Finally took out my Kral KR 22 to the range today, and I could not be happier. For a gun that only cost $279, she shot absolutely amazing, surpassing my expectations. Here’s the full breakdown:

- the stock mags are shit, invest in a REM 597 adapter and REM 597 promags. The mags will need to be broken in with some use and maybe some oil

- I fired over 200 rounds and maybe had 10 misfires at most. I tried minimag CCIs, stingers and blazers, and I would definitely recommend the minimags. I shot 100 of them and maybe had 3 misfires

- for a 22lr, this thing is pretty accurate, I attached some photos of what I shot at 20yds

- overall is a very smooth lil plinker, would def recommend to anyone new or on a budget

Setup:
- kr22 OD colour
- Rem 597 adapter
- (2) promag 597 22rd mags
- kill house airsoft red/green dot
- cheap ahh laser at the bottom

Oh boy where do I start? It slam fired 1 round after 3 consecutive jams,2 out of battery detonations,my thumb got cut somewhere on the gun,near nonstop jams, countless failures to feed/extract,many of the failed fed rounds got smashed and were unusable, and my feelings are hurt because this gun looks really cool but isn’t reliable at all.

2/10

got our hand on the REAL DEAL GPNVG set up,

video dropping soon, stay tuned!

Met a fellow Alcor enjoyer at the range, and got to hang out and shoot the shit, and talk about any issues from the Alcor now that I've gone thru 3000+ rnds with it.

First, if you're using the crusader arms handguard, and you're going thru ammo like money isn't a thing, then your handguard will wobble. 100% it will. Crank on the handguard nut at the front with channel locks or adjustable pliers if you want to remove any movement. Yeah it'll be scratched up, but shiieeet, chicks dig a weathered and used gun. Use loctite blue if you want some added stiffness.

Second, avoid STV ammo. I've mentioned this before in my previous comments on other Alcor posts, but STV .223 ammo is complete dogshit. I've had roughly 5-10% FTE rate with this ammo. The ejector isn't able to grab the rim sometimes due to cheap brass. Check out the pics. Stick to PMC bronze. Yeah it'll sting the wallet, but at least you won't look like a musket rifle shooter with a ram rod trying to manually eject your casing from the front.

Third. If you're sending bullets faster than your biweekly cheque can come in, then you're probably gonna experience what me and another user experienced: your firing pin roll pin will be sheared. I'm guessing Akdas didn't anticipate users using this rifle as much and as frequent. With Canadians being limited to Semi auto rifles in 223/556, this rifle is what we've got to work with. Besides that, the roll pin dimensions are 3mm diameter x 20mm long. I ordered roll pins from Amazon, and had to cut one down to length. It worked fine, tested it out last night at the range.

If you're an Alcor enjoyer and need pointers in taking apart your BCG for cleaning or repair, lemme know. I've taken mines apart a few times now due to the STV ammo issue (at first I thought it was the BCG acting up, but realized it was the ammo all along).

Cheers and enjoy your long weekend.

Felt like testing out different .22LR ammunition and this is what I came out with. Every gun is different but what has been your most consistent .22LR ammunition?

Another one off the list.

Canadian legal magazine extention for the Canuck Operator Elite

Testing is done and we are rolling on these right now.

Making parts for Turkish guns is very frustrating....

But hey someone's got too do it

Thunder 380 Bersa

Nothing says get out and shoot like coming home to a case of .22LR, S&B Canada Match from Tenda!

It’s not exactly match but it matches up well enough, going off a recent post ripping apart Tenda, and small retailers in general this was ten days shipped to my door professionally packaged and with a sticker for my beer fridge. Couldn’t be happier and I’ll be posting some groups and results! Great people and great prices!

I am getting my request on my townpost from buyers and all are saying i can still sell it as classification of banned firearms remain same as of today.

Anyone have any experience with it? Came across my Facebook feed and my only negative feeling is that it’s not a DBM (or semi auto but that’s another issue) but it’s still a cool concept.

Got this gun the other day for cheap. I found out why. The most awkward to hold while extended for my arm length and I find it constantly jams (running Norma Tac 22lr.) I'll try better round with HV but I shot what I had. What are your thoughts on this gun?

Do y’all’s think it’s worth it? Rn all Canadian stores are pre orders so should I get it from the US and ship it over. Any extra info for a new owner would be greatly appreciated

Edit

Yeah I know it says Benelli 1301 Mod 2 LOL. Brain got dyslexic thinking about M4 clones and swapped Beretta with Benelli to make me look stupid. Thx brain.

I put a roughly 750 rounds through both shotguns. Here are my thoughts:

Canuck TacOp

Pros:
- Significantly Cheaper
- Comes with 3 year warranty by Canadian Company O'Dell Engineering. Great reviews.
- Very Reliable outside of one ammo brand.
- Comes with ALOT of accessories. 5 chokes, match saver, hand guard, hand stop, QD mount and probably a few more I'm forgetting.

