Her name is Taipan KS-1 & her name is SKS 81

So the owner states in my review that he’s never seen an email from me even though I have an entire thread with them. He also says I can call today and get a refund. Well I’ve already requested one in writing twice, and left a voicemail with no replies. After he or another older man who works there answered the phone the first time I called, I was told they were to be shipped out on Friday. when it wasn’t and the next week was underway, they wouldn’t answer any phone call from me, funny enough, I got a friend to call 10 mins after I had and they picked up immediately. After he asked for the hours and told me they answered I called them right away and sure enough, no answer.

Beware of ordering from this company. Worst customer experience, lying in their own reviews, and refusing to send a refund upon request.

Was pleasantly surprised by the backland hunter. The Gen 2 bolt carrier, recoil spring make all the difference. The trigger group is properly secured now so it won’t walk itself out. Fired 150 rounds of pmc 5.56 fmj without a single issue or hiccup. And yes I’m aware of my Amazon acog lol Just got the rifle and been dying to test it out. Sig sauer Lpvo hasn’t arrived yet.

I bought 2BX-25 mags from a Canadian online supplier. Tried loading them today and they won't accept the 10th round. I reached out to Customer Service and was told "Unfortunately due to the way these magazines are pinned, many of them end up only holding 9 rounds." Isn't it more likely somebody is drilling and pinning your mags wrong"if the rivet was an 1/8" lower it would take the intended 10 rounds without issue.

Am I wrong to be peeved??

Am I allowed to move the rivet and pin it to its legal capacity?

Was looking on Marstar and came across this... looks pretty cool I am thinking of getting one

Are they really that bad?

So far I’ve put 250 rounds through her.
This has happened a few times.
Example here in the video.
Today at the range I shot 100 rounds and this happened about 4 times.
Reasons?

Using PMC Bronze .357 Mag 158gr. JSP

So since we know a bit about the delays on the Makasi MK15 with its QC issues, has anyone who went to Taccom or anyone who talks with North Sylva have any information on what's happening with the Caramel release date?I know my LGS said they were expecting them to arrive late August. But they have heard nothing in regards to any updates. Seems like the Redditors here have all the inside scoops

This post is intended for an educational purpose especially to all those who think buying canadian or semi automatic, or even a tactical mixup would be great.

Oh boy, where to start this regretful dread of a post. Secondly, im just a young male who likes target shooting, not a hunting guy.

Bought a Crux 308 from crusader arms back in q4 2023 after it debut in the summer that year (i believe). Fired less than 60 shots at the time and had to send it in for ejector failure around Q2 2024, got it back around 8 weeks later (warped barrel, ejector swapped, and some other stuff, just the 2 that stood out to me especially after 60 rounds).

After I got it back I maybe fired 100 rounds though the gun but i had to take a year off shooting to focus on some other personal matters.

Anyways fast forward to yesterday, around 12 -15 months since I last shot it, I didnt even break 50 rounds till the ejector failed again and was stuck shut with a dead round as well.

I baby the absolute hell out of this rifle pre/post shooting so having it happen around 250 (at most) since the first is remarkable bad craftsmanship. And to top it off i immediately searched it up and see it's this guns biggest flaw.

With the pictures above would someone be able to help identify that part name and how to go forward about this. I'd like to avoid getting this rifle converted to a trophy on the wall. I have once again started an email with crusader but with how the time frame looks im not optimistic. Im also going to a gunsmith on Tuesday hoping something can be done too.

But for a closing statement to all the new PAL users, please avoid canadian made. I adore my rifle but If I could I'd go back and not buy this.

I'm currently running a Steiner M5Xi MSR-2 no my Accuracy International AX

Lets talk glass !

Well, I pulled the trigger… literally 😂 on the new AD500A in .223, and for around $1,200 after tax, I can honestly say I’m seriously impressed. I couldn’t find any real world reviews on the AD500A in .223, so I finally said screw it and had to get my hands on one myself.

