What's your opinion on the sgt44? I'd like one, but probably just have it as a wall hanger

it's fun. it's a .22LR plinker.
30rnd magazine
little to no recoil, because it's on the heavier side
fairly accurate

i think the price has dropped on them since i bought mine, you can probably pick up a used one fairly cheap.

[Zedbra]

Putting the final things together for my two week hunting trip starting Sunday. The new 7mm is coming out, going to air it out. I'm very much looking forward to the silence.

Great to see more inexpensive ar15 kicking around.

It helps put people in the right direction who don't want to spend too much on a restricted rifle.

Any recommendations for an over/under around $2000?

I’ve been looking at the citori white lightning as I’ve shot a few of the higher end Browning’s now and have enjoyed them. Recently shot skeet and fucking loved it (first time in maybe 10 years) but also want a bird gun that I’m going to keep for life

Shotguns are all about fit, so if the Citori works well for you, then look no further. With O/U, the only limit is your budget

Passed my PAL+ RPAL over the weekend, just need to get a photo, mail in the paperwork and wait. Anyone has a gauge on wait times after submitting?

What do you guys recommend as a first firearm? Right now just thinking about getting practice at the range and later down the road I could sea myself getting into hunting. I’m leaning toward a S&W M&P 2.0 9mm with range kit.

[Zedbra]

You ask ten shooters what gun to buy first and you will get 20 different answers. Everyone has personal preferences, my suggestion would be to try to get out and shoot as many different guns as possible and find out what you think feels the best in your hands and budget.

The S&W you mentioned is popular due to the price tag, and if you like 9mm and semi-autos, then it is a good value. I shot a few M&P's and I never liked their trigger, I shot a Glock much better. I don't own any plastic guns by choice, I prefer metal and larger calibers, but there again is just my opinion.

I would recommend a good .22 in both handguns and rifles, though. Lots of practice time behind the trigger at the fraction of the cost of any other larger caliber.

[incubus]

my first firearm was a ar-15 my dad already had pistols and prohib.

Great choice m&ps are great price point pistols, there are good sales going on this weekend at reliable and international.

You're more than welcome to buy during the sale and pick it up when your license arrives.

I hear the wait times to be 4-6 months.

[underscore]

There's a way to get your PAL as quick as possible if you're keen to get out there, I can't remember the exact details but I can dig them up again if you like.

It depends on how busy they are with other applications so hard to say but don't expect days or even just a couple weeks. Could potentially take a couple months even.

Lol let me know if you change your mind. I'm feeling pretty flexible on price to a fellow RS.

If people are curious on reason I'm just in the process of purging stuff around the house and selling what's worth anything i.e. one of my AR's, WWE Belts etc lol

[Hondaracer]

My dad has the same gun, or a variant in year. For a Norinco it’s been a great range gun, rarely a problem. If I wasn’t saving up for that new over/under I’d seriously consider it but wife would probably kill me if I ended up with two new guns lol

Word, Norincos in terms of build quality may not be amazing but it's a fucking beast at the range in terms of a realiability imo.

[Zedbra]

Just my opinion, but if a man has his heart on a good O/U, which really should be a buy once, cry once situation, then trying to sway that buying decision to a Norinco AR is a really far stretch. I own both a nice O/U and a custom AR, and the shotgun always wins for me personally on the grin factor scale.

HondaRacer - get that big barreled beast. Let's go shooting!

[Hondaracer]

thats the plan, after shooting skeet at the langley range with my dads buddies who go all the time i'm hooked. Could really see myself getting into it

price?

[winson604]

price?

To be honest I didn't really have a price in mind, I literally came to a sudden decision that I want to sell it and i'm willing to be pretty flexible on this one. I'll just list roughly how much the stuff "was" worth new for starters. I'm not crazy enough to think I'm getting close to new price of course.

Norinco AR - $699
Magpul MOE SL Handguard - $60
Magpul MOE + Grip - $30
Magpul MOE Stock Mil Spec - $60
Magpul 30 round Pmags x 2 - $60
Unbranded Red Dot Sight - It came with the Bushmaster AR I have so I'm just going to say unbranded. It works, have had no issues with it.
Gun case - I don't remember the brand right now as i'm not home but it isn't anything fancy but legal. It's just the foam egg crate style so it was NOT pre cut which means it can fit other guns if you so choose to - $100?

About 300 rounds put through this gun so many years of life left. There is 1 aesthetic issue though. Norinco is known to be a bit off mil spec so the handguard did not fit properly onto the gun out of the box. A gun smith had to work on it to get it to fit but it doesn't fit 100% perfectly. You can tell in the pick there is a very small gap in the handguard vs the black one I have in the pic where it's a perfect fit. It doesn't however affect the gun itself, just a looks issue. I also have the original handguard, grip, and buttstock should you want to just restore it back to the default look. There's also the handle with rear sights that it came with that I took off and still have.

