you could always get a .45-70 lever gun.

that'll kill anything in north america :fullofwin:

[roastpuff]

trust me on this, a semi-22lr gets real boring real fast.

you will not find a quality large calibre rifle for 399.99. my CZ bolt action 22 was in the 500 range after taxes and i dont regret spending a single dollar. i highly recommend going with the ruger over the other brands if you wanna go semi. again make consideration for a bolt action 22.

sounds like you were in cadets?
I guess a semi .22 might get boring fast. I don't know, still thinking about it. Maybe a Savage bolt-action or a Marlin?

Yes, I understand about not finding a great quality rifle for $399, but spending that on a 10/22 sounds a lot to me. :(

Yep, was in Cadets.

Well only the takedown is that much. A regular 10/22 in synthetic/birch stock is around ~260 ish.
I just got my license as well in january and did a lot of research. The bolt was also my favorite gun in class.

I believe the Savage mark II or the marlin were the best budge bolts for the money. Also, you should join canadian gun nutz forum if you haven't already. A lot of useful info there.

[T4RAWR]

my suggestion would be the savage mark II FVT.

its a bolt action with iron sights and comes with a detachable box mag. perfect setup to learn on.

Here's my modest collection. I'm going to pick up a nugget in a few weeks. Also been debating an SKS, but I probably will end up getting a M305, since all of my other friends(6 of them) have an SKS.

I'll get on CGN, take a look and see what's on there. :) Yes, I checked the prices and the regular ones were not as expensive as the takedown but still quite a bit more in price...

Thanks! I'll take a look at it.
get an SKS
Maybe in the future - .22's are cheaper, and easier to learn on.

[T4RAWR]

Im sure you'll be happy with the savage.

You'll be able to shoot on the iron sights and then eventually scope it and learn about all the things involving zeroing scopes and what not. CCI shotshells will be good for dispatching pests and the cb shorts are awesome and quiet enough to shoot without hearing protection.

[Zedbra]

My PAL finally arrived and into the safe goes my first rifle. My ex-boss gave me a Parker-Hale 7mm MAG that he has already dropped several moose and deer - it's a beauty and I'm looking forward to sighting it soon.

[Hondaracer]

stock looks almost identicle to my old Sako 7mm, i painted mine black though

[T4RAWR]

7mm is one hell of a hunting round, congrats :fullofwin:

[SolidPenguin]

Doesnt look like a Barrett. I think I should start saving up for a Barrett. Or maybe the bushmaster 50

[320icar]

just thought i'd throw this in here. went to my brothers vegas bachelor weekend. we went to a firing range, "battlefield vegas" which i could not say enough good things about. not only completely professional but really nice people. anyways. because we were a large group, they threw in a bunch of extra's too. im still waiting on a few pictures but i'll give you what i got.

i got to fire a bunch of magazines out of a warm up glock 17, then an mp5 which i had some jamming issues with. the classic UZI 9mm with stock. a tactical m4 which kicks really hard, but very controllable. then i was given a vintage ak47 with a folding metal stock. that one bruised my right shoulder a pretty good amount. everyone else got the classic wooden stock AK. then i finished it off with the belt fed RPD which i just went full rambo with. epic.

a few of the other guys went for different packages, which included desert eagles, a few rifles, a couple 12ga with buck/slugs etc etc. for my brother though, as the bachelor, they threw in pretty much every gun we used, as well as a grenade launcher (with concussion round, since we're indoors), an automatic rifle i can't remember the name of, bear with me. and no joke, a mini gun. we called ahead and reserved that one for him. it lasted maybe 10 seconds? we stitched two belts in at once so that would have been about 200rounds. i *literally* had tears in my eyes instantly. i have never been around so much power in my life. truly epic.

i'll update with more pics and videos once we have things uploaded. we had some good go pro shots too

[incubus]

awesome I've always wanted to shoot a mp5 and AK, but that's the first time I heard a m4 kicking hard and I've shot a variety of them

[originalhypa]

I guess a semi .22 might get boring fast.

I have a pretty unique arsenal of guns, and I still bring my Ruger 10/22 with me every time I hit the range. It's just too much fun to high speed plink my target tree at 100 yards. Even better with buddies when you put $5 down for the fastest shooter.

I have about 4 hours of sanding and polishing work on my 10/22 and enjoyed every minute of it. The stock is an archangel deluxe, whistle pig barrel, and lots of little bits and pieces that make it a rip to shoot. It's accurate with most ammo too, which makes it all the better.

I may not bring my 870, or the sks, or the 30-06, or the pistols, or the bullpups, but I always bring the 10/22.

Just something to think about.

awesome I've always wanted to shoot a mp5 and AK

agreed!
The AK is a classic, while a suppressed mp5 is something that you could talk about for years to come!
:lol





One final thought;
Dear federal government.
Where is my 9mm regi!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I want to shoot, but I can't legally carry the new pistol until the letter comes. It's like having a passive/aggressive waiting period.

[Hondaracer]

Damn want to shoot that mini gun

Does anyone know if there is an outdoor range in Vegas where u can shoot a Barrett?

[Zedbra]

I was handling a few .17HMR guns today and I think I have talked myself out of getting one - I don't see the need. If I want cheap shooting, I will stick to 22LR I think. But I did pick up a new strap and a box of ammo for my rifle, I'm going to try to get to the range tomorrow or Friday night.

[JD¹³]

I did it in Henderson a few years ago, M107. It was $11/shot.

Did you run across a CZ455? Keep in mind it has interchangeable barrels for 22LR, 17HMR and 22WMR. Might be an option if you don't want a dedicated 22LR now and think you really might want a 17HMR later.

[murd0c]

That's not a barrett though right?

Yes I actually think its a Barrett, I'm no longer friends with the guy that owns it but the guys he has a crazy. 50 cal desert eagle hand gun, automatic 12 gauge and others I don't even know the names

[supremematt85]

Revscene Poco meet?

[Hondaracer]

"Bullets and Burgers" near the hoover dam apparently has a barret lol :S

Bullets and Burgers - Packages (http://bulletsandburgers.com/packages)

[supremematt85]

Let's have a revscene gun meet.

[320icar]

wow! that bullets and burgers is a complete rip off. hold on, let me show you the prices of the range i went to. granted we got even better than the group rates since there were so many of us.

https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2929/14448679352_22dbed69bd_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/o1MfZf)IMG_7814 (https://flic.kr/p/o1MfZf) by 320iCar (https://www.flickr.com/people//), on Flickr

[originalhypa]

I was handling a few .17HMR guns today and I think I have talked myself out of getting one - I don't see the need.

The .17WMR is more of a small game/varmint hunting round. It pushes about 1000 fps faster than a standard 22LR so the damage to a coyote or raccoon pretty much guarantees a kill. Something that can't be said when using a 22LR.

Unless you have a need for a gun like that, just move along.

Did you run across a CZ455? Keep in mind it has interchangeable barrels for 22LR, 17HMR and 22WMR. Might be an option if you don't want a dedicated 22LR now and think you really might want a 17HMR later.

What a cool idea.
Cabelas has them for $600, not including the other receivers though. It might actually be cheaper to buy a Marlin 17HMR, a mossberg 715 plinkster, and a random 22WMR over the cz.

The cz is a nice package though.

Yes I actually think its a Barrett, I'm no longer friends with the guy that owns it but the guys he has a crazy. 50 cal desert eagle hand gun, automatic 12 gauge and others I don't even know the names

The guy must be a beast. The Barrett rifle is almost 30 lbs, while the Desert Eagle is 5 lbs with a loaded mag. I held one when I was at International and couldn't believe how massive it is.

Only Vinnie Jones can make it look small in comparison. Or maybe Ah-nuld.

