The 4 Rules of Handling Firearms:

Finally got my first 10/22!!

Hi,

I'm new to the guns world. Taking ICAF online and waiting for CCSMAF course in march.

Just have a lil question: which gun would you recommend for someone who is in a wheelchair? I know I can shoot from a car with my condition (if I ask for it). I want to shoot for fun only - I guess a handgun would be better (im also a girl so huge guns wouldnt do it) but yeah, waiting for your advices.

Thanks!

Looking for suggestions on this… I like to shoot 300 to 400 to 500 yards ish

I don’t really want a SKS or other cheaply made gun.

Thx for your help !!!

So I've been lurking around the web reading about rifle Scopes for a few months now and I honestly have no idea if there's a better brand out there than the other in terms of price ranges. I'm looking to dump 800-1200$ on an optic and have had my eyes on Burris or Athlon. But honestly... after a while it's just like looking into a fog. lol.

It's for hunting, maybe some long range targets for bragging rights really.

So I ask the Reddit community. Got a favorite brand out there? and why

In general, keep it canadian and gun related.

(Sorry, it seems like reddit's autoscheduled post function isnt working properly, hence why the last few politics threads did not post as scheduled. While trying to resolve that, I'll just try and get them put out here manually, thank you for your patience, feel free to message the mods/send a modmail if you dont see a new thread get posted on upcoming mondays

Edit: appear to have it back to scheduled as normal for upcoming weeks, let us know if it didnt work next week lol.)

Took the Lee enfield No4 Mk1 out for some target practice loving how soft .303 feels on the shoulder

I am looking for a new rifle for deer. I currently have a mossberg patriot predator 6.5 creedmor with a vortex crossfire 3x9. I’ve had this for 5 years now and have had zero issues taking deer with it. Although I am looking to upgrade my system. Kinda want to go from an entry level rifle to something better. I want another 6.5creedmor rifle that would be great for deer but also something with better build quality and a smoother/lighter trigger.

My typical hunting is open farm field with a ground blind and a fixed tripod in low light. I am shooting anywhere between 80-300 yards.

Any suggestions?

No regrets

I am interested in manufacturing firearms and do not want to sell them. Does this still require a FBL? Or does it require some other obscure licensing? Also, at what point do "parts" become a "gun"? Very much interested in not breaking the law in any way but the law doesn't seem to want to give me any answers, and the CFP didn't want to call me back I guess. Not looking for answers, just for people to point me in the right direction of useful information.

Hello everyone. I’ve recently sold my Howa 1500 heavy barrel in .308. I found it to be too heavy for the predator control and hunting I’ve been doing. I’ve found my sporter weight barrel isn’t doing me favours target shooting.

I’m looking for suggestions for a mid weight barrel. Maybe varmint profile that’s available right now.

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if such a thing exists and who makes the best one? I looked up the skinner one but it says that it will only fit on the 1895 and 336. I need something to replace my buckhorns that’ll also allow me to install a QD mounted scope. Any suggestions?

Lest we forget

like QBU-88 or type 95-1?

Exporting firearms, ammunition, parts and accessories from the US: most items are controlled under ITAR and you cannot, as an individual, export these items from the USA. Canada does not care in most cases. If you attempt to bring any of these items across the border yourself and you are caught, you will face prison time in the US.

If you wish to export items from the USA, use a broker such as IRUNGUNS, Aztech, or Prophet River.

If you took your CFSC and lost the paperwork, you can still apply for your PAL. Both your instructor and the CFP retain copies, you can request a copy by contacting either one. There is no expiration date on the paperwork, you do not have to retake the course.

Hi fellow Canandian gunnies.

I'm looking everywhere for either adjustable sights (windage & elevation) or a red dot mount for my GSG 1911.

Can't find anything anywhere, anybody knows where i could find that ?

Thanks

Hello all, I'm trying to find a part that is out of stock everywhere, but available at lake country co-op outdoors (lakecountrycoopoutdoors.ca).

With lots of fake sites out there, I wanted to ask if anyone has purchased anything from this site?

Thanks.

Hi folks Im American but also a citizen of Canada (live and born in USA) how would i bring down my guns from your country to mine, ik my own laws regarding import but could i just be handed the gun in your country or so i need to do something and y’all’s end

No cool photos today just wanted to thank this community! It’s great to know there’s people who have a strong interest in firearms like me out here in our beautiful country! Unfortunately I do not have many people other than my wife that enjoys firearms, so not many people to talk to about it. Most of my long time friends distance themselves because I enjoy firearms and own them. It’s sad to see but having a community like this has been helpful! Maybe one day I’ll get a few friends that are big on firearms like all of you! Just a thank you, and keep enjoying your firearms!

Hi all,

I've been on the fence about getting a shotgun, and I think I'd be using it for range fun mostly (target or clays) and possible hunting in the future. Due to restrictions for the range with clay/skeet I'm looking for something 26"+ for barrel length. I've been thinking about a benelli super nova but would appreciate any feedback or thoughts! Budget is ideally sub 800.

Cheers!

edit: thanks so much to everyone who's chimed in so far, I just wanted to elaborate a bit more re: mav 88, I know it is a very highly reccomended shotgun for its price/performance but I also wanted to see what else people would reccomend with a bit more budget as there has got to be some differences that make people spend a bit more.

Took my pretty much newmossberg 500 shooting today, and noticed this after a few slugs. Prior to this it had only had 10 slugs through it. I’m certain I hadn’t bumped the gun or anything but maybe 🤷‍♂️ anyways, I’m a little nervous about unscrewing the sight as I’m worried it could fuck up the threading, any suggestions? Anyone else had this happen?

Got these pmag 10 gl9 mags and they’re ridiculously tight. Could barely get 8 rounds in and had issues with the bolt not closing on my fx9. Is there anyway to loosen them up?