I'm in need of somewhere I can go to get a rifle appraised for insurance reasons. Where's a good shop to go? Last night my dad inherited an old family heirloom from a 2nd cousin of his. He's downsized and in his 70's now so he asked my dad if he'd like it. It's a used civil war rifle made in 1857 which belonged to his dads grandfather or great grandfather, I'm not sure which one it was. They used to live in the states so there's a good chance it was used in service. He offered it to me last night but I told him to hold on to it for another 20 years. It's a beautiful rifle! He's currently looking for a custom glass case he can put it on the wall.

I'll post some pics of it later. For the time being he needs to find an appraiser for it to be insured properly. Any suggestions or know anyone to go to?


Thanks!

That's a great start, for sure. Shotguns are all about how they fit you, so what is good for me, probably isn't ideal for you. I have a few cheap semi-auto shotguns that I can shoot really well and yet others can't sight it to save their lives.

Been trying to hold back the urge to buy a 9mm pistol for weeks, but I am going to a few shops today to start looking. We all know where that leads.

[roastpuff]

What kind? I've been a fan of my Glock 17, but kind of wish I got a 19 or a 48 because I have small hands. The grip is just a little too fat for me.

[Zedbra]

Was just at Reliable, I liked the CZ Shadow but I also liked the surplus Israeli Jericho 941s they have in stock. I have large hands and prefer steel bodies. My range doesn't allow rapid fire, so slow and heavy works for me. It will be my first 9mm, always stuck with 1911s in 45 or wheel guns in 357.

Yeah, I went to Italian and they have a Remington R1 Command Carry double stack 9mm, so the size of the grip was great for my hands. I already have an Enhanced R1 Command Carry and it is tight and shoots excellent, I was kind of wanting something 'different' and not plastic fantastic.

What about the surplus Beretta 92s floating around? I think Lever has some locally. They are ex-Carabinieri, and seem to be in excellent shape except the mag release is a heel release.

I've shot a few Berettas and they just really didn't do much for me. I'll have a look, but I think if I go surplus, I may go for the Jericho. Like I said - something 'different'. Come to think of it, I may have a friend that wants to sell his 92, he picked up a Sig Legion and now the Beretta is cold shouldered like an ex-wife.

[jasonc]

got mine from lever, they seem to have the better conditioned 92s. great inexpensive gun to get into shooting. i bought it because i wanted something iconic that didnt break the bank, however once you get a taste for better guns the 92s end up as a safe queen. heel release didnt matter to me as i wasnt using it for competition.

Can't go wrong with Citori man. Great gun to start. I went full retard and got a Blazer. please please please try and shoot other people's gun and get the feel on what you like... Last thing you want is to get a freaking Beretta and not have a good fit (Lot of Asians shoot Beretta cause its italian and its really really not forgiving, facial profile and shoulder length.etc...again, don't take my word, go and try it).

I couldn't go back to shooting standing targets when you start going sporting / skeet.

[Zedbra]

I picked up a nice Rizzini O/U a few years ago, with the proper stock adjustments it smashes the clays better than I could have hoped. Wasn't cheap, about $4k, but it will be my forever shotgun.

I've shot 725 sporting, Synergy, as well as a few CZ's and some shitty pumps with clays

I actually like the slim grip of the Beretta, feels very comfortable in the hand however i dont like the milling on the action nor do i like the feel of the chunky foregrip relative to that slim trigger grip. Also the action as a whole on the Beretta feels a little clunky i find compared to the brownings, at least in store

I want that forever gun and personally i dont love the look of any of the specific clay guns browning puts out because of their basic markings on the action etc. The 725 sporting is only available in 26" barrel length i beleive which is ideal for hunting but not so much for clays, but it's somthign im willing to sacrifice for that beauty action engravings lol.. vanity item i know but thats what i want

I've only done sporting clays at Vancouver gun club 3 times and skeet 3-4 times in the last 2 years but i'm hooked. My dads buddies shoot tournaments in kamloops and Vernon and once i get my own gun i'll be going out with them i think as well. Really enjoy it

[Zedbra]

26" barrels will be a disadvantage if you start shooting from the back of the field, which happens often. I would seriously consider 30" barrels. My $0.02

[Hondaracer]

Oh never mind I’m an idiot I didn’t see the drop down menu on the browning site..