[SolidPenguin]

Definitely not a Barrett. It looks like an Armalite AR50 to me

[Zedbra]

Well, listening to hypa and others go on about their 10/22's, I swung by Italian Sporting Goods on my way to work just to "check out" what they have and I ended up walking out of there with a nice Ruger of my own:

Ruger® 10/22® Distributor Exclusives Autoloading Rifle Model 11113 (http://www.ruger.com/products/1022DE/specSheets/11113.html)

http://i459.photobucket.com/albums/qq314/Zedbra/MIsc/Private/2014-06-19181822_zps80296cb1.jpg (http://s459.photobucket.com/user/Zedbra/media/MIsc/Private/2014-06-19181822_zps80296cb1.jpg.html)

It came with a Butler Creek mag seeing as how the stock Ruger 25 round mags are now prohibited and I also bought a 110 round GSG mag for it. The BC mag jammed every other shot - I only ran two loads through it. The GSG mag gave me 2 misfeeds the first load, one stovepipe the second load, and then it ran flawless on the third. Only thing I didn't expect is that those mags make it impossible to use a bag - they are too tall.

Here's my target with the third 110 round mag - I did this both standing and sitting, free holding the gun w/o props or bipod. I need to get my sight down some more, as it was shooting low. But this is all 110 rounds:

http://i459.photobucket.com/albums/qq314/Zedbra/MIsc/Private/2014-06-19183119_zpsd0c8b780.jpg (http://s459.photobucket.com/user/Zedbra/media/MIsc/Private/2014-06-19183119_zpsd0c8b780.jpg.html)

So after about 500 rounds through the 10/22 I decided to go over to the long range and test out that Parker-Hale 1200C 7mm MAG I was given. Our range requires you bring your own targets and stands, and I didn't feel like waiting for the green light to set up in the rain, so I decided just to burst a few rounds in the prone to see how I handle the punch.

There was only myself and then a group of 10 people there doing some kind of biathlon training class with their expensive little rim fire guns that make almost no sound. Well, I let off my first round and it thunders the whole range and echoes off the hills here in Squamish. The entire group ran out of the range as fast as they could. I noticed what happened, and went outside to ask why they left? Well, they weren't wearing any ear protection (though they are supposed to at our range) and so they were now putting in ear plugs.

That made me chuckle a little, told them I would make it quick anyways because at $3 a bullet and no target, I just want to squeeze about 6 shots out today.

[Hondaracer]

7mm is pure thunder, it is a Cannon.

I'll never shoot anything but 7mm hunting

[supremematt85]

So I guess there isn't enough interest for a revscene gun meet eh?

[Zedbra]

^ I could be into that, sure. Where?

[320icar]

So I guess there isn't enough interest for a revscene gun meet eh?

im absolutely interested, but have no firearms and am trying to schedule my PAL course. damn silvercore doesn't do any on the days i have off or can get off. id join just for the absorption of knowledge and information.

[roastpuff]

Zedbra, that 10/22 looks interesting. Do you mind if I ask how much it cost?

And that 7mm looks like an incredible gun! If you want to go hunting, come out to where I am now. Lots of moose, deer, bear around for the shooting. :D

No I don't mind - it's easy enough info for anyone to find:
10/22 Destroyer w/ATI folding stock and BC 25 mag = $499.00
Bushnell 1-4.5 x 32 scope = $84.00
Rings = $30.00
GSG Mag = $98.00

Then I bought a bunch of other odds and ends I needed. Walked out $1200 lighter. Italian Sporting Goods mounted the scope for free (normally charge $40), and I got 5-10% off the accessories because I am a BCWF member. Overall, I liked dealing with Carlo there. Went back this morning, bought more ammo and a bipod, plus a few other things and that was $425. Fun little sport - it likes to play with my wallet

I will be joining a couple of hunters this year that always travels up to the Cariboo - but they usually go just northwest of Prince George.

Ugh, that's expensive for just the gun. :eek: Is it because of the stock and tactical style furniture? Is there anything special about the action or barrel to make it that expensive?

They're probably hunting in the Fraser Lake/Fort St James/Vanderhoof area, there's a lot of that going around there.

[originalhypa]

Ugh, that's expensive for just the gun.

$499 isn't a bad price for that gun.
The standard 10/22 ranges anywhere from $299-$349, if you can find them in stock. I had to wait 6 weeks for mine to come in. Tacticool stocks are $100-$180, then you have the 16" barrel and muzzle break included. All said and done, it's pretty much where a tacticool 10/22 should be, all without having to bed the receiver in the stock yourself because Ruger already did it.

Honestly, with what I've spent on my 10/22, I should have gone with one of the Tac Sol prebuilt guns. I think the only stock part left on mine is the receiver housing. But it's so much fun.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/hypasteve/AA535394-F9AB-421A-984F-2B9354F269A2_zpsuqgeys1x.jpg


What are people using for targets out there?
Here's my setup.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/hypasteve/E5C7F681-E9DB-41BE-AF7D-1764EE08760F_zps5uwib2eg.jpg

The tree is for .22 plinking, while the gong is AR500 steel and can be used with .22 all the way up to 50 cal. I use 5.56 and .223 on it, along with the odd 12 guage slug. Those hit really hard though.......

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/hypasteve/4F92CD32-D67F-40A8-A2F4-B9E011F90C8B_zpsb4w9isln.jpg

Time to make some repairs.
:concentrate:

[Zedbra]

^ I thought the same way about the pricing. The stock is $129-$149 aftermarket but this one is stamped by Ruger, already fir, short barrel with muzzle break - the price seemed right. I was looking at another 10/22 with a laser and it was $429 and a Takedown was similar in price, but thought this one was nice and light, would do for blasting fast rounds and my kids will love it when they are old enough (also part of the light decision). Overall, I thought longer term and why not?

I am needing to find collapsing target frames that I can take to my range. They supply nothing at our range and you have to take in and take out everything. Also, we can't use metal targets (but can use metal target frames). What shops might sell frames that are 6' tall, will hold a large paper target?

[SolidPenguin]

Where can you get those AR500 targets and stands locally?

About how much do they run?

[320icar]

couldn't you make your own with pvc or similar? would take two seconds to set up and should be somewhat sturdy, as long as your target hangs with steel wire. stress from impact onto the target shouldn't traslate onto the frame itself.

[SolidPenguin]

I could, but Im not as interested in the stand as I am the AR500 target. Just rather pick one up locally for decent price than having to ship a heavy plate.

[Zedbra]

couldn't you make your own with pvc or similar? would take two seconds to set up and should be somewhat sturdy, as long as your target hangs with steel wire. stress from impact onto the target shouldn't traslate onto the frame itself.

A couple old timers at the range tonight gave me some good ideas how to build wood ones that easily collapse and will fit in the back seat of my Jetta.

[incubus]

you'd be surprised how much money people put into a ruger 10/22 haha

found a video of the troy and archangel kit really nice but almost cost as much as the gun

I guess so... Better start saving up. :concentrate:

Oh! I dropped by my local gun/hunting store today, and I tried out a Savage Mark II - not sure which version it was. But that's one nice .22! The Mossberg feels fine without the cheesy 25-round mag - the mag rattles in the plastic "AR"-style housing and feels super cheap/plasticy. But it feels light and nowhere near as solid as the Ruger 10/22 or the Savage Mark II they had there. There was also a Marlin XT-22R and that was one nice gun... smexy with the stainless barrel.

[incubus]

its nothing really like a ar, maybe it looks like one?

heres a good video, my friends 715t always jammed

I learned that there is a ton of force acting on the target and frame when it's hit with a round. I've had pieces of FMJ embedded in the steel legs, and shredded the airplane spec wire with flak. PVC wouldn't last very long seeing as my steel legs are taking a beating.

Imho, use steel legs and chain for the AR500 target. Or snag one of those self healing targets from International. They're sexy, and for $150 they're around the same price as mine cost.



That plinking tree is a great idea originalhypa, is that a custom build too then?

Thanks man!
I grabbed this from Canadian Tire last year. Probably the best $79 I've spent (other than ammo :D). It's only good for rimfire, but it's a lot of fun for the 10/22, and the 1911-22.

yeah you can buy that target at International and there's a sale next week saw it up on cgn

So rad!!!

its nothing really like a ar, maybe it looks like one?

heres a good video, my friends 715t always jammed

ugh, the 715T.
It looks cool, but once you strip off all the plastic you see that it's nothing more than a cheap stamped receiver, barrel, and trigger. Even the trigger set is cheaply made. The buffer falls out of place while shooting, causing FTE and FTF issues. It's a toy at best.

