If I keep the original stock aside, does it still count as Bubba'd?

Now with more feeties!

Bought my first gun, a Tikka t3x in 308. Many people I've talked to said your recommendations were on point. Now to look into scopes!

Only problem is there is some dents on the barrel. I know things get banged up and the first scratch it always the hardest to accept, but it sucks getting it pre banged up. What would you do in this situation? It took long enough to get mailed here (form Firearms outlet) and I really like the grain on the stock and I'd hate it if I had to return, wait forever, and get back a new good barrel with lesser stock

Absolute Rock Solid PRS rig ready for the next match!

Is this safe to shoot long term? I dont want the pitting to lead to a larger failure down the line. I’d like to use this rifle long term as it is my go to semi right now.

Also, would normal cleaning and oiling prevent it from worsening?

Thanks!

Hello all, I should probably start with a little while ago I put a NCstar gas tube setup on there and it’s been a nightmare ever since (probably what I deserve for trying to bubba the thing) any time I fire it either doesn’t have enough strength to push the bolt back enough to full eject the round or the bolt stays and it needs a little tap to open and eject the casing. I’ve swapped gas tube with a buddies rifle and it cycles as it should, so I’m pretty confident from the small test and the couple reviews I’ve read lately that the ncstar tube is junk and I’m curious if anyone here knows a good solid place to find a new replacement gas tube or if anyone here is in Alberta and has one they can part with, thanks!

Hi all,

Got the bad news from the OPP and relevant authorities that target shooting at Fingal Wildlife Management Area is not permitted, even though hunting is. Makes sense, right?

Anywho, I’m appealing to the kindness of target-shooting friends here (we’re not strangers really, we’re all comrades-in-arms just trying to enjoy our hobby despite the government unjustly suspecting us of nefarious motives) who happen to reside within an hour’s drive of the London area. Do you happen to own/know somebody who owns private property where it’s permissible to target shoot? I’d really rather not drop over 400 clams at my local range next month for a membership, I just wanna shoot my flintlock and my .22, with or without supervision. I have my own targets and am willing to travel up to an hour from city limits.

A man should be able to enjoy his hobbies but unfortunately the powers that be just don’t like fun. Thanks for reading and happy shooting!

Hello everyone,

I am looking to get into practical/competitive shooting but as you know recent bans made it impossible to get a handgun. Is the rifle discipline of IPSC active in Ontario?

Can I join the black badge program with a semi-auto? If not, is it possible to rent a handgun solely for IPSC shooting? Are there ranges/clubs that allow practical shooting with a rifle?

I am located in GTA and unfortunately couldn’t find a lot of information online. I can travel so doesn’t have to be in the GTA.

Following up my previous post, I finished the custom case for my buddy and his pair of Winchesters. I'm happy with the result, my only gripe is the visible seams in the felt. Of course I was able to find larger sheets of it once I was almost finished the project 🙄

While waiting for the makasi, what brand/type of 5.56 can you recommend. My 1st 556

Just wondering if anyone knew anything about a decent sling for my tm22 and wondering if running an lpvo would be worth it instead of the sight on it right now

I used to shoot quite a lot just around the beginning of the dark times. Around then and before in the 2010s i remember 308 being a cheap full rifle size cartridge. As I came back into the hobby the start of this year I noticed 308 has gone way up in price and especially after seeing a box of 30-06 going for the same rate in cabelas yesterday I’m just left wondering what’s happened? I’ve heard the global wars are to be responsible but then why hasn’t .223, 7.62x54 or 39 seen the same increases?

Title says it all. Is it worth the money and effort or is it too much work for the results you get? I'm thinking about buying one but looking more into it and learning that you have to modify even the magazines it's beginning to look less and less appealing. Maybe someone here that's installed and used one can change my mind?

I purchased a Canuck Wrangler Jurassic in .357 Mag. I chose .357 over .44 Mag because I’ve always wanted a firearm in that caliber, I already had a mold for it, it could shoot .38spl which is way more available than .44 special and .357 looked fun and cheap to reload.

I bought a box each of .38 and .357 and the day I got the gun went to a family member’s rural property to try it out.

.38spl American Eagle 158 round nose (all that was available in brass)

Quiet, had virtually no perceived recoil but did not like to cycle in the rifle. The rounds didn’t like to pop back from the mag tube. Had to fiddle around with it and poke the rounds with my knife blade to get them to pop back.

.357 Mag American Eagle 158 semi jacketed flat nose (all that was available in brass)

Love the bang, and the thump. Loaded flawlessly, every time.

I don’t know why the .38s didn’t like to load, it was a pain in the ass to fiddle with them. I’m hoping that some use will break the gun in and they will work in the future.

My 12yo son loves the little carbine, he likes the lever action and if he proves he can hit things with it he’ll take it hunting this fall. From other experiences with cast lead in rifles, powder-coated 158gr hardish cast semi-wadcutters should go the long way through a deer. I will do some penetration testing, and see what they will do vs factory.

Hey all, I've been seeing a bunch of people posting about getting exemptions for c21 to get 22 pistols. One thing I haven't been able to find is any information for those of us that live in New Brunswick. So does anyone have any information about where to shoot to get the letter out here? Whether it be in NB, NS, or PEI.

Edit: another question, does the letter only allow for a single pistol or can you get more? And does it expire?

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🤦

I already have a PAL. I applied to upgrade it to a RPAL. The online portal just updated showing they reviewed it last week and to wait for an update. I called them to see how are things going. They told me my photo was rejected and that I would receive a letter related to that.

Has anyone experienced that? How long did it take to receive the letter? It sucks because I have to mail my Photo Guarantor and references, wait a week for them to receive the papers, then wait a week to receive it back, then wait a week for Miramichi to receive it, then wait for them to process things.

Second month with PAL added a Mosin Nagant to the collection.

Where can I find 7.62x54R non corrosive ammo in Alberta?

Private transaction. Can somebody walk me through the SIAF transfer steps? Assuming the seller does not use/have an online account, The transfer can be done on paper and mailed in? Thank you

First off I woke up ealry today and listed a few new items to start off the week

Then here comes The B.U.M and literally bumps up 40 pages of ads

So my new listings are now in page 40 lol

Furthermore when I first started using Gunpost a few years back I messaged him about a mag i needed, I made an offer for 10$ less ( I was over paying at even 10$ off ) and he wrote me a huge reply saying hes doing me a solid by providing Canada gun owners with unobtainable magazines, and then blocks me.

I actually just went thru all 40 pages looking at his mags and his prices are thru the roof, some mags hes selling are available New from major retailers at half off his prices

Morning coffee rant

Have a good week everyone

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’m so tired of RSO telling me when i can stand and sit and if i can shoot a 12g at a paper target
Im in ontario, who wants to grab some acres out in parry sound and build a private range with me?

I just need to rant for a second. I bought an SKS with an ATI stock from Bass Pro because it was on sale. I didn’t get a chance to shoot it for about a month. When I finally sat down to clean it, I realized it was missing both the gas piston extension and the spring.

Essentially, I bought a bolt-action SKS.

I emailed Bass Pro customer service, and their response was incredibly disappointing. They told me that next time, I should completely strip the gun down at the retail counter. They basically said, "Too bad, so sad." It really sucks because now I am out almost $1,000, but I guess that’s life. and cant find the parts online

Hi guys,

Looking for a gunsmith that would be able to thread a barrel for a muzzle break for me in the Fraser Valley / lower mainland. Dlask arms is retired and rusty wood no longer take on new projects.