There is a 28” option but that’s the biggest they sell. I think all the guns I’ve shot sporting clays with so far have been 28

found the link in French just translate it..

https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1698542/interdiction-armes-gouvernement-trudeau-polytechnique-dawson-moncton

The Trudeau government wants to act quickly to ban 9 specific types of weapons, many of which are linked to tragedies in the country, and two important categories, which will prohibit 1,500 variants of firearms, Radio-Canada learned.

Ottawa could implement the first part of the reform promised this week during the last election campaign to ban military-type assault weapons.

Radio-Canada was able to obtain the list of weapons that the Minister of Public Safety wants to ban the import, sale and transfer to Canada.

Three criteria guided the government in developing this list. First, it targets weapons with a "semi-automatic mechanism with sustained rapid-fire potential (a tactical or military design capable of accommodating a large-capacity magazine)". Then it targets weapons of modern design. Finally, the government is targeting weapons present in large volumes on the market, that is to say more than 1,000.

In detail, the “provisional list of firearms whose prohibition is recommended” specifically includes nine weapons:

Carbine M16, M4, AR-10 and AR-15 (dramas by Sandy Hook, Las Vegas and Orlando, in the United States, and that of Christchurch, in New Zealand / estimated number in circulation: 83,572)
Ruger mini-14 rifle (Polytechnique drama / estimated number in circulation: 16,859)
Swiss Arms, Classic Green model (estimated number in circulation: 1,342)
M14 rifle (Moncton drama / estimated number in circulation: 5,229)
Vz58 rifle (drama of the Quebec Mosque / estimated number in circulation: 11,593)
Cz Scorpion EVO 3 pistol rifle (estimated number circulating: 1,813)
Beretta CX4 Storm rifle (Dawson College / estimated number in circulation: 1513)
Rifle and pistol SIG Sauer SIG MCX and SIG MPX (estimated number in circulation: 1000)
Armament Robinson XCR (estimated number in circulation: 1834)
And this list also includes two categories:

Caliber more than 20 mm
Initial energy of more than 10,000 joules
Public Safety Canada based its estimate on the 2012 firearms records, which has been increased by 25% to take into account the growth in the number of firearms since that time.

By combining these 9 types of weapons and these 2 categories, the government would be to ban 1,500 variants of firearms in the country.

According to our information, the government could act this week to put in place this ban. Regulatory changes could be published in the Official Canada Gazette as early as Friday.

It is for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to make the decision on this matter.

[underscore]

From the sounds of it the SKS would make those requirements? I'm curious how tf to determine if something has an initial energy of 10kJ but judging by the 20mm caliber I'm guessing only really big stuff has that kind of output?

I'm also assuming they won't buy back any ammo which would annoy people even more.

[Tegra_Devil]

well that new BCL 102 is now useless 3 weeks later....

fire a round through a chronograph and use the muzzle velocity vs the projectile weight to calculate initial energy

Hey guys, what are the regulations for taking my non banned firearms into the bush for skeet or target shooting? Is it legal, are there regulations for doing it. Where would I find them?

you can only take non-restricted out in the bush.

there are areas that are designated as "no shooting" areas. there is a govt website that lists them i believe.

and i think in most cases you have to be outside city limits and more than 400m from a public road. i don't remember if this includes FSR's, but i imagine it does.

[Hondaracer]

Completely expected but nothing but a nightmare ordering my 725 Field from Cabelas/Bass Pro

To start, i could not enter my Bass pro gift cards on the cabelas.ca website, finally once i got through on the phone they informed me the cabelas website is not built to accept the GC's even though its the only canadian site for both stores.

So i attempt to make my purchase over the phone, this involves reading the 15 digit code, plus 4 digit pin of TWENTY FOUR gift cards i had..

finally get that done, woman takes my credit card info for the balance.

Wait 3 days, no confirmation, no email, no charge. Phone in and spend 2 hours on the phone over 2 days until i finally reach the order tracking. Give them the order number and he tells me the gun is on back order and "we might be getting 10 in the next few weeks"

So i ask.. so is my order going to be processed? do i have to resubmit it? etc.

His responses were hardly comforting and i essentially have no idea when the gun may be shipped..

[6793026]

danggggggggggggg

[blkgsr]

so if you do have one of these now prohibited guns (robinson arms xcr) can i still take it to the bush to shoot?

i know you can buy or sell them, but can i still shoot it??

[Fafine]

Nope banned means banned

Includes transport and using banned guns

"Starting today, licensed gun owners will no longer be allowed to sell, transport, import or use these sorts of weapons in this country."
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5552131

[Hondaracer]

So in typical, expected, fashion my credit card was charged by cabelas with zero follow up, no tracking number, no shipping info etc.