That said, I spent almost 2 hours on my dad's 715T and it works like a charm now. I filed and polished the sear and trigger set, and made some fine adjustments to the feed ramp. Still, it took 2 hours to make this gun work. Spend the same time on a 10/22, and it will plink at 100 yards all day long.




Now where's my 9mm registration?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Stupid soft waiting period..... I want to shoot this f'king thing!

[incubus]

ugh looks like I'm heading up to poco tomorrow night.

I'm playing hockey tonight, or else I'd head out too. I'm thinking that tomorrow I'll get my buddy out. I owe him a shooting day for his past b'day that I missed.

[T4RAWR]

S&B is one of the most underrated ammunition available. I find the quality to be spot on with the price I pay for it.

i'd be interested in a 1000 round case of .44 magnum 240gr JSP S&B if the price was right :fullofwin:

[Zedbra]

Another day of spending. I hit both Italian Sporting and International to check out their sales. Picked up a variety of goods, including an SKS, some ammo, another scope, and other goods. Going to go and clean the SKS now

[SolidPenguin]

finished building up my AR, and just picked up a new project. The Bushmaster ACR, non-res to be project.

I will be heading up to PCDHFC this friday morning/early afternoon to sight in some new optics. if anyone else is heading up, give me a shout.

Cleaning out an SKS is just so much fun that I cannot put into words.

Nice incubus!
I'd really like to grab an AR. Hopefully if all goes well, they'll become unrestricted in the fall. Then the real fun can begin!

Until then, plinking at 130 yards with the T97 and open sights.

I can't hit shit on COD-Ghosts with iron sights, but for realz is a different story.

[320icar]

you have a t97? shit i just started saving up some change to try and get one. how do you lie it so far?

[originalhypa]

I really like it. The ergos are good, and once you learn to make left handed mag changes it becomes a fun NR toy. 10 round LAR mags are a good time with Norinco surplus ammo.

I'm about 500 rounds through it now, and I'm thinking it's time for the flat top upper and an eotech. Or a vortex. We'll see what the budget has to say about that.
:D

[Brianrietta]

Got a new pair of Surefire EP4 ear protectors in the mail today. Wearing them with the stoppers out allows for near normal conversation. Pretty impressive and I like the casual look. Big step up for me over bulk orange foamies with my overears on top for everyday. I think for something really loud I'd still use the foam + overears and of course while shooting I'll use my overears over these but for just kicking around while people are shooting in the vicinity just these should be fine.

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x108/Brianrieta/sfep4_zps8f368972.jpg

Red for the right ear, clear for the left. Great fit (my right ear canal tends to expel foamies). Allows low level sounds to be heard. What's not to like?

Blowing some rounds up past Whistler - this is a pic of a pic my friend took.

After a good cleaning, looks alright for a 1952 rifle that has been abused. It is so easy to strip, clean, and assemble this rifle.

Made in Canada, 1974 under licence from Mossberg - 400G 12ga. Has had thousands of rounds down the barrel and I'm just getting started with it.

[originalhypa]

My sks doesn't see a lot of action anymore. The 7.62 is a great round. It has a ton of power and is a pretty cheap round to shoot. I can see why guys tacticool them. It's heavy, rough, and not quite as cool as some of the other toys. If you can only bring 5 fund to the range, what will you bring?

Mine will stay stock with the crude iron sights, or maybe a vintage optic. Nothing built after 1954 to keep her period original. It's fun too shoot the old stuff, plus it helps one appreciate how far firearms have come.
:cool:

I was at the LGS today, and aside from petting their cute little dogs (and blowing bank on ammo), I checked out a Sig ar. I can't find a picture online that shows how cool it is, but yeah. Very cool, indeed. I really hope they make them unrestricted soon.

[Zedbra]

^ I'm treating my SKS as a fun and cheap plinker, just a little bigger than a .22 plinker. My goal is to get a lever action or two (had one as a kid) - so the iron sights work on the SKS is good practice. I won't be modifying it in anyway, I like it roughed up the way it is. I figure my kids will like shooting it when they get a little older. For $159 bucks, why not chuck one in the safe?

[originalhypa]

Exactly man!
There are tone of guns available for not a lot of money that offer the fun factor. While I don't completely trust their materials yet, Kel Tec has some sick offerings.

Consider this pic an homage to your shooting pics.

the whole ar thing is rumor mill hopefully it goes through and higher cap mags, but i wouldnt hold my breathe haha I'm happy with the pcv beowolfe mags

if you were in the shop the sig may have been m400 or 516 7.5 sbr and there was a sweet sig 716 that came in ar10/.308 :fuckyea:

Yup, that was me.
Those damn dogs are just so sickly cute. It's a contrast to the manly gun shop atmosphere.
:lol:

I'm going to start reloading the 223/5.56. I'm getting tired of $.50/round, while the Norinco stuff is about $.38/round. It's dirty though, totally different than shooting the AE or S&B.

I'm an S&B 9mm whore. I just love that stuff. 124 grain packs a nice punch, and it always shoots dead straight. Even when I'm not having an accurate day.


the whole ar thing is rumor mill hopefully it goes through and higher cap mags, but i wouldnt hold my breathe haha I'm happy with the pcv beowolfe mags

Those are the best way to spend $100 after tax, outside of tannerite targets. But the tree won't blow up.

Just don't shoot it with anything larger than a rimfire. I had to spend hours filing down holes in my plates after someone shot it with a .224

Very cool beard action!

Really though, that noob tube is awesome. I'd love to grab one just for the wall.

And the minigun?

damn.........

[incubus]

haha thought so next time ill say something. Sig516 sbr 7 is a little beast but i dont think id go shorter than 10.3 imo but its all personal preference

yeah i love the s&b 9mm, i think ive always shot 124g not unless im being cheap and shooting barnaul. I have some 147g lawman 9mm tmj its a great round loaded like a +p

im waiting for more norninco tins dont feel like buying american eagle its not like paper can tell the difference haha

worse comes to worse im slowly stocking up on hornady steel match 26$ or so for 50 rounds hp match ammo cant complain

[originalhypa]

147 grain would be awesome in a Jericho. The beauty of the IWI is that it's built to be a 45 cal. So in 9mm format it has a lot of steel to keep the bang inside. Now imagine a 750 grain 50 cal shot. There won't be much shoulder left.
:lol

[incubus]

yeah birdshot/ target load, case of 250 rounds goes for 70 or so

28g 7 1/2 shot 2 3/4 rounds - they let rookies use 8 shot, but I figure if I can't hit it with 7.5, then 8 won't help much

Anyways, I want to do this myself, so sending it out is not going to happen. The gun is stripped, sanded, stained, and I removed all the old bluing already. Regular vinegar does wonders. What would happen if I just polished the barrel? Going to go to CGN and read about that option. I also wouldn't mind simply polishing the aluminium receiver, not sure how that would work out and how well it would look over time.

Here is a teaser of work in progress - lots more work to go.

idk just relaying what i was told

looks like a fun project hope it turns out well

[Zedbra]

So far, so good. Been chipping away at this slowly but surely. Painted the receiver, ejector, screws, and mag tube the other day.

http://i459.photobucket.com/albums/qq314/Zedbra/MIsc/Private/2014-07-13160841_zps732d548c.jpg (http://s459.photobucket.com/user/Zedbra/media/MIsc/Private/2014-07-13160841_zps732d548c.jpg.html)

Today I blued the barrel - that was a fun process and it turned out great. I just used Outers bluing from CT and took my time, did several coats and I'm quite satisfied with how well it turned out. No pics yet, I'm letting it cure for a few days.

