Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post, where today, we have something that was at one point available in Canada, but unfortunately…. Yeah 2020 happened and it’s no longer possible. But at the same time, It’s a cool gun, and I actually have one funny enough.

The one and only!

Colt M4 Carbine.

I made mine inspired by the M4 SOPMOD Block II, and honestly it’s one of my favorite rifles to shoot.

Now I know you are all gonna get mad at me in the comments for mentioning Colt. Let me already tell you this:

I AM WELL AWARE OF THE SHIT COLT CANADA IS PULLING AND I DO NOT CONDONE WHAT THEY DO, NOR DO I SUPPORT THEIR ACTIONS. But please, do not go on a rant about Colt Canada in the comments, I am already aware and think it’s wrong what they are doing. But please keep that shit in the politics Megathread.

Anyways.

The Colt M4 Carbine was influential for what it was, and it truly set the standard for what a modern carbine should be.

Another gun once available in the Canadian Gun Market before the handgun freeze and essentially prohibition of handguns. But when it was available you could get them.

Anyways, today we have the classic HK USP Pistol, and honestly, this pistol made a statement for the philosophy of what it should be in the modern era unofficially if you think about it. There were pistol lights with it, and that was something that the USP did in the early days of its release. It was pretty ahead of its time because they bridged classic pistol design with modernity, and they made mounting weapon lights a whole lot easier.

The USP was also one of the first pistols built from the ground up specifically for the higher pressures of the .40 S&W cartridge, and yeah some might see .40 S&W as a dated cartridge, but for its time, it was actually pretty impressive.

It was also very corrosion resistant too, meaning it would LAST FOR YEARS.

Thanks for reading!

Enjoy!

New to milsurp. Need help with:

1. Identifying this rifle. I thought this is Lee Enfield No4 Mk2 but stamps on the receiver and bolt seem to be different

2. Zeroing front sight. I saw YouTube videos people loosening the front screw to move the front sight but mine seems to have none.

3. Is my rifle missing anything in the rear sight ? How do you set the elevation ?

4. Is there anything this rifle seems to be missing ?

Today we have an all time classic from the 1980s and 1990s, and it was actually one of the earliest guns to be under the prohibited list in Canada from what I have learned, and it was available in the Canadian gun market at one point, but it’s VERY rare, like you don’t see it that often.

Nonetheless it is a still very cool shotgun that deserves a lot of love, and I think that we should continue appreciating it.

The one and only

Franchi SPAS-12

Enjoy!

Today is Wednesday, and you know what that means! ITS WHEELGUN WEDNESDAY! Right here is a revolver line that was in fact once available for purchase in Canada before it was prohibited, in fact it’s one of those “Specials!”

That’s right!

We have THREE in ONE post!

The S&W Model 36, Model 37, and Model 637 Airweight.

Enjoy!

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post, where today we have a MilSurp that is often loved, and also seen as overrated by many. The one and only!

Mauser Gewehr98/Kar98k

Also to those about to accuse me of being a Nazi, I can assure you that I am not one, I am Jewish and I keep my posts Apolitical, and I talk about the history of the firearms and go a bit on the technical side of things.

Anyways with that out of the way.

The Mauser rifle was a revolutionary weapon that was produced, in fact most bolt action rifles nowadays pay homage to Paul Mauser’s design, and it was a big step in industrial production. Over 100 Million Units were produced, that is if you count the copies and of course modern derivatives too. If there was one rifle that I would pick that symbolizes an industrial machine that is the definition of mass production, I would say that this rifle is definitely a contender for that title, first place obviously goes to the AK platform, but this, for its time, it was very impressive that this weapon was copied and kept being mass produced. Hell even too this day, Mauser actually still makes G98s, but mainly as hunting rifles.

8mm Mauser is also still widely mass produced as well, where it is popular in Europe alongside 6.5x55mm Swedish as a hunting cartridge.

Anyways!

Enjoy everyone!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post, where today we have the one and only SPAS-15, and yes I checked, it was at one point available in Canada before being prohibited.

Mag-Fed shotguns can be bought in Canada, and there are a few that are available. I have mentioned in the past the Norinco Hawk 97-2 that is mag fed, and I even made a post on the Valtro/Brixia PM-5 Shotgun.

This one is another retro classic.

Anyways, enjoy!

Today we have a CAF Weapon, and don’t worry, I listened to y’all and kept it related to Canada with guns. I know this one isn’t available to an average citizen, but still is worth a mention because there are some CAF Guys in this subreddit who probably have experience with this weapons.

If anybody wants to give a suggestion for a gun available to an average citizen in Canada, I am open to suggestions.

Anyways.

That particular weapon is:

THE C9 LIGHT MACHINE GUN!

Better known internationally as the FN MINIMI.

Enjoy!

Also thanks u/Ohphee for helping me out on this one, I couldn’t have done it without you, and you were extremely helpful in the making of this one.

Anyways, today we have a gun that was once available in Canada before it was prohibited, and I actually have seen Arm&Gun’s video on it too.

The one and only!

FAMAE SAF!

It comes from Chile as well, and usually you don’t see that many guns from Chile either, since you barely hear about it, but this is arguably one of their most well known ones, and it’s pretty cool for what it is.

Enjoy everyone!

I would love to add an FR8 but I can't find one anywhere. I guess these are very rare, anyone know where I could find one? I have been looking all over.

Today we have a gun that once served in the Canadian Army, and it has seen plenty of combat throughout the first half of the 20th Century, and this is also one of the most successful designs made by John Moses Browning.

That’s right, today we have the one and only!

Colt M1895 Potato Digger Machine Gun!

Enjoy!

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post, where today, we have a classic piece from WW2, the one and only!

Anyways! Enjoy!

Enjoy!

100mm round for a T55 tank

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet another Gun Appreciation Post, where today we are looking at a gun for Wheel Gun Wednesday!

And I made sure to give two references to Canada in this one, since this was available in Canada at some point. In particular we got two territories in the North, which is Nunavut and Yukon! If anyone is from there, you’re welcome!

Disclaimer: I am aware of Colt Canada and am all caught up with the news, however, my posts are not for politics, and please for the love of god, keep that shit in the megathreads, because I have zero to do with Colt, and I am not affiliated with any gun company.

Anyways with that out of the way.

The Colt Anaconda is probably one of the most interesting revolvers. Y’all already play plenty of video games with it, including the Half-Life series and Uncharted of course.

Anyways!

Enjoy!

Howdy Folks!

Colt M1911 Series.

Disclaimer: I am already aware of the shit that Colt Canada is doing and I do not promote what they are doing. However, please keep those in the Megathreads, because my posts are not grounds for politics, nor are they intended to be political.

Anyways.

The Colt M1911 Series is a classic, and it was once available in Canada as one of the more popular pistols that you could get. I mean it is a classic and doesn’t need much introduction. It’s an over 100 year old design, and it STILL is relevant, even to this very day. In fact most modern pistols pay homage to the 1911 series with their recoil operation, why? It’s just a great design that is simple to maintain, and it works!

Anyways!

Thanks for tuning in, and enjoy!