Canada post attempted to deliver, left the note on the door, gun left at the post office :/

So went and got it today, luckily everything worked out fine and the gun is free of damage and it’s beautiful but there’s no way I’d order a gun through them again due to all these headaches.

Pics to follow, was barely able to assemble it today as I tweaked by back

Some pics, build quality is top notch and the mechanisms and break are amazingly tightly milled very happy, cant wait to shoot it

I'm pretty excited right now, bought a Girsan mc28 pistol online for a may long weekend sale and it arrives today. It's my first restricted firearm and can't wait to get home and open up the box.

[6793026]

yeha, the 725 is legit and it'll last you forever.

As long as it doesn't fall under the canadian 20 mm bore you're good to go.

[murd0c]

So I'm pretty happy right now, I entered an online sticker draw on FB to win a CZ Shadow 2 in blue which is optics ready and I actually won it. Hopefully our CFO approves it fairly quick, I cant wait to get my hands on it and take it to a range.

My question is what optics do you think I should get for it?

[roastpuff]

Wow, congrats, that's a fine gun. I like RMRs but optics is a lot of personal preference - go to a local shop if possible to try which one works better with your eyes!

[Zedbra]

I don't own a 9mm, but I have seriously considered that Shadow 2 a few times now. Shoot the hell out of it, it is a great pistol.

[hud 91gt]

Finished my course today for restricted and unrestricted firearms. Always wanted to do it just because, but when a friend asked if I wanted to join him it was enough to seal the deal.

Just need them to approve my shady history :p

[Hondaracer]

Went and shot clays at Langley with the new gun, went 6 for 6 with the first rounds then it was like 60% the rest of the time lol

[Zedbra]

This is it, it's that time of year again. Waking up early and heading out to 7-16 for two weeks of hunting with a good group of gents. Peace and quiet for 2 weeks, completely unplugged - I look forward to it all year, every year.

[6793026]

People don't understand it's not like in the movies where u just drive and get off ur car and shoot. It takes patience, silence, persistence and lots of waiting.

You can go with a realtor and have his cell phone ringing all the time. A lot of freaking isolation. Now if you're doing fowl hunting.. totally diff story.

Where we usually go north of Kamloops has still been too warm and a friend was up there 10 days ago or so and saw almost nothing. Also have to work for opening day :(

[Zedbra]

Just got back, weather was warm at the start and then started to cool down, which got the animals moving. Came back with black bear and moose, now I get to spend the next several days cleaning gear and cutting meat.

[mr00jimbo]

Any of y'all know any legal Crown land spots? I hear Hope is good for it. I used to go up Stave Lake about 20 KM off road. I think a lot of that area got shut down. My old spot was legal from what I can interpret, but I don't want to risk arguing with some RCMP officer who may not know that (been there...).

[Zedbra]

Have you all been following how once again, there were no public respondents to the Fed's request for a company to manage their proposed gun buy-back? This is going to be a shit-show. The Fraser Institute is estimating this will cost $3B - money better spent on gang enforcement. If only people would stop doing drugs, eh.

[winson604]

Has everyone stopped buying any new firearms since the announcement to avoid risk of it suddenly also being banned? I'm still figuring out what to do with all my 556 and 223 ammo I guess I'll have to buy a Tavor or Type 97 or something, I doubt they'd buy back ammo too? Who knows, sigh.

[Zedbra]

I stopped buying new hardware a few years ago, I came to a conclusion that I have enough of what I like already. I feel for all the shops that had stock of all these guns that are now on 'the list', they took a big hit.

Now the PoPo themselves are speaking up against the OIC

don't have one yet just switched to a glock recently but haven't been really motivated to shoot after the ban tbh just glad we got to shoot some c7 last month to qualify.

Yeah, I've held off on picking up a new 9mm. Think I'll wait until Crime Minister is done playing Stalin. BUt I need to get out and shoot, my .357 is calling my name. You ever here from hypa anymore?

At this point I don't want to buy anything period in fear it'll just be banned by. In one fell swoop all but one of my guns are prohibited. All the time and money spent on the guns, cases to specifically fit those guns, red dots, new grip, list goes on I don't suppose they're going to be buying back furniture right? Probably not fuckers.

[Zedbra]

I'm always well stocked. Got my press working hard on the weekend. Pumped out almost 700 rounds of .357 and ordered another $700 of reloading supplies.

[Zedbra]

Had a good friend of mine get a heart jammer and is now in ICU at VGH, waiting to have a triple bypass on Monday. He's scared, but told me to live it up while I can - and "order that damn 9mm you've been pondering for almost a year". So I did.

First 9mm, first plastic gun, first striker fire, and first pistol with a red dot. Why not? Should be fun to shoot.

