Does anyone know if the Bushmaster QRC we preordered has a mil spec or commercial tube? Their website indicates mil spec but a shit ton of people who own them say commercial so I'm confused. Do they have both versions? I was planning on buying a butt stock in advanced but it ain't a big deal maybe I'll wait to recieved and confirm.

Just popped into WSS in Kelowna, they had a good selection of relaoding bullets still. Picked up some Barnes TSX 150g in both .270 and 7mm - been wanting to try these for a while, finally ditch the lead. I've heard good things about their ballistics and bullet weight retention after impact.

Snuck out to Hope today and visited Frank from Cerakote BC, dropping off all my AR goodies for him to work his magic. He realizes that that this is going to test his abilities a bit as the engraving on the lower isn't that deep for the colour filling I want - but I told him I would wait and I will pay - him being the perfectionist, I know it'll be good.
So, now it is hurry up and wait, but we're all used to that now.

I have so many guns now that it's time to stop buying, and instead start to make these my own. Quote:

| I have heard of Cabela's adding on a few extras after the sale on restricteds, insisting that they ship with a trigger lock and hard case, although stores have different guidelines for shipping than the public. Your $30 was well spent supporting a small shop.
As for the Cerakote job - I will keep you updated. I told him no rush and he is giving me a deal as I have sent a lot of business his way - I think he just started it this week after soaking it to get all the oils out of the materials.

So I paid for the rest of my Bushmaster QRC today through Dominion Outdoors, transfer is being done now.
Is anyone modding theirs? Probably just doing basic Magpul stuff on mine nothing crazy just planning out my parts right now.

Me too. And Zed is right, the $30 is going to a small business rather than a painful conglomerate. I still remember the last rifle I bought from Cabelas, and how much of a nightmare that was.
Anyway, I was reading a cool article on the history of the AR, and the boondoggles created by the old boys network in the US armory.
Why is the AR so lethal https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...lethal/545162/
and the original article from the 80's that outlines the history of the AR, and the difficulty in changing from what they had been using. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine...-story/545153/
It's interesting to see how and why the US military adopted the AR in a small caliber, and how many soldiers died because of the bureaucracy involved.

SFRC is also having a 15% off sale this weekend. Picked up some 10rd IMI LAR mags that were already on sale for $23 each, plus 15% off.

Argh, I want a glock.
Zed, are those the polymer mags or steel? I would love to buy some, but it looks like I missed out on the sale; and stock levels.
I did the steel shoot yesterday at the indoor range. Got my time down to under 7 seconds at 12 yards with 10” steel plates. This is for five targets. The instructors were under 2 seconds, which is amazing.
Then I got shot....
I watched as the dime sized piece of bullet slag came back at me and got me square in the chest. As rare as it is, this is the second time I’ve been hit by a ricochet shooting steel. It left a nice little bruise too, as it hit through a hoodie and two shirts.
It’s like I’m eating damn magnets or something.  | |

You need armour, bud. The mags I ordered are the Polymer mags. I want the shorter ones for my sons, so they can shoot with a bipod off the bench - my 5/30 mags are too long.
The site says the sale is still on - for less than $20, I ordered 5 to give them a try. https://www.theammosource.com/store/...q5ek7haefq01p6 | |

She's finally done!
After swearing off getting an AR15 due to all the hoops needed to jump through, ie the wall thickness shenanigans to prevent a full auto sear from going in, restricted status strictly for being an AR15, 5 round limit for rifles, etc, etc), I figured if the RCMP wanted to make it a pain in the butt to own, I'll just get one simply because we can.
Still managed to put a good scratch on the side of the bolt release from being careless. I didn't trust myself enough to assemble an upper so I went with a pre-assembled Daniel Defense M4V7.
Going to load up on 223/556 and go shooting with a coworker who has a Swiss arms rifle

Got my Bushmaster in the mail today. Minimal mods done, swapped butt stock and handguard today. Will swap out grip and charging handle in a couple days once they get here.

The red dot is fine for $60 but I def wouldn’t pay $100 for it after using it a few times. The no auto-off battery is annoying because it dies super quick

I like telling myself that the more owners in Canada there are, they might be more discouraged passing feel good laws on that particular rifle.

I have an itch to get a dedicated trap gun. I was seriously eying up a Citori 725 Sporting, but I keep reading that Browning is having issues with their stocks cracking and then taking months to replace in the 725 and XT models. So....now I am considering either a Caesar Guerini Summit or possibly an older Ljutic 73; I can;t help myself, I love the old classics.
Anyone have an O/U that they regularly shoot with feedback?
