The 4 Rules of Handling Firearms:

Hello Folks,

I would appreciate if someone could provide me a recommendation for a 10/22 after-market barrel. Preferably carbon fiber (or similar as I am trying to have a light build) and greater than or equal to 20 inches in length.

Thanks in advance!

Just as the title says.

Does anyone know of any dealers in Canada that import and sell Railscales products? (specifically their UK Contract accessories, more specifically the HTP XOS kit, RSBM-P foregrip, and the Contract Romeo 8T Monolift riser, all in FDE)

I and a little team I have are looking at building out a a Raven Silver 5.56 to be a clone of the UK Marines new KS1 rifle as close as we can get, to serve as our first shop / modelling gun.

The only changes we want to make are to the suppressor (for a kineti-tech faux suppressor) , suppressor cover (for a Magpul polymer cover), the handguard (for a BCM MCMR 13" in FDE bc we refuse to spend almost $1k on a Knights rail) and a temporary optics change (just a Holosun red dot, we will be sourcing a Romeo 8t to cerakote FDE to be contract correct later on to save money) , and because of this, and the less than accurate base platform, we want to go overboard for accuracy on the other parts, but finding Railscales accessories has been harder than expected, and they seemingly dont do international shipping on their site.

Any stores you may know of that sell them here? Or if you have ordered from them, were there any CBSA / ITAR issues that you had to worry about?

If not its okay, we have been preparing for if we cant get them and will go for the Magpul contract accessory package as a backup.

Found this thing in the back of my safe a couple months ago, brand new in the box and I never took it out. Doesn't seem to be a lot of love for these Tikka Sporters. I agree, brand new they are $3,000 which seems a little over priced for what they are in the world of rifles such as the Tikka A1C.

My grandfather bought it new in the early 60s. I don’t hunt birds, but it’s sure easy on the shoulder after shooting clays all afternoon.

Some people get pretty confused when they see the whole barrel move when it cycles

Am I missing anything here? Any recommendations?

Fugg off glowies it's obviously never in a fucking barn and is stored legally and not used and all that jazz

Looking to get my sporterized Enfield long branch #4 1943, bolt inspected,repaired,cleaned and test fired. Any one know where i can get this done? Thx

I'm looking for, well, a Mini Ranch 14. 5.56, classic grip (what's that called anyway? not-pistol-grip?), wood furniture. The Mini Ranch would be perfect, but it's... banned. For... reasons.

I generally collect the older stuff, so I'd prefer "oh, there's this classic 1970 hunting rifle made for 7 years in Romania and there's one for sale!" rather than some brand new fancypants thing.

Hey everyone!

I want to talk about Canadian black rifles. I know, common theme.

There’s been lots of discussion surrounding the drawbacks of these guns. I’m talking about Wk180c, SRV2, M10X etc. It’s in every thread about them.

Are these seriously as bad as this subreddit makes it seem? These are very popular rifles- so many have been sold the past couple of years and surely there’s plenty of people out there who use these without issues.

Of course a Bren 2 or a Tavor are better, but they are more then double the price. We are kind of limited in affordable(~$1500) options in this space, are they really all junk? Should I roll the dice and try?

Basically; Any happy owners on here lol?

Wondering if anyone knows of any clubs that are open to the public, I have my RPAL. Haven’t found a permanent club yet but have purchased a few guns which I want test out. Hoping for a place somewhere in south western Ontario or the GTA.

I was offered a Gen 2 APC223 from a co-worker for less than the estimated cost of the incoming NR bren 2’s. I heard they are supposed to hit the shelves early 2025 and retails at +/-$3800 for now.

Anybody own both a NR converted bren/APC223 and can comment on what they would keep if they had to choose only one? He’s asking $3700 for the mint condition APC223.

Not a build yet, but getting my srv2 Siberian set up. My first non-wood hunting rifle/shotgun. I love being able to kit out my rifle. Before the bcl hate comes in I’m north of 500 rounds (about 4 times at the range since I got it) with no issues. Next up will be a compensator and new trigger. If anyone has ar15 trigger and mussel device experience I’d appreciate any advice you can give.

Yeah yeah… I know… Buy Once Cry Once…

oh boy those are the tears of joy of a new X95 owner.

But no budget left for optics :)

Looking for recommendation on anything “cheap”, hopefully up to 200$, maybe 300$.

Red dot, prism, lpvo… Anything with minimal decent quality that will hold zero and allow me to plink, while I get budget for that acog/rmr combo, hopefully by summer time.

Thanks !

From what I have been seeing the deals just aren’t there this year, even less so than 2023.

Did you buy anything or are you holding out for Boxing Day?

Couldn't stop buying until my safe was full...help.

Top to bottom: winchester sxp hybrid hunter 3 1/2", mossberg 590a1 retro, tikka t3x ctr .308, ruger pc9, '79 norinco sks french tickler, henry golden boy .22, ruger 10/22 carbine

Does anyone in SW Ontario have a decent selection of 5.11 pants?

Ready to go for next week's Ukee trip. First owned firearms, shot a lot over the years with friends and family..I'm 55. but got my PAL in April. Sitemark M spec on the FPC and a CV Life 3-9 AO on the 10/22. Both bore sited so hoping for good to average stuff. Fun!
