Software engineer here with ~15 years experience. I've always wanted an offline/local only version of an app to track my disgusting habit and decided to go ahead and work with AI to create something on the weekend.

Is this something people would use if I published it?

My whole shtick is free, so I'd never charge for something like this since it's running all on your own machine.

Got my TM22 12" barrel today shipped from Firearms Outlet Canada. Managed to get out to the range and put about 160 rounds of CCI Mini Mag 40gr through it. Only a couple of failure to feed towards the end.

Lots of fun. Nice and compact

Finish is Burnt Bronze

True north arms reverse faux suppressor with break (you need to remove the cap inside the handguard to make the suppressor fit)

Vortex Triumph Red Dot

Magpul M-lok Hand stop

3d printed mag sleeves in PETG-CF

3d printed M-lok covers in PETG-CF

found the .STL files on thingiverse

Unfortunately no feet.

Alcor 223 poly version

Trigger Kodiak defence (trigger tech)

Stock Kodiak defence adapter (came with the trigger)

Magpul MOE stock

Tommy enterprise hand guard (already tracked waiting for Kodiak defence aluminum one to come in that I have ordered

Sight Vortex AMG UH-1 Gen 2

Long time coming. Been chasing an M10 for a while and when I saw one pop up online I had to — 27” .338 Lapua, Coyote, folding. Turns out they only get about three a year, this one was ordered in 2024, and every other shop I called said special orders on these are paused and were a 1–2 year wait even before that. So when they said “we have one,” I didn’t think about it very long.

Came with the rifle, one mag, manual and the Sako hard case. That’s it.

I already run a TRG-42, everything in the safe is on Nightforce rings and ATACR’s and I’ve moved all my bipods to ARCA (MDT Ckye-Pod), so I’m leaning toward maybe an S&B or Tangent Theta and a short M-LOK ARCA rail up front.

For the guys who actually own one:
What scope did you end up putting on?
Ckye-Pod HD, Accu-Tac, Atlas?
Spare mags — anyone found them anywhere other than Tenda? Did you go down the change-kit road for .308/6.5 training?
Anything you wish you’d known before the first 100 rounds? Break-in, brake, cleaning, whatever.

Also open to any accessory I’m not thinking of. Ammo suggestions welcome too — I’ll be handloading eventually but want a factory load to zero and chrono with.

As titled. It is not as heavy as people thinks.

For reference, I used to run a PEQ15 on a 16.5" Bren 2 and they ran very similarly weight-wise as the PEQ15 was an extra lb on the Bren.

I might take the faux suppressor off after some range test.

Edit: It is about 10.5lb as it stands. I do have a Surefire Scout light on the other side. Without the faux suppressor it is about 9.7lb. I rather suffer additional weight to not see the pencil barrel.

Missing from the lineup is

- little badger

- two Ruger 10/22s

- mossberg 88

- savage 64 .22lr

Friend of mine told me about GP in Jan-Feb of ‘25, and that you can buy firearms online and have them shipped to you (I live in northern MB, closest store that sells firearms is 750km away)

Game changer. Wallet breaker.

Had PAL since 2019, and a Remington 783 that I shot once in 6 years. Sold it last year.

My favourite to shoot is probably the Kar98k, though I haven’t even shot all of them yet because of wildfire evacuation last summer and outdoor range is still buried in about 3ft of snow.

This is what I've accumulated so far after my first 30 days! (I think I have a real problem) 😆

Saturday morning before I left to the range, I discovered that some junkie had liberated my 1301 from my truck. Weirdly enough they didnt take any of the ammo/gear I had on top of the case. Kept my cool during the whole process, made a report & gave em the serial number (obviously im never seeing it again). the cop that came by seemed to be a gun guy & was super chill, but at this point I was feeling absolutely gutted. After mourning my loss for a few hours, the wife gave me the green light to go out & replace it. Safe to say I am happy with the upgrade & im just glad to have a replacement. I got the black Gen 2 Mod 2, which was cheaper then my gen 1?? idk how that works but fuck it we ball.

My Second purchase this week. Man I love this thing!
Benelli M4 AI Drone Guardian

I don’t care for the whole “AI Drone Guardian”.
I just love how it comes fully decked out.

Really wanted a APC9 or GHM9 but alas, prohib.

So I turned my 1970s 10/22 into the closest thing. 26inch OAL without comp.

Ruger 10/22 carbine receiver

How'd I do?

Ditching the buffer tube for 1913 rail shortened the overall length significantly and so did the AK style grip.

My bubba sks with duckbill delete.

First time using this "plate carrier" felt silly still had fun.

Got my pal issued just over 30 days after submission, and the second that letter hit my desk I went to Tenda. For a mere $300, my ass got a pretty cool plinker right out of high school. Came with the muzzle attachment at the end, 2 10/22 mags, and everything to attach. Slapped my old airsoft red dot on the top and got a lil case of ammo, and I’m dying to hit the range. Note: Yes I’m broke asf that’s why I got this over the $600 Tm-22, yes I know this isn’t gonna be a generational or long term gun, yes I know it’s a Turk, but let me have my fun. I got to finally own a pretty decent rifle that I can call mine, until I get my bread up to buy a Makasi and SKS :)

Just got my PAL and 2 guns (Moist Nugget and Howa 1500 7.62x39). CFSC instructor said it takes 5 boxes of ammo to get good with a gun. Seems excessive imho...

A recent new (to me) arrival from Switzer's February 2026 Auction is this Russian-manufactured, 1953 production AK-47 Type 2 Assault Rifle. This particular example is an OIC 12(3) firearm, having been converted from select-fire to semi-automatic only. The Type 2 AK-47 is distinguished by its receiver being milled from a solid block of steel, and by the external Socket provided for the Buttstock attachment to the rest of the rifle. The stocks are carved from solid wood and have somewhat different contours from the later AKM furniture that I am familiar with. The buttstock in particular is narrower in profile than that of its later contemporaries. Whether this was related to the diameter of available lumber I cannot say, but this is entirely possible. In any event, the Buttstock is certainly different, with its inlaid, metal, Stalin "Flag" pin.

If one thing stands out about this particular AK-47, it is the quality of the machine work that went into its production. The machining is performed to a very high standard, with zero internal or external tooling marks. Every surface is smooth and contoured to perfectly mate with the surrounding metal surfaces. Very impressive work, indeed!

Original No5 buttstock put aside for safe keeping.

Looks legit to custom make Sulun Arms SR-45 Revolver - .45 can be turned in revolver.

Needed to get a baseline zero on some things and snuck out before dinner for some shots.

The Enfield came with a modified mount that is slightly canted downward and needed a scope in 1” diameter with more elevation adjustment than the Leupold 3-9 American Marksman (60MOA). The Crossfire HD 2-7 fit the bill with 90MOA.

I was able to get a baseline at 25yards in the short time window I had for today on the Supreme and Enfield. I’ll walk out a target further next time but happy that things are in the ballpark. Yeah the Enfield is dumb but it shoots well.