Also managed to polish the trigger assembly, wax the buttstock, and then I sanded down the stock and pump. The natural wood is very light so I wasn't sure if I should stain it before adding Tru-oil.

http://i459.photobucket.com/albums/qq314/Zedbra/MIsc/Private/2014-07-14192302_zps1e42903f.jpg (http://s459.photobucket.com/user/Zedbra/media/MIsc/Private/2014-07-14192302_zps1e42903f.jpg.html)

So I wanted to see if the Tru-oil would darken it up, and added a first coat and let it dry. It didn't darken much at all.

http://i459.photobucket.com/albums/qq314/Zedbra/MIsc/Private/2014-07-14194300_zpsca6fd59c.jpg (http://s459.photobucket.com/user/Zedbra/media/MIsc/Private/2014-07-14194300_zpsca6fd59c.jpg.html)

So when that was dry enough to sand, I added a thin layer of black stain and it is now going the direction I envisioned.

http://i459.photobucket.com/albums/qq314/Zedbra/MIsc/Private/2014-07-14213555_zps3335ec15.jpg (http://s459.photobucket.com/user/Zedbra/media/MIsc/Private/2014-07-14213555_zps3335ec15.jpg.html)

I'm going to sand out the grooves in the black stain, sand it again and I'll probably need to do a second or third coat of black before I can then start back with the Tru-oil. Overall, it's been a great project to do during this nice little heat wave - I hang in my gazebo and stay outta the sun. It's been fun learning how to do all these processes. I'm probably going to need to watch a video to show me how to put it all back together, cuz as time goes by so does my memory.

[originalhypa]

I see where you're going with the finish now. That looks cool!

FYI for those that work daytime during the week. Pcdhfc has changed their times to summer hours now. They open until 9pm Tuesdays and Thursdays now. Anytime during the evenings are probably the beat times to go. There's almost always a few open lanes whenever I go on those days.

How did you like them so far Brianrietta? thinking of getting the ep3 and wearing my electronic ear muffs over

Like em! Pretty comfortable and stay put, no backing out of my canal like I'm used to.

These worth it at 50 bucks?

yup that's what I use and listen to my ipod at the sametime, tthinking of getting those surefire as a back up, I'm always using the foam disposable ones.

[Zedbra]

Well, after many new 'firsts' when trying to finish this gun, I finally have it all back together. I ended up with about 8 coats of Tru-oil on the pump and about 10 on the stock. The last few coats on the stock it started to get a lot of crystals in it (the oil will do this), and I didn't want to keep sanding - so I hit it with my bench polisher and that was a mistake - took off layers and I needed to reoil some more.

Anyways, I did figure a way to polish it eventually with my 7" orbital on low, though I did take of some staining near the buttstock. Anyways, I like how it turned out but next time I will try a different stain and oil process. Also, I will polish the barrel better before bluing - and perhaps do a few more coats. Perhaps tomorrow I can get it out and pump a few rounds down the barrel.

Somewhat random question here...

Does anyone know where I can get some .50 cal ammo cans for cheap?

Surplus stores are killing it with $30 each.

[T4RAWR]

I remember buying one 10 years ago at westley's military surplus for 12 bucks.

Maybe princess auto?

[incubus]

looking good zed

there were some in the shop i believe they went for 20$ or so i will keep my eyes open for you

i kinda new the whole non restricted ar thing was too good to be true and no capacity magazine. It was just rumor mill or someone trolling but its a small step in the right direction

My Thoughts - Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act 2014 - YouTube

the limited run of glocks, with factory barrels are really nice. A company used to bring g19 in with aftermarket lone wolf barrels and sell them for almost a 1000$, im not paying 1000 for a glock :heckno:

stock barrels on g19/g23 were too short and were prohib so having a factory tb was nice too bad the g19 are sold out but theres some g23(40cal) and g17L(long slide) left .

If anyone is in the market for a pistol Id recommend tracking down a g19 you could always flip it considering it was a limited run as they say.

My new fore grip came in the mail today. It has a green laser that you can zero, plus a flashlight with a strobe option. I really liked how it feels in my hands shooting now, as my 10/22 is kind of heavy and it was awkward to hold while standing with the 110 round drum on it.

pellet pistols/rifles are a great way to practice while being SUPER cheap.

I have never been so tempted to go for the $375 SKS deal @ lever arms


Ahhhh .. and I found a guy selling the stock I want on canadiangunnuts for $120 .. Decisions, decisions

[Jas29]

pellet pistols/rifles are a great way to practice while being SUPER cheap.

It was very cheap the gun is on sale right now it's 40% off

Having some trouble dialing in the sights though

[Zedbra]

BB guns are never all that accurate, depending on the BB quality. I use biodegradeable BBs as I shoot across my stream and one goes straight, another right, the next left. Just the way it is

[Zedbra]

So I quite enjoy blasting rounds through the SKS and it has me looking at other Milsurp guns. I have been eyeing up a Nagant, a K31, and also the SVT 40. Has anyone owned either of these or shot any of them?

[Jas29]

BB guns are never all that accurate, depending on the BB quality. I use biodegradeable BBs as I shoot across my stream and one goes straight, another right, the next left. Just the way it is

I'm shooting pellets out of it I thought it would be pretty accurate.

[incubus]

we've had a couple swiss k31 come in and great condition nothing but great things apparently really accurate in most peoples hands

i myself am very curious about a mosin also

I was at poco towards the end of the day yesterday wasnt too busy but i can tell my groupings suffered with the lack of trigger time lately

hope everyone is enjoying the sun and long weekend

Man, you need an SKS in the safe. They're cheap and plentiful, they shoot a pretty serious round in terms of size and velocity, and they're historic as hell.

I have one with a BC Tactical pickatinny rail and red dot, but I took it off. The gun deserves to be left stock and shot in it's unadulterated form. Not that I would judge anyone who tacticools out their SKS. But mine will be kept stock, and shot often with the bayonet out.

:D

Isn't that the truth.
Without constant practice my shot is way off. I used to target plink 10 shots at 100 yards, within about 8 seconds. Now I'm lucky if I hit all 10 targets in twice that time.
:lol

a friend came from overseas and its one of the things he would like to do.

[originalhypa]

DVC in Coquitlam is your best bet. They're noob friendly and have a great selection of shooters for you to try.

Other than that you'll need a friend with their PAL and access to a range. Or bush shoot, but that's going to be even harder to arrange.

might wanna get on those first before you go shopping if you plan to buy restricted.

well, I went for a long drive to clear my thoughts today, ended up at Wholesale in Langley and I brought home a really nice Swiss K31 and 400 rounds. I've heard these things are excellent shooters and you can also reload with conventional 308 brass. Won't get to the range for a few days to try it out, though.

But they seem to be coming up every week now. Are you on Canadiangunnutz? It's a douchebag site, full of shithead rednecks, but every once in a while you find a thread that is full of great info.

The 1911 chassis is sweet. I have a Sig Sauer 1911-22 that feels awesome. I wish I had one in a bigger bore though.

Bah!
e-shopping is one of the best things you can do while waiting for the paperwork. My brother has been going back and forth on an AR or the short Kriss Vector for weeks. The minute his paperwork arrives, he'll have a decision made. Then the real waiting begins.....

My range is closed because of the Squamish Music Festival - so no test firing for me for a bit.

Is there anyone locally that does Cerakote? I have a few projects that I want to start.

[Vale46Rossi]

Got my pal, and pulled the trigger on a gun today :) PUN INTENDED!


http://i.imgur.com/qoMvkp2.jpg

[T4RAWR]

nice choice.

my favorite gun has to be the 1911. it just "feels" so right in the hand lol.

you should check out the cz 75's if you like the feel of the 1911.

[Zedbra]

Well, I went for a long drive the other day to clear my thoughts and low and behold - I ended up at a nice gun shop. I like functional Milsurps, and had been toying the idea of picking up a Swiss K31. Well, they had some at this shop (they are getting harder to find) and so I walked out of there with a decent walnut stock K31 rifle and 400 rounds of 7.5x55. I love the straight-pull Mauser bolt and apparently these are tack-drivers even with dioptic sights. As mentioned, I got this at Wholesale in Langley and they have about 60 more in stock.

