The 4 Rules of Handling Firearms:

I was looking at purchasing my first firearm and wanted yalls opinion. not really my first gun as my dad had gotten me a lazer arms xt11 a few years back with the promise it was mine when I got my Pal. I was looking at getting a savage model MKII-FVXP .22lr as my first purchase and was curious on what yall thought about it. was kinda just looking at a plinking gun for now since i use my fathers browning .243 for deer hunting already and am not ready to drop more then 600 on a gun yet (I give it a year before that number doubles). i look forward to be a part of this community and thank anyone in advance for there comments

After 6 long weeks, I received my PAL. Went Ruger for my first. Booked the range for Monday at 1pm.

Not your average shotgun for hunting

Looking to order stuff for my firearms, but haven’t found anywhere that is “reputable” local to Ontario.

Anyone have any suggestions on best places to look?

I have a Ruger PC that would be slick to get some tandemkross for, but I’m also looking for grips and mlok stuff etc for ergos.

Thanks

Just finished building the Crypto last night. Crypto guts as follows;

IBI 19" barrel w/ .936 gas journal (chunky boi)

Lantac Enhanced BCG

Radion Raptor charging handle

Triggertech Diamond trigger

Triggertech ambi safety

Armaspec SRS-H2 buffer system

It was all supposed to go into an ATRS over 4 years ago... sad. Haven't test fired it yet. Hopefully it's gassed well enough that I don't have to fuck with the buffer or replace the block.

Hope you guys enjoy, I was curious for a long time but I got my answers. https://youtu.be/JtOyCWhz5U8?si=tgKyA04s0rX52OAI

First time out with the raven since getting it.

Gotta say I'm had a blast with it right out of the box. Gave it a good cleaning and oiling, set the gas to 15 clicks, and shot about 250 ish rounds and didn't have a single issue. Gonna drop the gas down a few notches next time but over all, had a great time.

Looking forward to getting back out again!

I love it!

So my license expires on December 1st. I’ve been forgetting and procrastinating like a mofo and didn’t do my renewal online until November 5th. I just checked online (November 9th) and my application has been processed and my license has been issued. Now I’m just waiting for my physical card in the mail.

Unless they did it today (which is unlikely) my license renewal was processed at some point within 3.5 days. I’d call that pretty damn efficient.

Ontario by the way.

Been looking around for a shotgun to buy for waterfowl hunting for next year and been really wanting a browning a5 simply because I had it in RDR2 and I thought it was awesome. Is it worth buying for waterfowl hunting or would I be better off buying something like a maverick 88 for a first time hunting shotgun.

Found some success this morning!

I’m wondering if the fat end is supposed to be forward or backwards like I’ve shown, I’m also curious to know if there’s a distance range each notch is accounting for, if it’s say 25y per notch.

Cooey model 600

TLDR at bottom, the next few paragraphs is back story.

Hey guys,

So my girlfriend has recently expressed some interest in getting a gun of her own now that I've brought her shooting a more than a few times and she sees the appeal.

The thing is, she is a small-statured woman and has trouble comfortably shouldering most of my rifles, due to the weight. My type 81, which is front heavy, to be fair (as well as just straight up heavy in general), she could shoulder it, but trying to hold it steady, on target was a struggle I could tell, and after that one shot, her arms were too tired to use it again, so I moved her down to my Marlin 795, which is light enough to be a toy, and she liked that.

The next time I brought her to the range I had her use my Raven, which is a little lighter, and she had an easier time with it, but it was still a little too much for her to use comfortably for any real period of time.

The next time, I thought my FX-9 in 9mm would be goldilocks. Lighter than the T81 & Raven, also, a more comfortable recoil for a smaller person. It was much better this time around, she was able to hold it steady on her own for a few mags before she was starting to get tired and shaky, and she asked me for the Marlin again.

Now don't get me wrong, the Marlin is a great gun, I love it, but I want to get her something a little more substantial in terms of firepower. It's good for learning the fundamentals and practicing good technique, but .22LR is a little light for a workhorse/SHTF gun, which is what she was talking about. I immediately thought of the FPC, being light, and keeping with that 9mm she's more comfortable with compared to the 7.62x39 and .223, but here's the catch:

She's not a fan of the black rifle look, and would prefer something with wood furniture. Now I know options are slim in this country, and I don't think there's another option besides getting a Ruger PCC and ordering an aftermarket wood chassis for it, which I've seen online, but the PCC is already around 7lbs, and I assume with the wood stock instead of polymer, it would end up being even more. Now that's not too much of an issue because she will get used to the weight through using it, but I really want to get her something with wood furniture since I can tell she really likes that.... If only Henry made that Homesteader in Non-restricted barrel length.

So if anyone has any better options, even if that means going the custom/aftermarket route for furniture, I'd appreciate any answer!

If all of these criteria describes a non-existent gun in Canada, then maybe even something in .22 mag will have to do

*TLDR: Girlfriend is interested in getting her own gun. She is small and has trouble using bigger, heavier guns, so I've narrowed it down to a semi-auto in a pistol calibre (Or even .22 mag, if there is nothing that fits these criteria) She really like the look of wood furniture compared to the "black gun" look though, and I can tell that's an important point. Please feel free to share any suggestions, even if they're on the pricey side or involve custom/aftermarket furniture.

I appreciate it. Thanks everyone!

Hey guys, I’ve recently been looking at getting a gun range membership so I don’t have to drive all the way to crown land and can use my handgun. I’m located in Pickering and have found that Gagnon in Oshawa and easthill in Orono are my top 2 choices. My brother and i would both be getting memberships so even with the platinum membership at easthill and adding him to my membership for the extra $200 the split cost would be similar to 2 individual memberships at Gagnon, and the 24 hour access would be really great. Wondering if anyone here has experience with one or both and could relay their experience and pros/cons with each. Thanks in advance!

Hey all. Just looking for clarification if we can get rifle stocks shipped in from companies in the US? Wanting to Order a Stockys carbon fiber for my t3x or a Pure Precision Altitude. Both have options to select Canada as a shipping location and Stockys emailed and said they can ship to Canada. But then every site on google says I cannot import a stock from the USA if its worth over $500 and other pages just straight up say I cannot. Anybody have a concrete answer?

I need a replacement stock for my shotgun and have heard there is a good fabricator in Edmonton.
Any recommendations?

Thanks

Where do you shop for guns and ammo? I figure Alsimmons and SAIL are the closest?

Apologize for the wind noise, was gusting at 30km/h all day.

My contribution to FKF… just getting started but it does what it’s supposed to!

-Tacnex Dual Belt with Esstac Kywi pouches, TopTacPro IFAK pouch (awesome for the price) paired with a BlueForceGear TQ Hammock + Shear holder.

-Shellback Tactical Banshee PC that I rattlecanned because I’m super cool. Ceramic Level IV plates of course.

Carrier basically just sits atop my safe a looks pretty. Have had it for a while and used it for airsoft, but I don’t play much anymore. Planning a trip to crownland soon to go LARPing with the homies. Just finished the belt and brought it to the range today to practice reloading… so much fun.

Patiently waiting until I can get my grubby little hands on a handgun to complete the whole thang with a nice safariland.

Sezzle, Afterpay, etc. I know firearmsoutletcanada offers sezzle but wondering if there’s any other sites I can avail of the buy now pay later plan.

Hello all, I have a general question if anyone out there can help me.

I have a Browning Ab3 hunter chambered in 30-06 and I bought the recommended browning integrated mid rings.

If anyone has the same rifle which scope fit the massive gap over the bolt and still fit the rings?

I reversed the front ring to have a little more reach backwards but with no luck.

Thanks!
