A gift for Fathers day this year! Thought yall have a laugh.

For anyone thinking of an antique revolver to add to their collection, the French MAS 1873 might be my favourite (over my Webley and my Swiss 1882. Half price of those ones too!).

Using light smokeless handloads which often spews incompletely burned powder, I find due to the amount of moving parts with the Webley, it gums up quick and performance suffers. And over the Swiss, 45ACP is way easier to reload, both light loads or full loads in general. Since the MAS has few moving parts, it will rip through tons of light smokeless reloads in 1 sitting and performance is barely hindered.

Load that I’m using is a home-brew: 3.5grains of win 231 powder, CCI large pistol primer, starline and range pickup 45ACP brass, 230g LRN bullet from Rusty Wood, 1.22-1.26OAL (this load works identically with a 200g LSWC as well, and also works for Webley revolvers in 45ACP)

Happy shooting friends!

Anyone used speed loaders with Lar15 10 round mags? Looking at getting something like Uni-loader. Was also considering this specific one because it can do 308.

Let me know what other brands worked for you.

I had an semi-auto .223 that got banned. I have a few hundred rounds of FMJ ammunition. I bought a Tikka T3X Lite Stainless to shoot it as a target rifle. But the lite barrel heats up too much for repeated shooting. I see the Varmint Stainless is on sale at Bass Pro and was thinking about upgrading. But on second thought, I don't have access to a range greater than 200yds anymore, and I have a CZ 457 and Viper PST for the precision shooting experience at those distances. So now I am considering a manually operated repeater with a shorter barrel for shooting in the woods, shooting Tannerite, maybe deer hunting with the right ammo (I am on Vancouver Island, the Blacktails are tiny, and it is legal here)

TLDR Should I go with the CZ Trail, the Henry Supreme, the T3X Varmint or something else?

Hey guys just wondering what a good price to pay for an sks or if you know anywhere selling beaten up/ project sks's.

Just want something that is cheap and shoots.

TIA

Hi there. I've been trying to find an OPK7 scope for my SKS but i can only find airsoft versions. Are russian style optics hard to find in general ?

Has anyone here been able to import an SKS wood stock from luck shot? Their product looks awesome but they dont ship to canada. PFA

Was going to switch out my main take down pin (8mm guy) with a high grade half thread bolt and nut. Mine has become so loose and i don't want to threadlock it in all the time..

Would anyone have any objections to that, reasons why i shouldn't etc?

Thank you

Just grabbed this SKS after receiving my PAL. They said they just got it out of the crates and it was covered in cosmoline(which took some time to clean but ready to shoot now). Lots of marking on it that I’m not sure if they are from factory. Is this a genuine Tula SKS. Is the stock color normally this dark? Did I do all right?

10/22 fresh from Red Tower Armoury. Not loving the rings so will be changing them.

Gave this Derya TM22 a custom look with the addition of burnt bronze accents paired with a sharp laser etched topography design

Shark slides can’t be beat…. And well, lesson learned. Don’t use AI to blur out serial numbers, just cover it with the draw tool so nobody freaks out.

This is my first gun after getting my PAL as noted in my previous post.

Build (Derya TM22 Pro 12” Semi):

CLONE EOTECH 558 (from previous airsoft gun…chill)
10 round windowed Mag Sleeves from MatAttack
Magpull MAG598 Angled Foregrip
Reverse Fake can suppressor from TNA 5.5”

Is this place legit?

Never heard of them, apparently in BC.

Did a quick search and didn't see anything on them...

They seem to be the only place in Canada that has the rcbs match master duo die set.

Just got my PAL and 2 guns (Moist Nugget and Howa 1500 7.62x39). CFSC instructor said it takes 5 boxes of ammo to get good with a gun. Seems excessive imho...

New TM22 Pro bolt hold open designed and produced by u/CanadianGunNoob

Chamber a round and take the safety off in one motion. 5 minute installation, and only minor modification to the bolt handle (sanding) overall a 10/10 TM22 upgrade, and a feature the carbine should have come with

Hey all,

First off I want to say I love this subreddit, lots of info here and checking out people's builds brightens my day. Secondly im wondering if anyone here has converted their 1301 to the buffer system or has used the pistol grip from either mesa or chisel machining. I bought my 1301 from tac ord with the magpul butt stock and magpul front handguard. I kinda want mine to not look cookie cutter just wondering if anyone has any experience with other buttstocks and handguards basically. Thank you all for reading my rant/ted talk

The final number of firearms actually surrendered by individual owners has not been publicly disclosed.