I haven't been able to get to the range because it is temporarily closed here in town due to a 3 day rock festival (Eminem is playing tonight) - but I have had time to go over the rifle and been considering how I am going to refurbish it to my liking. It is 70 years old, used by the military (whatever that consists of in Switzerland - at least you know it hasn't killed anyone) and it is showing. I'm definitely going to be removing the stock, stripping it, bleaching it, steaming out the dents that I can, and then either staining it or perhaps I will try some Cerakote. The metal will more than likely get Cerakoted - not sure if I will stay with black or go with a stainless look.

I have a bayonet and a clip-on Optics mount coming in the mail for the rifle. Mounting regular optics isn't that easy as it is a top-eject, so the scope will be slightly mounted to the side. I may add a muzzle break, depending on the kick.

I have also volunteered my time to help a good friend of mine restore a couple of his guns. He had a flood in his basement and then simply brought his guns upstairs. Well, they all have some slight surface rust now and seeing as how he is the Godfather to my children, and he lets me use his shop to work on my car for free, it was the least I could do to offer to restore a few items for him.

So I have a Winchester Defender with pistol grip that has some rusting on the barrel and a little on the mag tube that I am going to strip, clean and Cerakote. I'm not sure if I want to stay with black grips and an aluminum receiver/barrels or black receiver and dark red red grips - I will think about that a bit more. I am going to add an ATI folding pistol grip, possibly a Magpul front grip (I like their looks, though the ribbed stock is nice too), possibly a heat shield if I can find one, and I have been half considering a front pistol grip pump pull - though I cannot find many options up here and have not found anyone that has any feedback on them. Anyone tried one?

Also, he gave me an older Savage 24 O/U with .22LR on top and a .410 below. Even though there is rust and the barrels were dirty, I took it to the range to see how she shot and it was a fun little gun - something I have been considering buying for my wife. You can't feel anything when you shoot the .22, and there is very minimal kick on the .410 - this is an excellent gun for youths/beginners.

Anyways, this gun is certainly in need of some TLC. All the original bluing is showing rust through it on the original metal, there is rust inside the receiver and the cheap wood stock is banged up pretty good. I know I am going to sand, steam, and then Cerakote the stock Smith and Wesson Red and then I may go with either a traditional bluing colour or stainless look for the barrels and receiver. I'm going to think about that for a bit.

[Zedbra]

would love to try out that swiss k31 at somepoint

Me first on this one! Once I get it set-up and shooting so sweet it inspires a new Blues song, then I'll open that offer to you.

There is a 70 year old guy at my range that uses a K31 with a dioptic set-up and he punches 2" groupings at 250 yards. Not bad for a 70 year old rifle *and a 70 year old eye). To activate the safety, you pull the loop and rotate it 90 degrees - that also locks the bolt. Designed so you can do it while wearing gloves - oh those Swiss.

Yeah I ended up going italian sporting goods, $20 later they had the pin removed and mounted the gas chamber into the new housing :fullofwin:

I can see why people bitch about surplus SKS' taking forever to clean -- it took me and a friend half a day with a steam cleaner to completely get all the nasty grease off, and I didn't even bother cleaning the stock -- just put the new tapco one on there

Just finished cleaning and lubing it and it's ready for the range. Next up is bayonet mount bipod, front foregrip, rubber recoil buffer, and a sight -- can't decide whether to go red-dot or red-dot with zoom :fullofwin: must say, this hobby is addicting

A can of Crud Buster (or brake cleaner) and the SKS would have been clean in 30 minutes. At least, mine was. I'm curious to see how it turns out for you.

I got my K31 to the range today and that rifle packs a punch. It felt about the same as my 7mm MAG (the 7mm has a recoil pad). I wasn't able to get the sites to my liking, I kept shooting high but after 30 rounds through it and 20 though my 7mm, I decided to give my shoulder a rest. My scope side-mount came in the mail today, so I will try a scope on it and see if I can find the sweet spot afterwards through the irons.

[BrRsn]

The steamer made things easier, I went pretty slow cleaning it out really well because I'm anal. I was just happy I didn't have to use a rag to get all that crap off

Quick question, I see red dot sights on amazon.com for $50-$70 that compare with ones being sold locally for $160+.
I looked up the laws, it seems that US customs won't allow you to export sights, but it says nothing about how Canada handles it. Some posts suggest you can bring them back, no problem -- anyone have experience with it? I'd be ordering it to PR, picking it up, and physically bringing it across the border on my person (and declaring it, obv) -- I would avoid US customs so the question is how does canadian customs handle this

Quick question, I see red dot sights on amazon.com for $50-$70 that compare with ones being sold locally for $160+.
I looked up the laws, it seems that US customs won't allow you to export sights, but it says nothing about how Canada handles it. Some posts suggest you can bring them back, no problem -- anyone have experience with it? I'd be ordering it to PR, picking it up, and physically bringing it across the border on my person (and declaring it, obv) -- I would avoid US customs so the question is how does canadian customs handle this

I would personally avoid it. Not worth the risk to save a few bucks. The canadian border guards could care less if you bring in gun parts/accessories. Of course they will tax you accordingly. Like you said, it is the american side you need to worry about. The US takes their gun laws very seriously. Sat you pick up across the border and get caught, you can be arrested for "smuggling arms." I pick up things from the US quite often, and I'd say about 2 times a year, I will have a couple of US border guards come up to my car at the borde line up back into Canada to ask if I am carrying any gun parts back.

If you do your research, you can find quite a few alternative options. One is through brownells . com. Brownells are able to export many different types of gun parts into Canada legally as long as the manufacturer has proper export license and the order is under $500. In my experience, many big name companies will have the proper licenses. For anything over $500, you can still make the order as long as your fill out the required paperwork for export. I've done this a couple of times and can say this process is surprisingly pretty quick and simple. There is a whole tutorial on CGN for people who want to learn how to do this.

Legally you need an export permit for it to leave the states, some US sellers have it so they can ship to Canada but I think it's a hassle to get so very few of them bother. Canadian customs won't care but if US customs get wind of it you might be in for a bad day.

Posted this earlier in the thread but essentially what was said by those above is correct. Not worth the potential trouble.

Congrats on the SKS btw.
Was the ammo it came with corrosive?

Canadian CFO says its fine to import into Canada...
Importing isn't the hard part.

It's a whole different ball game exporting parts/accessories out of the US under their export laws (Department of State) and things controlled by ITAR
Some things include:
-ammunition
-some scopes
-barrels/triggers(basic firearm parts)

Things not included off the top of my head:
-reloading equipment(presses, etc.)
-I believe grips might be okay as well

Don't know if people have experienced it but sometimes coming north there is a checkpoint of US CBP officers, they are essentially looking for undeclared currency, firearms being exported without the proper documentation.
With all that being said, I know people who bring through ammunition, scopes, 10 round magazines, stocks, etc. but one day when they hit that roadblock, they will regret it.

^To add to that, here is an extended list (by no means complete). Things you can bring back from America legally:

-reloading equipment (not consumables)
-targets
-cleaning kits
-carry cases/bags
-slings
-safes/lockers/trigger locks

Things that are illegal to export from America without permits:
-firearms and internal parts, including most parts that attach to a firearm
-mounts for optics, lights, slings
-optics
-magazines and magazine parts
-ammunition, including reloading components to make ammunition

If a US Federal agency catches you with any of those items, you could be imprisoned/fined and refused future entry into America.

[underscore]

Also correct me if I'm wrong but IIRC it's not quite all scopes/sights that aren't allowed to be exported, there might be some exception for non-zoom stuff but I'm not sure, best to check the US export info for the exact details on that.

[Zedbra]

You're just best not to mess around with the US police states - they just arrested another Canadian from Langley for selling gun parts. Buy Canadian and support our vendors up here trying to make a buck.

