Hi everyone,

I have my Remington 700 SPS 308 over 10 years. Only goes to indoor range and no hunting experience. Recently got a MDT XRS and AICS 10 rounder. And planning to do long range shooting.

Here is the question, I torqued down both action screws to 65 inch pound according to MDT. However, the rear screw doesn’t seem long enough to go all the way up, and still have few threads left. As compare to the factory stock the screw is flush with the hole.

Is this normal? Thanks in advance

I was trying a new box ammo and put it under the spotter and the twist is fairly significant. That video is the worst of it and after filming other boxes the twist was not as bad. I was wondering if this is something I should be concerned about? The gun is accurate and I was hitting the mark at 600 yards after a few tries.

thanks!

EDIT: the barrel is a 1 in 10” twist rate, bullet is .30 06 Hornady ELD X 178 g

I'm building out a couple Tuf-22's and the first was plagued by fitment issues between upper and lower. Now after significant work I've gotten a better match but some of my H3CR mags will not seat fully. Anyone have experience with this? Any other issues anyone has come across ?

Does anybody know if all Benelli M4 compatible stocks work on the Crusader Arms Backland Hunter?

More specifically the Toni Systems Stock.

Hopefully one day Woox or Magpul will make an M4 compatible stock, but until then, this will have to do

Good evening,

I recently had an out of battery discharge in my TM22 and I wanna get the barrel inspected before I do anything else with the gun. I tried running a ram rod through it with a brush and it comes to a hard stop, even though the barrel has no visual obstructions (but I can see some sort of deformation in the barrel).

Are there any gunsmiths in the Ottawa area besides the Gun Medic and Gunco? I used to go to That Hunting store but it seems they don’t offer that service anymore.

American Bulldog Lightning Express 6" Barrel** couldnt change title

I got my first antique handgun today, the trigger is strong, cylinder is good and tight, and everything seems good except half and full cock don't hold. Double action works though. I am a bit concerned as to what this may require to fix.

If I end up needing a new sear or something instead of gunsmith doing a fixing not requiring parts, can I get them from other Bulldogs or does it have to be the 6" barrel versions? They are considerably rarer and I am really hoping I didn't get myself into a situation. I looked at Numrich and they didn't have much of anything for mine. It's in .44 Russian.

...anytime I tinker with picatinny rails, kitty expects me to re-zero the optics with a laser dot on the wall, ROFLMAO

I never posted here before, but considering the issue I'm facing and the people in this group, this is the perfect opportunity.

I just bought my first firearm with my PAL! Got it for 260 at a local gun show in my province, it's a Lee Endfield Mk4 if I'm not wrong and I'm trying to figure out how to unsportize it and bring it back to it's original glory, any help is greatly appreciated

I got the new Derya TM22 pro and after the first cleaning the middle top screw is very loose and doesn’t go all the way in.

It was pretty firm first time I opened it and now it is very loose. Should I change the screw or anything else?

Hey all! I'm redoing a cooey .22 rifle from the 50s and look to oil the stock. I saw alkanet oil suggestions and love the way it looks but not getting many hits in Calgary when I google. Does anyone know where I could get this or inquire about it? Seems to be mostly powder when I google and I don't want to risk trying to make my own oil. Truly appreciated if so, as this is a project I'm working on with my dad at the moment and he has waited a long time for this together. TIA!

Just purchased a Canuck Lever Action 30-30 (Boss) from my local gun store. Currently seem to be having some issues with the way the action, slide and hammer work. Some clearance issues. It seems to open with minimal issues but closing is almost impossible as it hangs up on the hammer. Anybody have any experience with this particular issue, or have an advice? Currently still unused. Wanted to be a birthday present for my dad in May but obviously not if im gifting him problems. Thanks

I was about to do the "toonie fix" on my new Derya TM22 Pro, but I noticed the bolt stop seems to have been upgraded to a new white bolt stop that doesn't fit down the buffer tube (unlike the older bolt stop). So even if the rubber washer gets chewed up and pushes into the buffer tube, that white bolt stop will make contact with the buffer tube and should (in theory) prevent the bolt from traveling back far enough to cause damage to the charging handle. What do you guys think?

Bought a Gen 3 Pmag from FOC and it won’t insert when there’s 5 rounds in it. Anything I can do about it?

Just bought a used troy par 223 2nd gen and seem to be missing 1 of the 3 rail pieces, could anyone tell me where i can get one quickly or a 3d printed alternative?

So my gun found its way into a body of water today after it had a sqib with a flair.

Cleared it and ran a cleaning rod down it and fired another round. Gun works fine but was thinking I should probably clean it.

Was pulling it apart and noticed the bent gas rods. Were can I get some new ones ?

Just got this new mossberg. Wondering if this gap is normal or bad machining at the barrel end or in reciever.

CGN Member Greentips was one of if not the first person in Canada to get a Makasi, as he imported the Restricted version from IRunGuns. In his posting his initial result soft of firing the Makasi on CGN, he noted a discrepancy between the captions on the pictures of the gas system in the manual, and the actual behaviour of the rifle. I have phoned Makasi and confirmed the captions are indeed incorrect, and that they will be correcting the manul. For Your Information, from both Greentips and Brigade Firearms themselves, the gas system is in unsuppressed mode when the adjustment slot is in the vertical orientation, perpendicular to the ground. The suppressed setting has the adjustment slot set in a horizontal orientation, parallel to the ground. I will attach an edited, corrected screenshot below. Thanks!

Hi everyone, has anyone installed a muzzle brake on their Winchester SXP defender?

Are there any you can recommend and was installation easy?

Thanks!

I just bought this Canuck hunter 20 gauge used and it didn’t come plugged. I cannot figure out how to get the mag tube open to insert a plug. Tried prying the circle cap you see out figured as is was like other spring retainers but didn’t budge, any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey guys I wanted to know what does it sound to you. I’m looking to buy a rifle that comes with a picatiny rail that has been replaced by a 20moa one from MDT. The owner says that it helps with long range.

Now I’ve already bought a 1.25" scope rings on a entry level precision scope; does it sound alright? I don’t know anything yet about scope height and setup theory. I just want to know if I have to change something or if it’s totally alright?

I’m planning to learn and practice long range shooting this year and I don’t have a lot of amateur/experienced people around me.

Additional info : I have a more hunter oriented chassis that I will swap the precision chassis with to go hunting with the said rifle. Id keep the same scope/rail setup, but it will not shoot long distance like once a year. Would it be alright in the case a 20moa rail + 1.25" scope rings are paired together?

I try to learn and listen a lot of what people has to teach. Keep in mind that I will not be a professional shooter that wants to get everything perfect for a price out of this world if that make any sense. I just want to enjoy some free time outside with friends while learning the essentials along the way. Thanks again guys.

Bought a SBI 597 magazine adapter for my 10/22 and a few 22rnd pro mags plastic mags, I cannot get the bolt closed with the 22rnd mags, anyone run in to this issue?

My shadow system MR920 trigger won’t reset and it is not about the spring position. I pretty sure is the trigger bar off spec. The answer is do a trigger bar swap to OEM glock Gen4 bar.

Recently took ownership of this SKS on an OPFOR Archangel. As you may see it’s quite dirty and therefore isn’t cycling very well. Looking for tips/instructions on the best way to strip and clean the action, I also need some wisdom on how I can remove the body to try and give it a scrub and clean.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Are these spots from a brand new m4 normal? They didnt seem to come off with clp and wiping. Just some oil/grease/dirt came off. Any help is appreciated!