Put about 200 rounds through it today and with the factory mags it didn’t jam once — not a single issue. It was also amazingly accurate at 50 yards, especially considering It was quickly sighted in before shooting on the temp sight I have on it for now (Vortex Crossfire 2)

The rifle itself feels great in the hands. It’s not heavy, recoil is very manageable, and overall it’s surprisingly ergonomic and comfortable. Everything felt well balanced and natural while shooting, which made the whole experience much better.

The only real issue I found was with some of the factory fit and finish. I originally bought another one but noticed a lot of small surface manufacturing imperfections. Luckily, G4C was great about it and allowed me to exchange it, and thankfully the replacement I got has been solid with no issues or visual imperfections.

If you’re going to look at one, I’d definitely recommend taking a really good look over the entire rifle before leaving the store. Check the overall hardware, alignment, screw heads and even the tools provided. On the first one I had, there were little things that looked slightly out of line, some screw heads appeared warped/damaged, and even some of the included tools weren’t quite right. Nothing I experienced with my replacement, but definitely something I’d recommend checking closely before purchasing.

As for magazines, I bought a couple Amend2 mags to try out and unfortunately had issues pretty much every time I tried to use them. The two factory magazines that come with the rifle were a completely different story — zero jams throughout the day. I ended up pairing the two factory mags back-to-back to make a flip-mag setup, and so far I’m definitely sticking with them.

I ran PMC Bronze 55gr through it and it ran mint. One thing I did notice is that this rifle seems to perform best when running heavily lubricated. I kept mine well lubricated throughout the range session and, paired with the factory mags, it ran flawlessly.

Overall, I’d highly recommend the AD500A in 223 to anyone looking for a cool-looking semi-auto that performs amazingly and looks just as neat. Between the reliability and how accurate it was at 50 yards with just a quick sight-in, it definitely exceeded my expectations.

I’ve still got a bunch more parts planned and on the away for mine, so the build isn’t finished yet. For around $1,200 after tax, I’m thoroughly impressed with it so far!

A trip to the local princess Auto has been fruitful. Found this sassy double gun soft case for my 2 favorite guns. Was only $80!

brand new is like $200. Gets offended when asked a question and calls me a liberal lol.

I don't know where all these fake conservative are coming from and calls everyone a liberal. when they themselves get offended easier than an actual liberal

So… I hung Veronica.
Mission accomplished. 😅

Im wondering if anyone has much knowledge or experience on body armour in Canada, specifically BC.
I do alot of shooting on crown land and in my area theres alot of other shooters in close proximity, so Im mainly just concerned about ricochet or stray rounds, or the odd crazy hillbilly when Im out in the forest.

Im leaning towards a soft vest as opposed to plates just for more coverage and being concealable if need be. A carrier would be cool and Ill end up buying one eventually but in a situation that I need to be wearing a vest, it screams “shoot me”.
However soft armour really only goes up to NIJ 3A. I like the idea of level 3 plates in a carrier just for the fact that 99% of shooters out there are shooting rifle rounds and shotguns, protection from just pistol rounds is kind of irrelevant in this situation.

On another note, Ive heard LOF defence is good, wondering what other options there are out there and where I can find them. Im aware that Canarmor is a heaping load of chinese shite.

Soft vest for peace of mind or blow the budget on a nice carrier and some plates?

The review I made is now live. I really like the Supreme. It's one of those guns that I don't even consider a cope gun because I would still be interested if we had all semi-autos.

Looks much more aesthetic than the MRA Renegade .223

Received this box after a long wait. Imported from the states. Barrel is far from ‘free floating’ in fact it’s almost ‘bedded’ on the right side of the barrel. I’ve heard story’s of the Gen 2 American’s not being seated well, but IMO this is unusable.

With this being imported, there is an almost zero chance of it being replaced ……

First look at the Makasi with 18.6 Barrel

Got my new Sulun gen 2, shot some bird shot through it, in pump action, didn’t cycle semi auto (I knew it wasn’t gonna) and my catch clip flew off the spring for the rear sight lock for the stock, went to ace and got a fuc ton of them. That’s my experience so far with it, I love it tbh