Well, I have wanted a 30-30 lever for as long time - my dad always said you don't have a collection unless you have one. I was at the range last night and there was no one else there for a couple hours, right up until I decided it was time to leave and I was about to turn the range green (meaning no firing), a fellow comes in and wanted to simply put 8 rounds down a new shotgun he bought.

I noticed his shotgun was a new 20g SX3 and it was one I almost bought for my wife but have decided on something else. He said it was for his wife but she didn't know yet, and that he has to sell one of his guns to bring this one into the house. I told him I couldn't help unless he had a Marlin or Winchester 30-30 lever. Annnnnnd....that is exactly what he was selling. **sigh**

He let me fire the last round down the SX3 (it is sure a light shotgun, let alone for a semi auto) and then invited me over to his place for a beer and to have a look at the Marlin. I loved it, but needed to think it over and said I would call him today. It wasn't really in my plans to add another rifle so soon, but even my wife said that it was the one rifle I have always wanted, more so since my father passed.

So, I woke up, drank a coffee, then called the fellow and arranged to come by after lunch. Here it is - a Marlin 336C with less than 100 rounds down it mounted with a Bushnell XLT 3-9 scope. I didn't like the idea of a scope at first, but this is going to be my back-up hunting rifle so I now like the idea. Also, I have several Bushnell scopes and they have never let me down yet. Can't wait to get this one to the range!

Cleaned the g17 for the first time yesterday after going through the first 1000 rounds. :hotbaby:

:( Broke my scaphoid/distal radius back in June so I haven't been able to go to the range all Summer.

if its a JR stamped marlin (ie. pre-remington takeover) hold onto that thing for dear life and never let it go!

i love lever guns, they're my favorite in terms of "bush gun" style rifles. congrats on the purchase :D

[Hondaracer]

Out in the bush at the cabin this weekend, felt good to fire some rounds off and a few friends who'd never really shot any real guns before got to try em out

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/sniperslayer/EA91215E-756B-416A-ACFC-D867F4738529_zpsj30wkfev.jpg (http://s4.photobucket.com/user/sniperslayer/media/EA91215E-756B-416A-ACFC-D867F4738529_zpsj30wkfev.jpg.html)

Hadn't shot my 7mm in probably two years, first shot standing up hit a balloon at 250 feet :)

[stewie]

has anyone ever sent a rifle in the mail via ups or fed ex???

had some boo-boo's on a non restricted rifle(safety broke off inside the firing assembly...but...the firing assembly has been tightened with loctite from their factory so badly that I've destroyed 3 wrenches on attempting to remove them and thus warping the head of the screws) and since its under warranty, the company just said mail it in to them and they'll take care of it.

any idea how im sending it? in a hard rifle case? or pre wrapped up in a box and drop it off at the ups/fed ex place?

never had to send a gun in before so this will be a learning experience for me hah.

[Hondaracer]

I believe when my 7mm came it was in a cardboard box and then bubble wrapped inside

[BrRsn]

Hondaracer, sweet looking SKS. What kind of sight do you have on the front? Any problems with it shifting when you take off the gas tube to clean the gun?

Finally got a chance to shoot my SKS -- put about 200 rounds through it :fullofwin: ... iron sights :fuckthatshit:


I would be down for a RS shooters meet, maybe we could go up north somewhere and explore dat dere wilderness and then blow it up

[Zedbra]

stewie - I just got a rifle in the mail, I still have the box and wrapping - you can have it if you need it.

I am spending a lot of time with my K31 and I am really liking how it shoots. I put a Zeiss Terra 3X 4-12X42 scope on it and my grouping is getting there. I like. Also shot a beautiful Winchester 1894 in 44 MAG that I bought with the intentions of giving it to my friend....after shooting it, though.....I kinda want one. lol

[Zedbra]

Time to add some pics on this page. Impressed with the K31's open sights grouping, I decided to order the SwissProducts scope-mount and then added a Zeiss Terra 3X 4-12x42 onto the rifle. This thing is just great to shoot, though my shoulder might disagree after 30+ rounds. I only shot about 20 rounds today - took about 8 rounds to sight the scope I figure.

Here is how the offset looks. The casings now hit the scope and side eject rather than popping straight up and back, landing on my neck.

And here was the final outcome from 5 rounds @ 75 yards. The first shot was the one to the far left. Couple clicks on the scope put me a little over right, but good enough for my liking for now.

I'm not sure if it was already posted on here, but apparently people like to stash stuff behind the plate on old guns. Might be worth taking a peak if you've got it on the bench already.

I had bought a motion detecting LED light at Lee Valley a long time ago to use for my kids, but my house never really gets dark, so I decided to mount it in one of my gun safes. It works great to see the top shelf and all the guns in the safe (though the picture is dark) - it turns on as soon as I open the door and stays on for 60 seconds if there is movement. You can adjust the time to stay on up to 90 seconds and also the brightness of the LEDs. (I'm giving the Red Rider to my son for Xmas).

Since the safe was open, I decided to pull out my 7mm MAG and K31 and go to the range again. Managed 1 MOA at 200 yards on the 7mm MAG but was shooting low on the K31. My shoulder was/is a little soar from all the time at the range lately so I didn't want to shoot more and zero my scope on the K31.

Anyways, I had seen a target tree similar to originalhypa's at CT here in town the other day and after thinking it over I decided to go back there and buy it. It said it was $79.99 but it came up as $50.00 at the till, I asked them to check that and they did, and said that was the price. Okay. It isn't listed on their website, but here it is:

I'm taking an old TV and 10lbs of Tannerite up to my friend's house in Whistler tomorrow. Not sure if we'll have time to set it off, but I'm curious about the outcome.

[Eternal_SiR]

Very nice. What brand did you go with? I got quite a few pounds of shockwave

[Zedbra]

^ I think it's just called Tannerite. Did they ask to see your driver's licence and write your info down? I was told the Feds require this if you buy this stuff - wasn't thrilled about that bit

[Eternal_SiR]

I ordered it online when they were first available. So I'm sure they got all my info

[originalhypa]

I love the T97 with the FTU. I think it's time for me to order one, now that I have enough rounds through it to know it works well.

Also, props on the target tree, Zed. Next time I come through Squamish I'll pop into the Cdn Tire and see if they have any more in stock. For $50, I'll buy two!

[Eternal_SiR]

yeah.. the FTU makes a world of a difference.. love the fact they use AR mags and i ended up picking up 10 LAR15 mags and coupled them together

[Zedbra]

I totally forget about this thread since it moved.

Trying to get my hands on a Ruger SR1911 for a good price. Had a deal fall through for $550 because the person ended up selling to a friend.

[Zedbra]

Well, I wanted to try 150+ yard shooting with my 10/22 today but it was just too windy. So, after not hitting my new 3/8" thick metal targets at 150 yards and 200 yards, I decided to point my K31 and a few with my 30-30 at them. The 7.5x55 Swiss went right through the targets, the low shots were the 30-30 and one didn't make it through the pole, the bullet is still inside.

[Zedbra]

I found a neat 20g shotgun for cheap, thought it would also be good to teach my wife to shoot a bigger bore. It is an Ithaca 900 semi auto and the whole barrel slides back as part of the inertia system to eject the shells - it sounds like artillery when firing from all the moving metal. It has some dings and scratches but I picked it up for $240 with 100 target shells.

I had a hard time separating with it, but I gave a beautiful Winchester 94 Cherokee to my children's God Father. He already has a few different .44 MAG guns, but he always wanted a .44 Lever, so I gave him a nice one.

Passed the PAL/RPAL exam today :toot:

[Zedbra]

The wife finally had a day off on the weekend, so I decided to do a bunch of work on my guns that I have been putting off. I disassembled my takedown 12g, also disassembled my friend's Savage 24 and glued some cracks and then sanded (and sanded some more) the stock to get ready for refinishing.

After it cooled down, I decided to finally tackle my 10/22. So I tore it apart and did the auto-release mod and then I lightened the trigger as well. I thought I screwed it up but I had the spring next to the hammer in upside down - swapped that around and it works great now. Should have done these a long time ago.