Canuck Summary:
I purchased this firearm because I wanted a good bang for buck shotgun. You'll see mixed reviews on Turkish clones. What's important for people to understand is not all clones are the same. This is a high quality shotgun that has exceptional value. Worried about getting a lemon? I was as well, which again if why I choose this Turkish clone as it comes with a 3 year warranty in Canada.

I tested Federal, Challenger, Winchester & Score shells. The only issue I ran into was with the Score shells. They wouldn't feed reliably. All other brands 0 malfunctions. Even cycled lower loads below what's recommended to cycle the gun.

The main reason I disliked this gun is the shell carrier & pinching my thumb while loading the tube. This is 100% a skill issue I developed from bad technique with previous shotguns. None the less, I found it to be a huge negative. I struggled to load this thing fast & consistently. Often with me cursing with my thumb pinched.

1301 Mod 2

Pros:
- Recoil System shoots faster.
- Shoots everything with 0 malfunctions.
- Pro Lifter Shell Carrier makes reloading very easy and comfortable.
- Comes with a hard shell case.

1301 Summary:
I rented this firearm to shoot at a local range. I instantly fell in love with the pro lifter. While it's mainly a skill issue. I liked the idea of completely removing the need for the skill at all. I can easily load this twice as fast & reliably then the TacOp. It did cycle the score with no issues as well.

It comes pretty bare bones. You'll need to spend another $500-800 to get everything the TacOp comes with. Which compiles the price issue of the firearm.

Which was better for me?

Without factoring in price. The 1301 is a significantly superior firearm. With a few after market purchases you can have the same accessories as the TacOp. It cycles everything. It's better built & the shell lifter is amazing. However to get this functionality, I'm now at roughly $2,800 CAD (firearm + accessories to match what the TacOp comes with)

Factoring in price. The TacOP is the significantly superior firearm. $1,000 CAD vs $2,800 is a MASSIVE difference. While the 1301 is better in absolute terms. Relative to price. It's inferior. While I'm sure the 1301 would out last TacOp, I don't think the difference would be as big as some brand snobs would like you to believe. You could buy almost 3 (or 2 if you don't care about the accessories) TacOps and shoot them till they fall apart for the same price of one 1301.

The TacOp is a fantastic shotgun that with the 3 year in Canada warranty helps stifle any quality of production issues.

Ultimately I sold mine in favor for the 1301 Mod 2 because financially I can afford it and I really liked how the 1301 mod 2 loaded. If the TacOp had that feature. I wouldn't have swapped. I would have spent the extra money on Ammo to shoot.

Which is better for you?

Only you can answer this based on your wants and needs & budget. The Canuck M4 Clones have great reviews (mine included) & with the warranty, the uncertainly of Turkish manufacturing is heavily mitigated. Don't sleep on the budget pick if money is a bit tighter.

Just picked up today after a multi-month wait and super excited to try her out! Review to come after load testing this weekend.

Cadex Seven Stars Pro, Stormtrooper White, MX1 muzzle brake, Kahles 8-64x56 scope with SPUHR QDP-6016 and Falcon Lite AES bipod.

So we finally got one of these in with our order yesterday (its gone already so not trying to sell) and i wanted to point out the mag release and mag for the made in canada versions. Of course its disappointing it doesnt come with an AR mag (which is what held up release of the 556 to canada) but i do have to say compared to the other Rugers we've had in i like the mag release and fit of this style alot more. Sometimes i find on the other gen IIs you really have to slap the mag to get it to click but this one slides in and out and seats nicely.

In hindsight i probably also should have snapped a photo of the duramag that it comes with too before i sold but i didnt.

Anybody else having problems with this ammo? Had two different 308 bolt action rifles try to fire this stuff and it won't ignite the primer on either of them. Rifles work fine with other ammo.

I am looking for some advice on a decent gun safe. I don't need more than 8 gun capacity and would like a digital keypad vs key only option. One issue is my shotgun is 49 inches long which seems to be an issue with some of the gun safes available. I would like to have a shelf for ammo etc. Budget is ~$500.

Anyone use one of these and how are they. Anyone add a cheek riser

looking for a budget lpvo was originally planning on getting a reddot with one of those flip up magnifers but i would like something where i can just control the zoom was looking at the vortex brand they seem to have alot of different options and im not sure exactly which one to choose if anyone has any experience with them let me know.

Hi all, I'm eyeing on this .223 Rem, wondering if it also takes 5.56 NATO? Rumour on internet saying that these .223 Rem guns are labelled this way for import purpose, but it MAY take 5.56 NATO

Hello fine folks,

Looking to purchase a scope for my 308 for deer hunting,
The market is a bit overwhelming with the amount of choice, and most of professionals i asked seemed to try to upsell stock,
Id love to get some of your opinions
Budget 700$

Thanks

I got myself an Adler Arms RF-224 today and boy I really like the look and compact size of this firearm. I was surprised to learn its a 10/22 copy and takes Ruger mags and it also comes with an adapter for Remington 597 mags. Also 2 Ruger 10/22 rounds mags. I am pleased as punch right now. Can't wait to take it to the range and break it in.