[roastpuff]

Ellwood Epps Kimber Sale (https://ellwoodepps.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?dir=asc&no_cache=true&order=price&p=1&q=Kimber&x=8&y=10#!/dir=asc&order=price&product_on_sale=3240&product_sold=3175&q=Kimber&x=8&y=10&p=1&firearm_type=1568&home=0)

So I got this from Redflagdeals, looks like Ellwood Epps is having a sale on some Kimber 1911s. It's supposed to the be demo stock of one of the Kimber reps who retired, and is clearing it out. Most have about 100 rounds through them if that, and are in excellent shape.

I am so tempted right now... Contemplating between the Aegis Pro II, Tactical Pro II and CDP Pro II, all in 9mm.

[Zedbra]

You've obviously heard the stigma about Kimber 1911's? Like - John Wick scenes were so fake because his Kimber didn't jam. I don't know if the new ones are better, but I'd look into it first. However, a quality 1911 under a grand is very tempting. I really like my Remington R1 Command Carry CT, though she is a snappy little bitch in .45; it keeps me on guard, for sure.

That being said, 1911s are fun to shoot and easy to work on, with a touch of classy nostalgia mixed in; I'll never shy someone away from buying one, no matter what calibre.

So....congrats on the new pistol! Which one did you get?

[roastpuff]

I heard about the stigma, but I'm willing to chance it. :D

Ordered a Tactical Pro II in 9mm, not sure if I should have gone with one of the other ones... too many choices! I didn't really want a two-tone gun which the other two are, so the Tactical Pro II won based on colour? Not sure if the details on the others would have been much different in any case.

Some of the Pro Tacticals they have listed are two tones in 9mm, it may vary by pistol? Either way, I think that would be the best model of them all; I'm not a fan of rounded or "bob'd" hand grip. I always liked the bushingless look - let us know how it shoots and I'd like to know how it tears down.

The mail man delivers. Might get it out to the range tomorrow - looks like it's going to be a fun one.

[roastpuff]

I think from what I've seen the two-tone Tactical Pro IIs are fairly mild - dark grey frame, black slide. Versus the other ones which are like black slide/silver frame, or black frame/silver slide.

That's a good looking kit! Is this your first striker fired pistol?

Whole lot of firsts. First: 9mm, plastic fantastic, striker fire, and red dot. So, lots to learn, which keeps the sport fun. I've read lots of good things about this pistol, so I'm looking forward to opening it up.

[Zedbra]

I managed to get to the range around 10am this morning to sight in this pistol and I had the entire range to myself until I left at noon; it was bliss.


https://i.imgur.com/aXMvbxT.jpg



Here is a pic of shots 50-100, after I had sighted in the Vortex for the first 50 rounds. First 50 were 124g, these next 50 were 115g. Had two stove pipes in these 50, and then nothing for the next 200 rounds after it broke in. So, this pistol is a shooter, as long as I do my part. Shots fired from a bag at 10 metre distance.


https://i.imgur.com/2pFALt5.jpg





The next 200 rounds I shot free hand and I found I needed to readjust the red dot for my stance; after I figured all that out, I had a good time learning to shoot this pistol. On my last mag I set up a pop can at the 30 metre backstop and I managed 4 out of 10 shots into my Coke can; this is my favourite way to recycle, by the way.



I'm happy with this purchase, I think it is going to be a heck of a lot of fun and I can afford a lot more ammo with the $$ I saved choosing this over another similar brand; the reviews seem accurate, just like this gun.

[roastpuff]

Very nice results! Nice to have a fairly empty range to yourself.

Thanks libs. you guys still planning on buying more or just going to put it on hold? Really hoping Langley is smart enough to push this to the side and say screw off.

[roastpuff]

Holding pattern - though I don't think municipalities can have a successful gun ban. I am sure that will cause some hand-waving, but I think most of this is smoke-and-mirrors to distract from the botched Covid vaccine rollout.

[Mikoyan]

I know airsofters are up in arms, c21 reclassifies 99% of the models in use as replicas, so they're all going to be prohibited.

[Zedbra]

2 days after introducing Bill C-21 where our PM said gun crimes are unacceptable, so he wants to make criminals out of law abiding gun owners, he introduces Bill C-22, which now reduces mandatory gun crime sentences, including smuggling, under the pretense of "systemic racism". Unreal. It's racist to treat criminals with punitive reactions, but mandatory to make lawful citizens criminals and confiscate their property.