I had a friend down from Whistler this morning and I convinced him to come to the trap tournament at my range today. I've only shot trap once and that was for three rounds. Anyways, I wanted to try out this 20g I picked up.

A few of the seniors there were admiring it and I picked it up and handed it to him.
He said, "Oh that's light".
I replied, "Yeah, its just a 20g".
"You know 20g is a little light for trap here"
"I don't really care, I just got the gun and I want to shoot it."

Managed 2 rounds of 15 (and one 12), placing me second twice. I heard a lot of excuses from others complaining about their scores and that it was too windy etc etc - but I was quite happy with 15 - especially seeing as how it was only my second time shooting trap and also coming from my light little 20g. :noyoudidnt:

[incubus]

great job zed, i have yet to try skeet or trap

i hate to do this but i think im going to have to sell my dd v7.

hope everyone has a good weekend and enjoys whats left of summer

[originalhypa]

Good call on the basic 10/22 mods, Zed. You can spend a fortune building up a 10/22, and it will shoot really well. But at the end of the day you'll end up with a $1500 10/22 that plinks squirrels at 300 yards. There are so many better ways to spend the budget.

i hate to do this but i think im going to have to sell my dd v7.

That's too bad, as it's a really nice firearm. Good luck with the sale. I still lust over that little Sig patrol with the 100 round barrel mag, but a V7 is a nice alternative.

Also, I'll be popping by the shop today. I'm looking for a Magpul type foregrip for my T97. My back is finally getting better, and I still haven't shot that new target I picked up back in July. What can I say, it was mountain biking season.
:D

good seeing you

those ammo cans are back in stock and some k31 and a tokarev just came in

parting ways with my v7 =c all i can hope is that it gets the range time it deserves

[Zedbra]

Good call on the basic 10/22 mods, Zed. You can spend a fortune building up a 10/22, and it will shoot really well. But at the end of the day you'll end up with a $1500 10/22 that plinks squirrels at 300 yards. There are so many better ways to spend the budget.


Yeah, I was looking at a hammer and thought - why not just file it first, buy the hammer if I screw up. Some people dump a lot into their 10/22's, I'd rather dump that into other guns. (Though I did buy another stock and will maybe, slowly, eventually, do a custom build 10/22)

I love my K31 - it has become my favourite to shoot. Do you have any in really really good shape? Mine is chewed up pretty good.

[Zedbra]

Well, I tried to hide it from the wife but it didn't turn out that way - another shotgun showed up in the mail today. Impressed with how my Ithaca long recoil shoots, I decided to look into picking up an old Breda semi-auto long recoil in 12 gauge. These shotguns were considered as extremely well engineered for their days, designed to be taken apart without tools and very well made. Mine is in excellent shape with only a couple of safe dings on the lower stock. Inners are excellent as well. Took it to the range and it shoots great - I'm liking it.

I emailed Breda to confirm the build date, but this is more than likely an early '60s production. http://www.gundigest.com/gun-collecting-firearm-collecting/gun-collecting-unique-breda-shotgun

It came with three outer barrel threaded chokes

Poor picture, but it even has a magazine lock - something you usually only see on military guns

[BrRsn]

I let my SKS sit for too long after shooting it and the bolt/firing pin is looking pretty grungy

Just curious, how do you guys get the brownish discoloration off the surface of the bolt assembly?
I scrubbed the shit out of it with a stiff nylon brush + solvents but there's still some that remains .. I have some fine steel wool but was advised not to use that on the bolt

[T4RAWR]

Get some wipeout gun cleaner foam.

Cover the bolt in that stuff and let it sit an hour. Brush, wipe, spray, repeat.

Best cleaner ive used so far.

[originalhypa]

I let my SKS sit for too long after shooting it and the bolt/firing pin is looking pretty grungy

I found that the tip of my sks barrel is the same way. I cleaned it up after shooting it last, but I guess I missed the end of the barrel. It took a little scrubbing, but it's clean now.

T4 has a good idea. I used something different, but in the same way.

he always wanted a .44 Lever, so I gave him a nice one.

That is a really cool gun. The lever action is so engaging for the shooter. Like a pump shotgun, there's a process involved in getting it ready to fire, and I love that process.


good seeing you

Right back at you, man.
:)

It's so nice to be off the pain meds, and able to walk around and talk to people again. August was a write off for me, but the trip to your store the other day was just what I needed to get back into life again.

And here's the result.

I was at Wanstalls a couple months ago, looking for some 10/22 bits. I was thinking I could buy a basic trigger kit for about $50 and fit it all in. They only had the full blown Dlask trigger kit for $300. Now, I would have bought it because it's the last piece I need to build a new 10/22 from spare parts. Problem was, it was missing a couple minor pieces to complete my parts gun. I checked into those parts, and found that it would be cheaper for me to buy a 10/22 for parts.

The 10/22 world is completely fucked. But they're a lot of fun to shoot.

[Zedbra]

^ hical sells a lot of individual 10/22 parts. All their shipping costs are $10. Firearm Accessories - 10-22 Rifle - High Caliber Services Corp (http://www.hical.ca/10-22-rifle/?sort=featured&page=1)

$300 for just a trigger set is too much in my eyes. I'd buy another K31 first. ;) And it's good you're off the meds - they serve their purpose but then themselves can become the issue

[originalhypa]

And it's good you're off the meds - they serve their purpose but then themselves can become the issue

My wife was worried about the pain killers, but I put her mind at ease. I told her that I enjoy drinking far more than taking pills, and can only do one at a time. I then cracked a bottle of JD and drank myself to sleep. Like a boss.

:D

Srsly though, getting old sucks. I won't be shooting this weekend, but instead plan on taking the boy fishing up at Nita or Alta lake.

[Zedbra]

I was itching to get out and blast some clays so I asked my boys and my International student if they wanted to try shooting - they all said yes. So up the hill we went and I got to show my sons how to shoot, I got to shoot some fast rounds through the SKS, and I got to blast some clays with my new shotgun. Win/win.

That boy in the blue looks REALLY young...

The last pic? He's turning 17. They can't own guns in Brazil, where he's from - so this was all new to him. He loved it - especially shooting trap. My youngest son is just 4 and my oldest is turning 6 - the same age I was taught to shoot.

[320icar]

No. The toddler that looks 3 years old in the 1st picture

Edit: got it. Thanks!

[originalhypa]

congrats on the T97. i love mine... once you get teh FTU its almost like its a totally different rifle

I think it's time for me to order the FTU. Even if I don't go with an optic, I had the chance to try some sick sights yesterday, and really liked them.

I was hitting the 10" gong at 100 yards with the horrible open T97 sights, so the Troy sights should be a huge upgrade.

the same age I was taught to shoot.

I remember around the age of 9, my dad would drop smoke bombs in the rat holes under the barn, and I would sit at the exit with the .410 waiting for them to come running out. We were taught young about gun safety, and it's a way of life for me now.

My kids are always invited out to shoot with me, and they're just not interested. Guns around our house aren't mysterious. They're just tools that I happen to keep triple locked up.
:)

[Eternal_SiR]

those are very nice sights you posted there. I'm jsut waiting for T97.ca to come out with the new ambi mag release. Haven't decided if i like the lowers they are making. With all that money spent, might as well buy another gun.

If your looking for a nice shotty, Dlask has a semi 12 Ga for $299. The Derya X4, comes with pistol grip and muzzle break. Runs great and an awsome bang for the buck

After making a bunch of calls I finally found one red Savage Rascal in the Lower Mainland. Went and picked it up from Reliable this morning, and then had it our to the range to "test fire" it after work. Nice simple action, smooth bolt, it nicely ejects empty casings, and the sights are surprisingly accurate.

