I received my (R)PAL a few months ago and am looking for a range in the area. I'm aware of the Guelph Rod & Gun Club as well as the Galt Sportsmen's Club but am looking for a range with as short of a waitlist as possible. Only looking to do rifle shooting as of now. Let me know of any recommendations (or places to steer clear of) and any reasons why. Thanks

Has anyone bought any 15 round magazines for the TM22 lately? I just got 2 in the mail and they are a really tight fit in my 18" pro. They are loosening up a little as I keep putting them in and out but has anyone else run into this?

Trying to identify this single 12. It is stamped MADE IN USA and has larger letters U S in sort of a figure 8. Other than a serial number starting with U on it I can't find any other markings.

Hi there, if i wanted to get a deactivated firearm, are there extra steps i need to go through ? On collectors source, they got brens and type 56s aks on there that are deactivated. Thinking of purchasing one sometime. Any replies are great, thank you

Recently purchased a ACE in 6.5 to hunt with this spring and fall. Super stoked to head out for bears soon.

Have a area 419 muzzle brake and a mdt GRND bipod on it. Crimson trace hardline pro for glass. Will be upgrading that ASAP

Recent 5 round group at 100 yards using federal premium berger hunter hybrid 135 grain.

okay pls help me. We're looking to get into shipping ammo at Uxbridge Arms. I know Canada Post cannot ship ammo, but does anyone have recommendations? I'm thinking UPS is best, but the paperwork with them is wild. I have to set up a contract with them, but i dont know if anyone has had better experiences with other companies, pls let me know

Hey has anyone used this service with BassPro? Thinking of getting a rifle appraised to get a couple shotguns instead. Do they offer fair value?

Does anyone know of any valid discount codes to purchase TACCOM tickets? Through maybe CCFR or CSSA etc. Thanks!

While I understand registering anything as restricted is a silly idea, it’s something I’m willing to do at my own risk.

That said, I know that some people have been able to register things like 10/22 shorty builds, or like a pistol grip on a DLASK shorty shotgun.

However, I wanted to take it to a platform I don’t think anyone has meddled with yet. I wanted to get a Tactical imports .410 or .45 revolver rifle with the 9” barrel, and locate a compatible pistol grip to replace the stock, or work in conjunction with someone who 3D prints to create one (a non-prohibited 3D printed part of course). It’s something I wanted to do to document the process for others who may be so inclined. But first of course, is the need to find a verifier. So where do I go to find one, and what is the process like? Cheers!

Spring weather and no work means it's time to exercise the ol trigger finger!

Saw some people in the comments of the new IWI post talking about how it is a big plus for the Makasi to change barrels via the simple castle nut.

Does anyone know the gas system length of the Makasi as I was not able to find anything on google. Is it carbine length? Personally it would be nice to swap something like a socom profile barrel but everything I see shows the longer barrels 18+ as rifle length gas systems and this would not work with the op rod for the Makasi. Does anyone have any ideas regarding this as to what would need to be done for this?

Also a carbine length gas system would be quite aggressive on the components of the rifle and recoil impulse with an 18.6" barrel so I am wondering if Brigade made any adjustments to the recoil spring or changed the length of the gas system.

Im going to my buddies cabin this weekend. We’re going fishing, sledding, shooting etc the good stuff. I’m just wondering if there is anything special I should worry about for the guns. It’ll be mild this week, roughly -10 to -15, maybe even -5 during the day. But overnight it’ll dip down to the low/mid -20’s.

The two guns are an RF224, and an M1 Garand (more concerned about the Garand, not worried about the RF) My main concern is shooting them, and then once they get cold again, condensation forming.

I’ve got a good pelican case I’m storing them in, and I’ve brought a bore snake to run through them later on. They’ll be stored in the cabin, which won’t always be warm so is there anything to be worried about?

I haven’t shot much during the winter months so I’m unsure of any specific practices or things I should be aware of when shooting in the cold.