Mandatory minimum sentences are being removed for a long list of offences including:

– Use of firearm in commission of offence

– Possession of restricted or prohibited weapon knowing possession is unauthorized

– Possession of loaded handgun

– Possession of weapon obtained through crime

– Weapons trafficking

– Unauthorized import/export of firearm

– Illegal discharge of a firearm with intent

– Robbery with firearm

– Extortion with firearm

[roastpuff]

So, range report. The Kimber worked fairly well, not sure if it's break-in issues but had two literal jams plus a couple of FTF double feeds and FTE stovepipes. The jams were the rounds getting stuck between the breech face and the ramp or barrel area, I'd guess - the solution was to drop the mag, re-insert the mag hard (which would then bump the bullet up), and then try to rack the slide. A couple of times the gun would be not quite in battery, and wouldn't fire. Had to tap the slide forward to re-seat it and then it fired fine. Annoying, but hopefully something that can be resolved.

Ammo used was a combination of Remington MLE 9mm 115gr FMJ, and Custom Reloading's 125gr Hi-Tek Coated 9mm, both of which have fired fine in my Glock and my friends' other 9mm guns. The jams occurred twice, once with each type of ammo - not sure if it's a mag problem or gun problem. Mags used were the stock Kimber, and 4 Mec-Gar mags I got at Reliable. Ran about 150-200 rounds through the gun, about 5-7 FTF/FTEs.

When it did shoot, it shot well! Very accurate, felt awesome in the hand, with a crisp trigger. Having my sister tag along meant that I couldn't really focus on shooting that much, as I had to keep an eye on her, but I will likely go back next week to shoot more through the gun and see how it does after the recommended 500 round break-in period.

Have to say - cleaning a 1911 is a lot more fiddly than cleaning a Glock, and I have a dent in the ceiling now. Thankfully it missed the light fixture and you don't know it's there unless you know where to look! Stupid Kimber recoil spring cap! :lol Also, might just be my impression but it feels like it gets a lot dirtier than the Glock does - maybe I didn't clean it as well as I did when I first got it?

[Zedbra]

For the first several hundred, I would be using heavier 124g bullets to get that recoil spring worked in. I had issues with 115g bullets on my Canik within the first 300 rounds as well. Pump some more through it and let things break-in. A tight fitting 1911 can take a little time to all mesh - but that's a good thing down the road.

I personally don't strip clean my pistols until after a 1000 rounds or more, there isn't a need. I do take a rag and either Ballistol or G96 with me to the range and simply wipe the barrel tip, the load ramp, and the magazines before putting back into my case to take home. Then I leave them until the round count gets up there. My revolvers I will clean the cylinder face better when I get home, but I don't ream anything down the barrel until over a 1000 rounds - there's simply no need and it prevents muzzle wear; I have seen some rifles that had minimal rounds down the tube yet the muzzle needed to be re-crowned as the owners cleaned the heck out of them after every time they took it out.

I wondered about the 1911's without the bushing as to how you pulled the slide. I came across this video, seems like a cool little tool.

https://youtu.be/jRXJqaprC5A

[roastpuff]

I'll keep using the reloads as they have the heavier 125gr bullets (these guys basically: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/e8QAa_frBTzGiXyuZI4iMMw3MuoclZMwUd2Mpd-W9oSf7gcl2FEr_1W5HTJ509LAPPMFS3TjGQE3MHjUbdKKDVvJF 6vSuEg) and go through a few more boxes to break the gun in, hopefully these are just break-in problems and they go away. I wanted to clean and inspect the gun to see if there were odd marks or anything that wasn't normal in the feed ramp/barrel area as people mentioned that could be an issue for a 9mm 1911. I found the feed ramp to be absolutely black, and caked on with carbon or residue - it took quite a few patches to see a shiny clean surface, so I figured cleaning it wouldn't hurt any, and might prevent feeding problems in the future.

The Glock I only clean after a couple of range sessions :D Once the Kimber is broken in I might do the same thing, but still getting used to owning a 1911.

The takedown tool isn't so bad once you get used to it, and in a pinch people say you can use a paperclip to do the same thing. Just have to be careful I guess. I've managed to reassemble it in the wrong orientation (tool facing down) and had to re-field-strip the gun to get it so I can get the tool out lol.

[roastpuff]

Range report!

Went back to the range and ran 6 boxes through the Kimber, roughly 300 rounds. Found that one mag wouldn't lock back consistently when empty - one of the Mec-Gar mags has a slightly different, larger/longer basepad which doesn't seem to seat quite as nicely as the other Mec-Gar mags, and is iffy as to whether the slide lock back when empty. None of the other mags had this issue so I'm assuming it's a fit issue with this particular style of base pad. Going back to Reliable to see if I can swap it for a different Mec-Gar mag with a lower profile basepad.