I'll be giving this to my boy for either his Bday or Xmas, but I figured I would get the search done early. Many shops have these Rascals on back order and have had on back order for a while.

fine choice

my all-time favorite has to be my bolt action .22

get yourself a box of cb shorts and its absolutely hilarious how quiet the bastards are

mini mags anyone? I've put some aside for RS unfortunately wasn't a big shipment

[Zedbra]

Doing my RPAL course on Sunday. Should be straight forward, though I have little time with hand guns

cool should be a breeze only thing I've noticed is that some guys get caught off guard with muzzle direction because of how short it is haha

In search of a ruger gunsite scout without getting overcharged like some sellers are doin.

[320icar]

Nah, biggest thing is keeping your finger off the trigger lol. The second you pick up a handgun your finger wants to naturally fall onto the trigger. At least that's what I noticed

[BoostedBB6]

Very nice! I love the way the 226 feels and operates. Still my only one left that has survived all my safe purges

[Zedbra]

Well, I passed my Restricted course today and now I just need to send in my paperwork. On another note, I received some pics from one of the guns I had sent to CerakoteBC and it turned out awesome. I can't recommend Frank from CerakoteBC enough - he spent hours on both my guns and he is a perfectionist - so know that you are going to get your money's worth.

I had taken a few guns from a friend of mine to clean them up as he had his basement flood and then he left his guns in a humid area, so they were covered in rust and the wooden stock had the imprint pattern of the gun bag in the stain and was in rough shape.

I told him I would pay to have his guns restored (he is the Godfather to my kids and lets me use his shop to work on my car and truck) but that I got to choose how they would be done. I had an idea for his Savage 24 and below are the before and after pics. I did this with the hopes he may sell it to me for my kids and wife, which he probably will, but even if not I think it turned out even better than I imagined.

nice score.

you have no idea what a gem you have there lol. savage model 24's usually go for between $500-1000+ on the used/collectors market.

too bad it got rusted so heavily, woulda been nice to see it in its original dressing. the refinish still looks nice though, i like how it still has a flavor of the historical in the color choices

[Zedbra]

Picked up the guns from Frank today - thank you for meeting me on your lunch break. Took them to my friend and he is blown away with how nice it turned out. He won't sell it to me, but I can borrow it any time I want. I also now have pics of his Winchester Defender completed - the Graphite Black looks great. Once again, another great job from CerakoteBC!

Wow! Not only is that stock amazing, but what do you call that style of front sight? Looks fantastic

[incubus]

no problem great meeting you.

shotgun looks great, its a fiber optic/hi viz front sight

[Zedbra]

^ I listed there that the front sight is a fibre optic sight that I added. It was good meeting you, too, Ryan. Wish I had more time to talk

[originalhypa]

Zed, you're kicking it up 10 notches these days. Frank's Defender looks great, I love the FO sight.

Incubus, do you have the FO sight for the Jericho in stock?

And powder....... Where does one get powder these days?

[BoostedBB6]

nice I've always wanted to shoot a xdm. did you get the one exact same as pictured? the 2 tone xdms look great

I've never been a fan of grip safety its just a cosmetic thing and it gets covered but that's just me nit picking haha.


The XDM shoots great. I have been a Glock guy for years. I have owned over 20 of them in all sorts of flavours but I wanted to try something new. The XDM is a very nice shooting gun. For me, I find it fits better than the Glock did and that makes for a better shot.
Mine is just like pictured, 45acp, 5.25" competition barrel and slide, competition sights and all black.

The grip safety was never an issue for me. Some people switch them out for an aftermarket one that's metal to be closer to a 1911 style safety. If you want to give it a try some time just let me know when your hitting the range and I can bring it by.

[stewie]

was driving around with my dad today and we happened to pass reliable gun. he glances over at me and asks if i wanna go in and look around since he hasn't been there for years.

so we go in, i see some sks's that are beautifully polished up for 175$
couldn't resist.

beautiful rifle, not a scratch on it, stock has is nice and dark - no fading anywhere.

rifle, sling, 100rounds, it came with its own cleaning kit, bayonet looks brand new, all for 250$

[eclipseman]

Just purchased a Sig P226 Tacops...can't wait to fire it.

[stewie]

clever super target extra hard shot (http://www.brownells.com/ammunition/shotgun-ammo/mirage-super-target-shotgun-ammo-prod70058.aspx?avs|Cartridge_1=AEE_12%20Gauge)



anyone ever use these?

ive a 870 wingmaster - full choke, that was from the 70's (my dads old shotgun he gave me)

it can only take lead shot, but i cant find anywhere about the shells i posted in the link.

anyone know if its steel or lead? ive tried reading and the "extra hard shot" from what i THINK i understand is that its lead thats got a little something extra in it so its harder than regular lead shot.

anyone able to set me on the right path here? i ask because ive been given half a case and i dont want to be using them if i shouldn't

--edit--

just read every page of this thread just now

for the shotgun shells, as for half a case, its about 8 full boxes worth.

dont know if i'll get failed for this for asking, but oh well. on the very first page hondaracer asked if people could pm him if there were any places in the lower mainland to target/trap shoot out in the bush other than stave or sylvester road (soundy posted a link on page 8 saying there is a firearms discharge bylaw, but ive gone many times in the past and have had no problems, even with the rcmp suv drive right past me, and i do clean up after myself. a fan rake + a flat head shovel and bag to pick up my empty casings. i just want to play it safe.), where could i go? anyone have some hidden gem areas they could share?

[incubus]

we sell plenty of that stewie for the most part im pretty sure target load are led.

any preference on sights for your jericho? do you want night or high viz/ fiber optic? ill call up some places tue

post pictures of your new 226 :D

[T4RAWR]

might be interested in a box or two of some 3.5" slugs for my benelli supernova if you have those lying around.

also looking for some blaser bulk .22

Stewie - Myself and several others at our trap tournament are having issues with the newer Clever not wanting to extract properly in a pump or break action; its as if they changed the case somehow as I never had issues with it in the past. Gave me a good excuse to buy a semi-auto. ;)

As for giving up the goods on secret trap places - good luck. No one wants to share because we all see the Little Beirut pictures of areas that people do know about on the internet.

it would be nice to do trap, but i do more target shooting than anything :p

if i really need to, i go deeeeeeeeeep into stave lake hahaha. normally its about 19km's in where i shoot, which is about 10 minutes past sayres lake, on the left hand side of the road theres a trail that branches off and about 50 feet after that it takes a left turn and its nothing but cut down trees.

incubus - thanks again for picking out that great SKS for me. It's going to sit in the cosmo until my boys are old enough to handle it, then I can give one to each son.

Heading up to the Cariboo on Friday morning for moose and deer hunting. I'll be unplugged and hunting/camping deep in the woods for 10 days - I can't wait for some silence.

good luck zedbra!

question though since i've never hunted - if you bag yourself a moose (not sure what average size is), how long would it last a family of 4??? always wondered how long the meat would last. would it go all winter? or maybe 2-3 months max?


also, if anyone can confirm or shed some light on this for me - as i was asking about shooting spots...i was reading some other forums and ran across one on bc4x4. as i recently found out from this thread from a link that was posted, mission has a firearms discharge ban. normally i would go to stave lake, but thats still part of mission, and i know the rcmp do patrols and road side checks up there etc. but, from what they were saying was that after the 17km marker just past sayres lake, you're no longer in the district of mission but on crown land and are able to shoot (there is a massive section to the left of the road past sayres. its nothing but chopped down trees with the back ground heavily dense trees, and pointed in the opposite direction of any lake. can someone tell me if I'm reading this map right or if i am wrong, could you describe how and what i'm looking at wrong. thanks!

it depends on the moose, but the butchered weight (bone out) is roughly 30-35% of the live weight, which works out to 400-500lbs worth of meat.

on a deer, the butchered weight (bone out) is roughly 40-45% of the live weight, but the weight of the bones, hide, etc. on a moose is greater so you get a lower return.

^ I didn't get the LEH for a bull moose, so it'll be a smaller mule. Probably 150-200lbs when it's all said and done.

Oooooh - my custom stock that I ordered a long time ago for a 10/22 build finally showed up. I almost forgot about it, tbh. No time to admire it now, I'm packing up my things and heading out tomorrow - can't wait.