Thanks for any info

If anyone is looking for some excellent training courses happening this year, I highly recommend Phase Line Green Tactical. I have taken their tactical shotgun operators course, and it was incredible.

Main use would be turkey, grouse and deer.

I'd like to know if I'm overthinking this regarding ammo for this new boi.

I want non-toxic for what I eat, so the plan is:

Bismuth #5 for turkey (24" turkey choke)

Steel #7.5 for grouse (28" IC choke)

Copper Sabot Slugs for the rifled barrel.

Might also get a box of cheaper Challenger clay shots for target shooting.

Does that make sense?

I have an antique Brazilian Nagant Revolver, almost literally from Forgotten Weapons lol. It is originally chambered in .44 Henry Centrefire, my question is would it be ok to use .44 Russian? Would it have to be reamed like a Reich's revolver or is there something I'm missing as to why that wouldn't work? I've tried reading up on the differences between the cartridges but end up getting spun around. Alternatively I could get someone custom reload for me (I'd love to reload myself but am short on physical space and time currently), but if .44 Russian will work I'd rather go with the relatively cheaper, available option.TIA

A couple of random questions:

- if you buy a used gun that you can’t physically inspect how likely is it that the barrel has been “shot out” and is less accurate? Does the calibre affect this (is it more likely to happen with a .308 than a .223 because of the higher pressure - or does the added cost of .308 ammo mean it is less likely that a high shot count was run through the gun)?

- In terms of sheer numbers, what do you think are the most common types of centrefire ammo in circulation within Canada. I am thinking .223, then 7.62x39, then maybe.308…? Ultimately I’d like to get a reliable bolt in each of the most common calibres.

I’m moving to Hamilton in Sept for school and wanted to get a membership at the silverdale gun club since I’m gonna way to far from my CL spot

I wanted to ask if anyone else has a membership there and what their experience is like

Bought a SCSA Taipan .223. Just read the manual, and it says you need to do a multi-step cleaning, shoot, cleaning, shoot, clean, shoot, etc. until you’ve shot 50 rounds.

Is this really necessary? We don’t have a range near us. We are booked for June 7 at a range 2 hours away. I didn’t know about this breaking in process, and now I fear I’m going to be wasting my 1.5 hours at the range just doing this.

Can anyone please advise?

Would you consider this to be abnormal wear? This is the first 590 and Mossberg shotgun I’ve owned so I’m not sure what the typical wear looks like. About 150 shells and this mark has appeared on the ceiling of the receiver.

Is it common practice to inspect cases from the box to check for damage, inconsistencies, ensuring they are indeed the same cartridge (had bad experience of a random cartridge in a box of 308, maybe someone played with the box in the store).

I’m finding some brass with minor dings from factory. In my new box of 308 Nosler TG only three are without dings on the cartridge... See picture of dent on the neck. Am I just too anal and should I just send it? Appreciate the discussion as always!

Last factory rifle I had, a Tikka T3X CTR, was replaced by another “custom”. Like usuall, a mostly Canadian “build”

I’ll throw together a quick load with 75gr ELD-Ms or 77gr SMKs and test it this weekend so it’s ready for a 1400 m trip in a couple of weeks.

I was just going to bring the 6GT and 6.5CM, but I’ll probably bring this one too — doubt I’ll be able to resist stretching it out.

* I still have a stock rifle, a Coey Model 75 I inherited from my dad

Basically given up on finding long range spots near my hunting spots up north and I do have access on farm land but I'd rather not lose permission or have the cops called by aggravating their neighbours even if I'm doing it safely.

Having been thinking about doing a rattle can camo job on my rf224. my only real concern is if it would affect my warranty going forward? anyone have any information on this?

Those that sold the Norinco Type 97s, Tavors, etc before they were reclassified?

I was at the gun show with a buddy today. He bought an Ithaca 37 in great condition for $450. As we were walking out some guy saw it and said he would trade his savage Arms shotgun auto 5 clone. He said he paid $350 for it. Would you guys make that trade? What are you opinions?
