Just wanted to share some info to hopefully protect others.

Last week I was contacted by a number (902-751-40XX) with an offer to trade a lever rifle for an antique pistol I had on TownPost. After some discussion the deal morfed into two lever rifles for two antique status pistols. I requested proof of age (for the antiques) and he sent a pic of a health card. I sent my info for a PAL verification to which the fellow said he wouldn't bother. I figured I did my part, if he wants to risk prison that's on him.

The fellow seemed very enthusiastic that I ship right away. He was using a PO Box in Springhill NS and he wanted me to ship at the same time as him or before him which is something I don't typically do as a seller. Being a trade though, I told him to give me a pic of the box with my name/address and tracking and I would ship immediately. I was even outside the post office waiting for him to ship on his end. The whole tone of the deal at this point seemed OK but I was starting to get a voice in the back of my head telling me to look close at things.

He had excuses why it was taking time to ship and said his wife was doing it. After an hour I messaged him and said I was leaving to do errands and that I would ship after he sent tracking on his end. A picture of the tracking number finally came later in the afternoon with no picture of the box or label and when I checked it the number was months old. That sent my spidey senses off.

When confronted, he said his wife must have sent the wrong picture. He was adamant that he'd just spent $140 for shipping, which sounded about right, and was really wanted me to ship as he had already done so.

At this point I figured something was wrong but still wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and said if he could provide the three things I asked for, I'd ship.

He assured me he would sort things out and get the correct information. I quickly realized that he was playing me. Providing me a picture of the shipping label hours after I asked. Saying he never actually shipped but wants to just not until I do. Even going so far as to eventually make a box of approximately the right size with a shipping label (that didn't match the first one he sent me) and saying again that he had shipped giving me a picture of tracking numbers that were obviously from a flat rate box (rifles don't fit in those).

By the time most of this was happening I'd already figured out te was trying to scam my pistols from me and I was just toying with him because he'd annoyed me. I wanted to share all this including his partially redacted information ((902-751-40XX) PO Box in Springhill NS B0M 1X0) in the hopes it saves someone else the annoyance of dealing with this idiot.

I think the thing that annoys me the most is that he got a lot of personal info from me for the PAL check and shipping.

Hey everyone, I've never shot on crownland and I have been looking at scouting some spots. I found this one and I wanted to see if it would be a spot to start practicing long range shooting. I'd be firing parallel to the roads and in the direction of the arrow. There are no dwellings within at least 20km of this spot. What are your thoughts?

fyi this is around north bay ontario

So i ordered on the 7th at tenda online. Completed my purchase and submitted my PAL and id. They sent me a tracking number on tuesday afternoon for ups flat rate 20$. It wasnt picked up till today. Then yesterday it shows that the shipment has been revoked at ups. No updates on my tenda account orders page. So i called them. They said that everything is okay we are gonna put a new shipment and tracking id for you "soon" . I called again today close to 3 pm ontario time. They said yeah itll get shipped soon, maybe today or tomorrow we dont know when for sure. Anyone else had issues like this before?

They got a location right next to princess auto s.e, Is this just a pick up location or can I walk in and browse around. Anyone know?

Interested and excited to start this hobby/pastime. But am fearful of the damage to ears, I already purchased some walker xcel 500 headphones for outdoor shooting and was going to double up. Wondering if there is anything else I can do or if I should just not worry

Recently made my first ever online purchase, I bought a non restricted rifle but I might be out of town on the estimated delivery date, if so can anyone sign for it or would I need someone with a PAL to do it?

I am curious what the standard expectation is when selling an item on GP to a buyer in another part of Canada. E-transfer is the default where a buyer is trusted, and I know that the GP rating/reputation mechanism provides some assurance - but I am curious if that is the normal expectation for a distance transaction or if some people use Paypal (and if so, if “goods and services” is the normal expectation or if folks use “friends and family”). Thanks

I've been told it might be a Lee Enfield, possibly a No. 4 MK I or a SMLE. But after looking at photos the magazine here isn't located close to the trigger guard or maybe I'm misunderstanding something. It's my dad in this photo, but he passed away several years ago, or I'd have asked him directly. Anyway, I'll appreciate any insight or clues, thanks!

Looking for recommendations for a gunsmith familiar with working on Winchester model 12s in Southern Ontario. Preferably around the KW area.

Looking to have a new barrel cut down and fitted.

I'm curious

Hey guys, new to owning guns.

I've been watching gun videos for years but nowadays watching DonutOp and Demoranch makes me so jealous.......

Any cools Canadian guntubers that make regular videos? Big or small creators

Although they have been banned, they still deserve our love and passion! They don't deserve only collecting dust in the safe for ever.

Disclaimer: All firearms in the video have been pre checked, unloaded and with trigger locks on. The video was shot in a perfectly controlled safe environment. The copyright of the music and the first 9 seconds footage belong to Lari Basilio.

Just finished up my new duelling tree.
8 6” paddles.
Now to find the time to get out and test it out.

Does anyone know anyway I can get this gun imported since I can't find it on any Canadian websites but it does have a FRT number. Is there some gun stores that do that kind of stuff?

Last I checked:

• 22WMR is not limited by new semi auto design ban.
• 22WMR is not limited by mag capacity.
• 22WMR is a hell lot fun to shoot.
• 22WMR is actually useful in small game hunting.
• 22WMR PCC will be actually useful in competition.
• 22WMR is incredible economical to shoot as well.
• 22WMR can be made in really compact and light form factor for fun and for work (hunting).

So why is no one making new PCCs in that caliber and ammo in Canada?

Hello? MRA? Kodiak? anyone?

I picked up a LED flex lamp with a 3"(?) magnifier built in. I'm thinking of clamping it on the shelf above my work surface. Any other ideas?

Hypothetically if a person were to modify a pump action rifle receiver that uses an AR magwell to fit MRX mags would that be legal? If so would modifying the magazine to have only one set of fins and modifying the rifles’ magwell to fit the one set of fins be legal?

I recently picked up some score low recoil slugs and high velocity slugs but when I opened them I noticed that the brass neck or whatever ya call it are the same length compared to my challenger target slugs where the brass neck is super short, so I’m just wondering if they’re made like that or if they put high velocity slugs into a low recoil slug box.

The table all shooters use at my local range spot was flipped over and heavily damaged.Some other folks showed up shortly after me and were just as upset as I was.I know it doesn’t sound like a big deal but somebody built this table for everyone to use and it’s been there for years thankfully it’s currently being repaired but damn this made me mad.

Below are the 18 most-listed models from the last 2 months, with the midpoint ask and the typical range (the middle of the pack, so the lowballs and fantasy prices are trimmed off).

These are asking prices, not sold prices, so think of them as a ceiling.

Hey, mods please help me out. Are we allowed to call out scalpers by (user) name here? Specifically talking about gunpost.

Parasites should be shamed publicly in my opinion.

I use gunpost a lot. Some of the posts and prices I see are friggin wild.

Can we as a community do something about this?

So quite a few people actually prefer the factory charging handle location on the tm22 and asked me about this abomination i made a few months ago so here it is🤦
