12/15/2023 was the cutoff deadline for semi auto centrefire rifles (STANAG) that can still be approved by FRT without having to meet the new requirements of Bill C-21.

We’ve had a few trickle through in the last year (Alcor, Chimera, L85AI, Makasi, Carmel) etc.

Are there any other models that could potentially meet this same criteria and doesn’t already have an approved FRT or do we think this will be it?

I’m sure there are still some obscure American or European makes that have not yet been submitted.

I don’t know what it’s like in the rest of the country, but in southern Ontario there is a huge shortage of ranges. It’s not like the demand isn’t here, as the ranges that do exist have closed waitlists. What gives? Is there like some kind of cap on the number of permitted ranges in this province?

Hello r/canadaguns! 

We are Every Defence LLP, a criminal defence firm with a special interest in firearms laws. Our team is composed of long-time PAL holders with a passion for anything and everything firearms-related. 

Like you, we are collectors and enthusiasts who are navigating the complex and ever-changing firearms law regime. We are particularly frustrated by the lack of helpful information on niche topics within the hobby. We felt by providing general information and the opportunity for r/canadaguns community members to ask us general questions, we hope to keep the public informed on current firearms law regulations while also tackling ambiguity and myths in existing laws.

Every month or two, we will pick a hot-topic firearms issue that has been percolating in the r/canadaguns community. In doing so, we aim to provide needed clarity on the current state of the law to that topic.

Importantly, THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, and we cannot answer questions about your specific situation.  You should not construe anything we say as legal advice, and you should speak to a lawyer immediately about any legal predicament you find yourself in. In no way does the general information we provide create a solicitor-client relationship, and it is not meant to serve as legal advice for any legal predicament you may find yourself in.

We are moving to the USA and I have filed a atf form 6 to bring most of my firearms. They accepted most but two hand guns and the AR and one Winchester SXP of all things! What are my options I obviously don’t want to turn them in. Is there a way to sell those handguns in Canada before we go?

I was scrolling through Reddit earlier and came across a historical post featuring a Boys anti-tank rifle. It got me wondering:
What's the largest caliber rifle you personally own?
And out of curiosity, what's the largest caliber rifle that's currently available on the market?
Looking forward to seeing everyone's answers and maybe a few pictures too.

Cheers

Hey all, wondering if gunpost is still the go to place to offload ammo and arms.

I don't really shoot anymore and I've got boxes of new ammo and other arms I wanted to get rid of. From what I see gunpost is still the best but checking if there are any other places to consider?

Clean your pieces?

Finger juggle your boooollets?

Plan your next purchase?

Read and study?

Shoot?

Kind of in a lull right now and need some ideas!

Obviously not a ar15 but this cope is similar enough.

I'm just curious and not really looking for a debate. Thank you

Just checked out GoTenda Calgary for the soft opening this morning. Holy shit, the warehouse and storefront are HUGE 😂 It feels way bigger than the Toronto location.
Not a ton of guns on the shelves yet, but I’m guessing they’re still getting everything stocked. The whole place is honestly pretty crazy to see in person.
Calgary finally got a big one 👀

...barrel threading is next.

Ok, so this is off topic from what I usually do... But over the weekend I decided to make a tool to parse the 108,000 page PDF of the FRT the RCMP publishes a couple times per month. It was pissing rain and windy, so this was more fun than shooting.

Today I'm launching https://gunlink.ca/ The site will let you search the FRT, see classification, cross references, and other info. It will also let you download the pdf for a specific firearm. There's still some features I want to add, but for now it's mostly working.

For the fellow nerds, here's my source code for parsing the PDF: https://github.com/alkalifeldspar/Frt-Parse

It takes an hour and a bit to process the PDF into a MySql DB.

Long shot, but I figure I would post up here and try to get some momentum behind getting the Rossi 7122M Delta in Canada by making a dedicated post. It already has an NR classification on the FRT and would be a small but nice change from all the .22LR semis we have now.

I have already tried to contact North Sylva (via CGN) and Gravel Agency but neither have replied, so I am wondering if anyone out there has contacts or influence that could get the ball rolling on this.

Consumers; Ask your retailers to inquire about these and stir up some interest

Retailers; If you could call in and ask why these haven't been brought in yet as customers are asking for it, it might get some more interest from importers drummed up..

I know there has been a number of comments and posts mentioning these between here and CGN as well as other groups, so let's see if we can't get them here.

First off I woke up ealry today and listed a few new items to start off the week

Then here comes The B.U.M and literally bumps up 40 pages of ads

So my new listings are now in page 40 lol

Furthermore when I first started using Gunpost a few years back I messaged him about a mag i needed, I made an offer for 10$ less ( I was over paying at even 10$ off ) and he wrote me a huge reply saying hes doing me a solid by providing Canada gun owners with unobtainable magazines, and then blocks me.

I actually just went thru all 40 pages looking at his mags and his prices are thru the roof, some mags hes selling are available New from major retailers at half off his prices

Morning coffee rant

Have a good week everyone

Since they came out with a new version today I assume everyone is going to switch, wonder who's still gonna pick up the original. Anyone think otherwise? Curious to hear your thoughts.

lfg ig??? so many people were there looking for guns??

Hi folks.

Love guns (have 2), hunting and the community. Whats new these days? Any political updates? Any new trendy guns? Any new developments? Provincial differences or developments?

Been working lots the last 3 months.

For me it’s .221 fireball and .416 rigby, I really enjoy shooting both but there isn’t much support for them and ammo is hard to come across. Curious what other rounds people wish were more popular?

Hey folks, working on a video about the SKS. Hoping some of you would be willing to send along pictures of your SKSes, especially action shots of the SKS in use in sporting/hunting/etc.

Please email them to [runkleofthebailey@gmail.com](mailto:runkleofthebailey@gmail.com)

Is the lack of availability in spam cans a result of everyone concerned with the SKS continued legality, a result of the Ukraine war, a lack of stock, or another/mix of the above?

I’m just trying to get some cheap spam cans man.

I recently purchased a TM22 Pro, and was wondering what makes it so popular? I’ve seen it in the subreddit multiple times, what’s your favourite part about the firearm?

Just saw this at TACCOM!! The chassis looked quite appealing when viewed up close (and in black anodize especially). The few videos online right now don't do it justice. The button and knob placement look very ergonomic. I really can't wait to see how one of these is field stripped because that is the particular quality that makes the Ruger 10/22, and also the Derya TM-22, so appealing to me personally. I totally nerd out about cleaning for some reason. 😅

$2500 on the dot so not even a flip
