Gun and gear reviews Sulun Arms Gen 2 Spas Review

39 Upvotes

Ran some 1350 6 shot out of the spass-12 today, I think it needs some more break in for sure. But still ran pretty good. Semi auto felt a little weird with high brass considering I was running low just fine yesterday. But all in all it’s a spas, if you’ve owned an original you know they don’t always run the best, this is honestly the best bang for your buck if you’ve always wanted one. I’ll keep you guys updated if anything breaks or how it’s running in the future. In the mean time I’m gonna put some more shells through it and go skeet shooting with it (dumb idea but I don’t care lol)

I shot the Chiappa LA322 deluxe takedown 22. 20 shots, failed to extract every second shot. Then the frame cracked. What a fucking scam.

I am building a bubba'd jungle carabine a bit like the picture and i was wondering if anybody has tried the Lee enfield pro mags ? I'd like some opinions before buying some

Before people start throwing rocks at me i purchased it for cheap and restored it, it's nice enough to keep but not collector enough to sell it for a profit and i can't see my target past 50 yards with iron sight because of my mole rat vision

Gun and gear reviews Misleading Claims

3 Upvotes

What are some of the misleading claims that you have heard from firearm manufacturers/hunting gear brands and hunting/shooting influencers?

Wondering because I often see ads for hunting rifles or shotguns being overhyped or just in the most unrealistic of situations. Or another example would be MDT's HNT26 chassis (I'm not hating on MDT, yes I have bought products from them) but I find it just unnecessary to pay that much for a chassis to do the same job that a Tikka T3x light or a pencil barrel Mauser would do.

I want to hear your thoughts.

A bit more info on the glock lever action. Price is a bit high, but if this ends up being properly modular and allows multiple calibers, it could be sweet! Excited for it to exist as an option, at very least. Looks like releasing before the end of 2026, and Interestingly is being tested at some Canadian gun range? Wish they would let us know which one so we could try it out!

Though James from TFB looks to have no interest in this gun, and almost feels like he can't wait to carry on the the next booth. Just an observation.

Just messing around with some mag extensions to speed up reloads. The small mag extension is ok but still a bit annoying to reload quickly. The coupler works well but I'm not the biggest fan of the flip reload. I designed "big black" so I can get a good grip around the shaft for easier back and forth in the mag well. This is just an initial prototype for sizing and attaching to mag.

Gun and gear reviews Citadel Adler ad-500 warranty nightmare

30 Upvotes

Hello all. Thought I'd share my experience.

I purchased an AD500 in .308 in August or so of 2025. Upon trying it for the first time, I couldn't hit a barn at 100 yards. Figured it was just me and iron sights. After a breakin cleaning I noticed a piece of iron on the floor (uh oh I hope that's not out of the rifle). Upon inspection and looking at the parts manual, it was a piece of the cam pin that the bolt slides on to rotate. Put in a claim, all was well, they sent me a new part. Great!

I then put an lpvo on the rifle and took it to the indoor range to sight in. I had a 1.5-2" grouping... At 25 yards. Turns out, the barrel is failing. Rifling scored and pitted. Ok. Great. Put it another warranty claim, and they had me send the rifle out to gravel agency in Quebec from Alberta. This was December 2025.

Warranty was approved and process began. After a couple months went by, I began following up frequently. They were waiting for parts, or a new rifle. Then a new rifle showed up at their facility, but it failed inspection. Now about a month ago, I had a new reference number issued in my firearms account. Awesome it must be on the way soon, finally.

They sent me an invoice saying it was ready for pickup, in Quebec. I followed up with them to confirm it will be mailed back, and they said yes just an automated error, and they would send a tracking number when sent. Awesome.

3 days later I follow up as I still had not received a confirmation. They told me it was shipped July 13th via Canada post, and should be arriving in the next couple days, and keep checking the post office. Fair enough. It is now July 29th and after having no delivery notice still, I have been hounding them to send a tracking number or even any form of proof that they sent the rifle back to me, or that their IT department was working on the issue like they said (not sure how it's an IT issue). They told me to take their word for it, that wildfires have been disrupting Canada post, and they cannot disclose company information, and they can't do anything about a refund until they "figure it out". Canada post standard across Canada is 4 business days according to their website, and no postage delay is active on their website. They have basically told me now to just wait.

If a company can't provide something as simple as a tracking number for a package they shipped to a customer, and have no real explanation as to why, I'm convinced they haven't sent me anything at all.

Any advice?

So we recieved a pair of these a little while back, one in 3030 and one in 45-70 and when they were anounced at Shot this year I was super interested in the 30-30 but a little skeptical of a carbon barrelled 45-70 for recoil related reasons. But i was pleasantly surprised at how well weighted the rifle was. Not only was the action as smooth as you'd expect from a Henry, but it was also incredibly well balanced and had a nice bit of weight to it too. I dont think they'll unseat the Marlin Dark Series as king of the out of the box tacticool lever, but the carbon wrapped barrel and tactical foregrip certainly pair nicer than I thought they would.

The review is here: Sulun Arms TAC-12 "M3 Super 90" Review - Form Over Function

I had to get the first gun I received replaced under warranty, it would not cycle. This one did work, mostly. It has some compromises in order to give it the M3 look and functionality. At the now cheaper price, it at least has a place as a range toy.

Gun and gear reviews Neumann Metalworks Homesteader Furniture

Thumbnail

77 Upvotes

Just wanted to throw out a quick review on the metal handguard and grip adapter that Neumann Metalworks just put out. Super reasonably priced, came to I think $170 all in with express shipping included. I am putting a picatinny stock on it but just figured I'd snap some photos of it now, as the stock itself arrives in another day or two.

Super solid feel, easy install, and very cheap for what you get. The handguard and grip were combined, half the price of the Midwest Industries handguard alone, which has also been discontinued I believe.

Did not receive any sort of incentive from NM to write this, just doing so because he was great to interact with, has install tutorials too on his site to make it super easy, and was a great price for all aluminum furniture for it. Super nice to have a modern ergonomic PCC setup again.

Photo doesn't have the picatinny stock installed yet as Im still waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Mag in the photo is of course empty, just stuck it in the rifle to complete the look for the photo to show off the furniture.

Very solid kit, good fitment, I love it. It is just a bit over 27" OAL even without the picatinny stock installed, so i believe it is technically legal to use even with just the pistol grip as it is over 26" OAL, someone correct me though if I am remembering wrong or misinterpreting something (I dont intend to use it anyway until I have the remainder of the stock installed).

Gun and gear reviews Backland Hunter Update

37 Upvotes

Was at the range with it today, not 1 single bad thing to say about it. First 20 shots were sighting it in. Put about 250-300 rounds of 223 through it. And a new friend put 60-100 rounds of 556. Not 1 FTF or FTE. There was 2 light strikes and 2-3 times with a full mag the bolt didn’t close all the way. Obviously not running the crypto mags so from what I heard about the mags making this a bad firearm I agree. Swap those out and you’re good to go. Only time will tell how it holds up. Also not me in the photo.

I used FTF as in Failure to Feed. Sorry it I wasn’t 100% correct in that. Iv only been a hobbiest for about 2 years now.

There was 2 light strikes in the first 40 rounds. Could have been an ammo issue as it was cheap, could have been the firearm. I’m just a guy giving insight to a firearm that’s very controversial. No I’m not an expert I’m just a guy who wants to enjoy range days.