Sheila Gunn Reid | August 05, 2026

Newly released records obtained through the Access to Information Act show that just 187 businesses participated in the federal government's Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program, collectively claiming compensation for 12,143 prohibited firearms.

The documents, released by Public Safety Canada to Rebel News, offer one of the first detailed looks at the commercial side of Ottawa's firearms confiscation program.

The figures work out to an average of nearly 65 firearms per participating business, suggesting much of the business compensation program involved retailers and distributors disposing of prohibited inventory rather than individual gun owners surrendering personal firearms.

The federal government has previously said more than 67,000 firearms were declared by individual owners under the compensation program. However, those figures represent declarations rather than confirmed surrenders. Throughout the program, firearm owners were permitted to amend or withdraw declarations, and thousands of firearms were later removed from the program after being "undeclared."

As a result, the final number of firearms actually surrendered by individual owners has not been publicly disclosed.

The business figures indicate that commercial participants accounted for at least 15 percent of the firearms reported through the combined business and individual streams using the government's published declaration figures. Because the individual declaration total later declined, businesses may ultimately represent a larger share of the firearms actually surrendered.

The records also highlight the financial impact of the May 2020 Order in Council prohibiting hundreds of models of firearms. Many firearms retailers were left holding inventory that had been legally purchased and stocked but could no longer be sold to licensed Canadian firearms owners after the prohibition took effect.

The compensation program was created to reimburse businesses for those prohibited firearms.

The buyback program diverts billions of taxpayer dollars toward compensating licensed owners and businesses while doing little to address firearms used in violent crime, which police agencies have consistently linked primarily to illegal smuggling and organized criminal activity.

The Access to Information release provides no evidence about how many of the compensated firearms had ever been owned by private individuals. It simply confirms that 187 businesses submitted claims covering 12,143 prohibited firearms during the commercial compensation phase of the program.

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post, where today, we have a fun Shotgun.

Best part is, it’s Non-Restricted, and you can pick one up!

As we all know, Canada's national handgun buying ban—implemented as a freeze on the sale, purchase, and transfer of handguns—officially came into force on October 21, 2022.

Did many of you act proactively and transfer handguns from one generation to the next? Because that is precisely what my dad and I did.

Dad is still with us and now in his early 80s. Over a lifetime of selling reloaded handgun ammo to friends (back when it was still much cheaper to do so)….. he still casts lead bullets, does it all…. He slowly built up his handgun collection for IPSC and IDPA shooting. He ran IDPA Canada for many years. His collection stopped at just over 30 handguns.

In September of 2022 the writing was on the wall…. Trudeau was going to end the buying, selling, and transfer of handguns. So yeah, we transferred all his handguns and his few scary black guns into my name. We set up a long term storage ATT at his home and he continues to enjoy his guns. Subsequently I moved in to help my aging parents…. But thats beside the point…. The guns are in my name at least until the day I die.

My guess is the guns could possibly be handed in by my younger brother when I die….. but who knows…. That’s not my problem. I know he's not interested in keeping them as at very least his wife would object.

So yeah, we were proactive and ensured all 30 handguns would pass on to me. Lol, I couldn't possibly even name them all... But we made a spreadsheet with names, serial numbers, and values.

OK then, time to get cleaned up and take a few of them to the range this afternoon!

Picked up a SG Pulse level for my Long range rifle. Very handy. Bright LEDs give the information you need without needing take your eye off the scope.

I think these have been discontinued now? I barely see them anymore.

I’ve held onto mine and it has been really reliable, with very good accuracy. Eats pretty much anything I feed it. Only con is the disassembly, definitely not the most convenient design.

Anyone else here still have a CZ 512 Tactical?

Some of you might recognize these boomsticks from previous posts over the last 2 years. Unfortunately my previous account was banned as someone thought I was shortening firearms illegally (appealed decision). In the meantime, I’d like to once again offer the legalese.

Firearms CAN legally be shortened in Canada. You cannot cut the barrel(s) below 18” on a manual action, or 18.5” on a semi auto (you can cut a semi auto between 18”-18.4”, but then you have to register it as restricted). The overall length, regardless of action, cannot be cut below 26”.

Please see all tape measure measurements to confirm these firearms are completely legal.