Had some FTEs - the casing would be partially ejected, but still in the chamber, thus causing the gun to not feed the next round as the casing would be blocking the next round from coming up to feed. I think this is an extractor tension thing? As I'm swinging by Reliable Gun anyway, I'll bring the gun to have them take a look at it as I don't have the gauges to check the tension, and I'd rather not eyeball it.

Other than that, the gun ran quite well and shot really nicely when not having FTE issues. Hopefully once the extractor is tensioned correctly it will be more reliable and not have issues!

[Zedbra]

Nice. I need to get out to the range, might go on Sunday and pump a few hundred 9mm as well.

[Hondaracer]

Do you just sausage your deer like so many others?

We did..or at least will be lol

Can’t really be bothered with steaks etc. frankly I just don’t find them that tasty.

I’ll cook up the back strap on site but what we’ve been doing for the last 10 years or so is just take the quarters come, cube up all the meat, then either bring to our butcher right away or freeze it and bring it once he’s available

Pepperoni and breakfast sausage this time around. Got around 135lb of meat off the 2 deers. It’s much easier and pleasing to give away to the people we hunt with/friends and family in sausage form lol

[Zedbra]

I just smoked some bacon wrapped Dutch eggs last week, wrapped the eggs with moose sausage I made myself. Half I spiced with garlic pepper and the other half with spicy Italian sausage. I just store the sausage in flat vacuum sealed bags, stuffing them takes forever and then all you can do with it is eat them like a regular sausage.

I can't upload a pic, guess there is a total limit, I'm at 8.64mb of pics. Don't even know how to delete whatever may be in that memory.

Okay, so I went to check and none of my pics were showing and it will not let me add one. Is this forum-wide, or just a special circumstance?

[roastpuff]

Picked up a quite unique 22LR rifle this weekend, a Mauser MS420. 1930s production, very interesting short travel bolt, and shoots like a dream for a ~90 year old gun. Has an interesting assortment of sights - blade front sight, no ramp, flip down buckhorn sights and a peep sight on the back. Plus a Weaver K4-60B on rings.

This summer has been so busy with get togethers and summer activities that I haven't gone to the range as much as I wanted. Wife did get her PAL eventually so that's one great firearms-related thing that happened!

As a last hurrah for handguns, I snagged a Jericho 941F ex-Israeli police surplus, it's still on the transfer waitlist so it'll be here eventually but looking forward to trying out the gun.

I wanted one of those Jericho's for a long time when I was considering my first 9mm, I liked the weight and low barrel design. However, I jumped right in with my Canik TP9 SFX as a first 9mm and it has been a lot of fun to shoot.

In the middle of all the Covid sh!te, I coordinated a PAL and RPAL course with my wife, son, and a bunch of friends; held it at our Masonic Lodge. My son has his Youth licence and my wife got both her Pal/RPAL, though it took 9 months for her licence to process. I finally got her to call in to see what the hold up was - turns out the CFO wanted to know how long she has been a Canadian citizen. I didn't like hearing that, as it shouldn't matter - all citizens should be treated equal. Anyways, I transferred my Colt 22 into her name as it never really fit my large mitts anyways. Not bad, eh? Wish my first pistol was a Colt. lol

Anyways - the hardware

Well, my Jericho finally arrived. It's chunky and heavy but feels so very comfortable to hold. Will take it out to the range once the other letter arrives. Finish is quite beat up so thinking about possible refinishing... and then maybe make a Spike replica. ;)

Nice to see this hobby is still alive.

I haven't gone shooting in years, but I still own my firearms.

I think last I heard, Trudeau's attempt to pass some law to restrict firearms ownership even further got struck down last second, but he/someone/something is going to try again soon?

Ever since they made 2/3 of my shit prohibited I haven't followed too closely. I think they tried to make some last second amendment to the bill to further ban more types of firearms then the hunters among many others lost their shit and finally they backed out. I don't know I haven't gone shooting in 3 years now and my ARs are just sitting there rotting away. Just get this stupid buyback going so I can get it over with. I've also been so afraid to buy anything because it might just get stolen from me too gah.

Violent crime at the highest rate in 30 years - all on the uprise in the last 8 years - since we had a Liberal government. Funny how virtue signalling that you are getting hard on guns is only aimed at law-abiding gun owners and the criminals run amock. This hurts all the population - hope it isn;t your family that is affected.

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/violent-crime-rose-again-in-2022-murder-rate-highest-in-30-years-statcan

The uptick in violent crime in 2022 was primarily driven by the rise in homicides as well as an increase in armed robbery (15 per cent) and extortion (39 per cent).

