When I've invited people over to shoot at my range, we used to spend too much time picking up shotgun hulls and any brass larger than 22LR. The last couple of sessions, I've put a nice heavy 10'x10' tarp on the ground at our most used distance. We put my Caldwell portable table on it or stand on it while shooting. 99% of the brass stays on the tarp. At the end of the session we either lift the corners and then scoop it into a bucket from the centre, or we just fold the tarp and deal with it when back home.

I'd definitely use this method if I was shooting on public land too. Maybe we could start a trend and most people would do this so that there'd be less mess left behind. Just a thought.

Since I got downvoted in a comment in a different thread, here is a video showing dry firing the TM22 with a chamber flag inside. Not sure if it can cause any damage, seems fine to me for occasional dry fire.

I was looking at the SA80 from this link https://gunsweek.com/en/rifles/news/murdoch-co-em85-rifles-real-civilian-sa-80. it seems to me that this would be classified as non-restricted. I took a look on armalytics and it is only banned due to being automatic, but a semi auto clone should be fine.

I just need to rant for a second. I bought an SKS with an ATI stock from Bass Pro because it was on sale. I didn’t get a chance to shoot it for about a month. When I finally sat down to clean it, I realized it was missing both the gas piston extension and the spring.

Essentially, I bought a bolt-action SKS.

I emailed Bass Pro customer service, and their response was incredibly disappointing. They told me that next time, I should completely strip the gun down at the retail counter. They basically said, "Too bad, so sad." It really sucks because now I am out almost $1,000, but I guess that’s life. and cant find the parts online

You ever buy a gun and then ask yourself why?

In the case of this Federation Arms SPM 12 w/ 9” barrel, sure, I could carry it for hiking. I do live near the north coast of BC and there are mountains and mountain trails everywhere… and lots of bears…. But I restrict my hiking to August and the bears are all down by the river or in lush lowland vegetation.

But I already own a Benelli SuperNova Tactical 12 pump shotgun…

Build quality looks ok although the charging handle is bolted on cheap plastic. Still, not a bad buy for $575 but not great…. But my God that Benelli has shot upped in price since I bought it.

I still haven’t taken it to the range yet…

Was really hoping to hear from bullseye north by now giving a rough update on the time line when deliveries will start coming through.

Anyone heard from their retailers about potential delivery dates?

Anyone else surprised the NRA from the us doesn’t support their brothers in the north? For a bunch of gun lovers, they don’t mind turning a blind eye

Kodiak Defence released a new product for the Alcor-223, an AR trigger adapter. According to TNA it has these features:

All-metal construction

Drop-in trigger adaptor housing

Includes redesigned bolt catch

Maple Ridge Armoury Maverick. 20 inch barrel.

I have lots of accessories planned for this one.

I'm not talking about trap shooting, I mean if you bring a rifle or pistol or whatever, does your range allow you to shoot reactive targets or just paper? way back when I first started shooting, I would shoot paper and I got bored of it really fast. I think that's why I moved to the crowned land so that I could actually shoot reactive things. it really kept my interest going. back when I was looking to join a range, it was pretty much only paper unless it was like a trap shooting range or whatever.

curious if your range allow you to shoot pistols and rifles at anything other than paper and if so, what are you permitted to shoot? I take it it would have to be something both robust and safe

Hey all. Just came across this ad. Can anyone identify this shotgun? I thought it was some .22 at first then i fully read eveything. I have never seen or heard about an “hk15” only one i could think of is the deyra mk12

I mean are there any milsurp stores that sell any firearma cause whenever i go to a city when i can i go and shop at a store that sells milsurp clothes and i shop there but they dont have any guns so are there any stores that still do that or is it no more? (Im young and dont know if it exists here never heard of it so relax)

Would there be much of an advantage having it up further on rail?

2 FMJ? Middle one is cheap Chinese surplus I assume. What are the other 2. Is the bottom one a soft point?

Like the title says. I’m a huge nerd for old and weird guns that came from the 20th century and would love to have some to display on my wall. I’ve found a few both in the states and overseas, I was wondering if anyone had attempted to import any of them?

I know the UK for example is super strict on guns so deacts have to be done to a spec, so would a letter from their government satisfy the RCMP/CBSA?

If anyone does have experience with this, please dm me.

She’s going to need a scope now though since the factory sight is no longer usable. Forgot feet pic though - sorry..

Is this worth taking time out to attend / has anyone been before? Never been to a gun show so not really sure what to expect 🤷🏽‍♂️

Well, I grew up on the prairies. Guns were a tool, but I was always fascinated by my dad's Marlin .32 Winchester Special, Savage 99c .243, antique shotgun, and .22s (Cooey, Savage, etc).

I freed up a lot of time for shooting a few years ago, and got my PAL. Told my spouse that I " just want a .22 and a 12 gauge".

Fast forward to today and I'm 5 calibres and 5 digits deep, with 5 actions in this hobby. And I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. 😁

So here's the question: how many of you had a similar experience? And how many are happily shooting 2 calibres and loving this sport/hobby?

Get out and shoot safe this weekend.

This is a rant...

I've been an IRUNGUNS customer for over 7 years... I am no longer. It used to be that you could get cool stuff through them and often pricing was comparable to Canadian sites when items became available. Lifetime spend is just under $5K Canadian + fees and shipping. I'm not a whale to them.

I ordered a Henry Supreme IN JUNE from them because the chambering I wanted wasn't yet available at a Canadian retailer. Had I waited 2 weeks I would have bought the same rifle at TENDA for significantly less... Instead I'm still waiting for my gun and I'm out over $400 extra.

I'll survive. But I'll never buy from iRG again.

Look at all these rounds! Looks like heaven to me

I see FRT entries for these marked as Non-Restricted. They are 114 mm barrel and 318 mm barrel. There is nothing in the market in truely this category. This is basically a pistol length barrel in a rifle that is about 20 inch length I guess. But I never see them listed anywhere. Were they never really launched or something?

Had a nice range sesh blasting clays and slapping steel with my brother. Was able to test by 14” 590 that has been Vang Comp’d against my brothers shockwave with the same stock. Definitely a noticeable difference in recoil. The noise signature didn’t seem much louder, just a different type of report, that being said, hard to tell outside with ear pro on.

Looking to sell my registered handguns and wondering if any businesses will purchase them?

Hey all, I feel like my mom trying to find something on the internet, but I renewed my PAL, but forgot to pay for the renewal itself.

I'm no longer on the renewal page and I cannot seem to find the section to pay for it online.

The renewal is in process, but I have until September 6th to pay for it. I'll give them a call after work, but the RCMP portal is so barebones that it's tough to find the page.

Thanks in advance !

Just saw these at the big show. I guess the RF-224 with the extended mag release that have been around are like a MK1.5, because the gen2 has some other quite notable differences. The extended mag release is there, but they also plugged the top screw hole for the foreend and switched to what appears to be a takedown twist knob on the side. Really weird! Also, no more crazy glued buffer tube, as it has a 1913 adapter built on the back, and it comes with a fixed, more minimalist stock. I'd be interested to know if they made any internal changes. I find the RF-224 ejector placement makes bolt removal and reinstall somehow even more annoying than a stock 10/22.
