Carcano cavalry, it's definitely seen some things haha. If that rifle could talk haha. I love milsurps ❤️

Howdy folks!

The Texan is back with yet another gun appreciation post.

Today, we got the Type 97, which for a while was actually popular in Canada, and yes in this one, I did include THE Canadian Flat Top version that was available. I don’t know if you can get them anymore, but these things are actually pretty cool in my opinion.

I know some people will say:

“It’s Chineseum and it sucks!”

I know, still over here in the US I wish we could buy them, but unfortunately we cannot due to how Norinco was banned from importing rifles into the United States, and now we can only get Norinco Shotguns in here. In particular the Hawk Industries Hawk 97/982, which is better known as the H&R 1871 Pardner Pump and Blue Line Solutions BL-18

Anyways if y’all have experience with the Type 97, let me know about it!

Enjoy!

no5 Jungle Carbine I got recently. Im in love with her.

1945 BSA Shirley. sling is repro.

for those confused, its a switch, to turn your glock handgun into a full auto

Got bored not having the bayo on as it wouldnt work with this stock. Instead of cutting out the stock I wondered about the look of a short bayonet. Chopped down a scrap spare.

Have one sks with the bad ace micro dot mount with holosun 507c thinking about setting up other sks with scout scope

I’m guessing the most obvious draw back is accuracy with sks and weight

So this is a tribute to Gallipoli. Game just came out on Steam btw. Royal Marines Lithgow 1914 No1mK3 Gallipoli bring back at bottom. Artillery destroyed. All matching, no FRT. Pristine bore. Legit relic. 2 of the ottoman guns are traced to Gallipoli Ottoman units by Univeristy of Ankara.

Since so much has been banned I wanted to try something new and ask y'all about dewats. Anyone own them? Or hate them? I can imagine we might get a lot of dewat AR's come october of this year (since they were originally registered). Better that than handed in.

Just curious what r/canadaguns thinks about that category of "non-firearms" in general.

I am looking to buy a Mosin 91/30, and I came across an ad on GunPost for one in supposedly good condition for $900.

$900 is much too high for a standalone rifle, but the listing includes 375 rounds of ammo.

The total price seems reasonable considering the ammunition, even though the rifle itself would be expensive on its own.

I have read a few comments here mentioning that this particular seller tends to overprice their items, so I wanted to see what others think?

For around $669 CAD for the rifle plus $230 CAD for the ammo, is this a fair price or is it overpriced?

What do Canadian Mosin experts think?

I found this is a trunk while doing some organizing I forgot I even had it. If I remember correctly it was brought home by either my grandfather or great grandfather after the finished their service.

I have a left shoulder injury from playing adult football as offensive tackle, but still managed to pull off this fully bolt action run with S&B 150gr sp loadings. I had to admin rim lock at one point rapidly before closing the bolt since I noticed the rims overlapping wrong way before slamming home the bolt.

Looking to see if you know of any good gunsmiths around the GTA to get a Mossberg CBC 715T deactivated, I’d much rather hang it up than give it in for destruction.

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet another Gun Appreciation Post, where today we have a gun once available in Canada in small numbers before eventually being prohibited.

Today we have the Beowulf!

.50 Beowulf is an interesting cartridge because it was originally designed to take out an engine block, but the funny thing is that the cartridge found its own cult following for people who go hog hunting.

It’s also appealing for those who live up in Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut as they all gotta worry about bears and need something for bear defense. The amount of punch that the .50 Beowulf Cartridge delivers is enough for that.

In the states, one of the appeals we have for it is that it is a straight wall cartridge, and some states have hunting laws that only allow you to hunt with straight wall cartridges and not bottlenecked ones.

Anyways enjoy!

Howdy Folks

The Texan is back with yet another gun appreciation post, where today we have the FN P90, or as it is called in the Civilian market, the PS-90.

Once was available in Canada, and now no longer is due to it now being classified as a Prohibited Weapon.

Still though, it is a cool gun to talk about because for many of us who are Gamers or Weebs, well let’s just say that the P90 gave many people nostalgia, and its easily one of the most recognizable weapons on the planet.

Anyways

Enjoy!

This is assuming they didn’t hand it in to local law enforcement and they never sent it back to north sylva for a full refund. Is anyone still fighting this in court?

AAG has a couple no5 enfields which i am looking for. I had never heard of them before ans wondered if anyone has ordered from them before? TIA

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet another Gun Appreciation Post, where today, we look at another prohibited weapon that used to be available in Canada, but is unfortunately no longer available for purchase.

The one and only!

Heckler & Koch MP5 Submachine Gun.

I mean come on, this is the most iconic submachine gun in history, and it has made an impact in counter terrorism operations. It is definitely an icon, and would be worthy of its own museum exhibits.

Anyways

Enjoy!

I bought a refurbed ‘43 pu mosin for 2k. The scope serial number a large b number, so probably made in 44. Mag plate force matched, otherwise all matching. Is this overpriced in todays market?

Out with some norinco 7.62x51..

Pretty decent stuff, goes bang, no ftf.

My ruger gunsite had light strikes with this stuff.

Got this very nice Russian Berdan II at auction last weekend. I'd been looking for a nice complete example for years, most of the ones in Canada have had the chambers drilled and plugged for some reason. This one still had the original blueing around the chamber area so I knew it was unmolested.

This parts-complete example was made at Izhevsk in 1883, it still shows a lot of the original blueing with handling marks but the bore looks brand new and it has the correct post russo-turkish war front and rear volley sights. Other than the bolt, which is also Izhevsk made, it is all matching. I found it pretty cool that the stock channel has the matching serial handwritten in graphite.

Sometimes you just have to make your own chassis for a sks.. first prototype and no where near perfect but getting close to where I want it 😅

Howdy Folks

The Texan is back with yet another Gun Appreciation Post, this time with a more iconic gun that had to do with some recent events that occurred, so I decided to make a post about it.

That’s right, today we have the FN Five-seveN, before the handgun freeze, you were in fact able to get one of these no problem.

Oh and to any Splinter Cell fans in here, you are very welcome for the shoutout.

Enjoy!

A local pawn shop has a heavily sporterized Kar 98 for 575$ and I've wanted a Kar 98 my whole life but even sporterized I never find them and when I do find complete original ones they're like 2k$ not talking about other variants but German made ww2 Mausers do you guys think that's a fair price?