The data, released Thursday, show crimes involving the use of firearms in a threatening or violent manner in 2022 were up for the eighth consecutive year, four-per-cent higher than 2021, and are 60 per cent higher than they were 2013. Firearms crimes related to possession, storage and handling were stable last year, the statistics agency said, after several prior years of increases.

trucker / logging roads.. squamish / whistler / abbotsford

in vanocuver... 99% someone will call the cops and you're done.
and even if there is... it's pretty secretive.

2021 - 2022 It is prohibited to hunt or discharge a firearm or bow in a BC Park within 400 metres of either side of the centre line of any park road or highway except as authorized by a park officer, unless otherwise stated in this synopsis for a
specific road. A park road is a road in a park or recreation area that is designated and developed for licensed motor vehicles.

It is unlawful to discharge a firearm or
hunt within the road allowances of all
numbered highways and any two lane or
greater public road in BC that is maintained
by the Ministry of Transportation (or their
Contractors), the federal government or
another province or territory.The road
allowance extends:
( a) 15 metres on either side of the middle of
a road with less than three lanes, or
( b) 15 metres from the edge of the paved
s u rface of a highway with three lanes or
m o r e, or
( c) to the boundary of private or cultivated
land, whichever comes first.
In addition to the above universal restriction,
several major or heavily populated
routes in the province have an additional
400 m area bordering the road allowance
in which the discharge of a firearm using a
single projectile is prohibited.The discharge
of a shotgun using shot only is permitted.
These areas are listed in the section “400 m
Single Projectile Prohibited Areas”.
(page 13, No Hunting and No Shooting Areas)

300+ more banned firearms Dec 6

https://www.canada.ca/en/public-safety-canada/news/2024/12/government-of-canada-extends-list-of-prohibited-assault-style-firearms-and-moves-forward-on-regulatory-changes-to-strengthen-gun-control.html

Good job politicians..........
Maybe ban cigarettes and fast food chains next to actually reduce death rates

[underscore]

Same as before, there's a few actual bans and then a bunch of fluff that I'm pretty sure you couldn't legally own before anyways. The 2020 list had a grenade launcher in it.

Like this is the third thing on the new list, a Browning M2. The next one down is the same thing modified to go in a plane.

There's a Gepard GM6 Lynx (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gep%C3%A1rd_anti-materiel_rifle) anti-materiel rifle in the list too. This was already banned under the 10k joule category last time too, so double-banned.

[winson604]

So the buyback is taking shape with the Pilot now. The most troubling thing assuming you plan to comply is that the money allocated is the money allocated meaning once they run out of money you ain't getting anything. Still early, or late depending on how you look at it so hopefully they realize that's dumb.

[underscore]

Does anyone here own anything on the list?

[roastpuff]

Yes and I'm not handing it in. I think the buyback - especially for the stuff that's previously NR and now banned - is them trying to figure out what you have.

[winson604]

Does anyone here own anything on the list?

Yea I have 2 ARs that are on the list and from a purely financial point of view im getting approx almost double back compared to what I paid but that's not the norm with the list.

I'm really all for gun rights and yes fuck them I ain't giving my shit back but there are really only a few options.

1. Give it for money
2. Pay $500 or however much it costs for a gun smith to deactivate the gun
3. Do nothing and be a "criminal"
4. Give it for free

I ain't forking out hundreds to deactivate it, and keeping it does nothing for me if I cant use it. I ain't balling enough between getting $3000 back vs nothing just to stick it to them. Having said that if the choice was between 3 and 4 I may not choose 4 because that's also pretty stupid.

[roastpuff]

Considering it's rolling out East to West and they've only budgeted $742 million (of which some already went to businesses and a TON already went to admin costs) I doubt we in BC will see anything.

[underscore]

Yeah I was curious what their prices are vs market rates but nobody I knew had anything on the list. It's kinda weird to have a fixed budget when they're not allowing everyone to do it at the same time, but for those in BC with stuff they don't want to give up maybe it'll mean the whole thing folds before it gets here anyways and being ignored by Ontario will be a benefit for once lol.

[winson604]

Yea the list is pretty wack I'm definitely in the minority where I have 2 inexpensive AR's being offered higher than retail/market which I'm not convinced at this point I'd even get anything back. Pretty much nobody gives a shit about this other than gun owners. The average citizen doesn't know shit about this nonsense and the minute they hear the word guns automatically just have a reaction. So I wouldn't be surprised if not enough noise is made about this and we'll just be screwed over again.

[winson604]

FYI the Confiscation Program has launched and they've now flat out said first come first serve if you even hope to get any money back. Make your stand and not submit shit or submit and prey you get some money back. No judgment but you do have a choice to make.
