    M-S 1903 carbine in 6.5x54 M-S

    I bought this M-S 1903 carbine in 6.5x54 M-S a year ago. I have wanted one since 1979 when I first read "Islands in the Stream". The rifle is also famous for it's use by WDM Karamojo Bell in East Africa. It accounted for 300-400 of his 1100 elephant kills. It is very slim and light at 5 1/2...

    S&W Chiefs Special Airweight $213

    I just bought this Chiefs Special Airweight for $213 US (I'm in Canada). It comes with the original box, the S&W papers and the tools. The cylinder and barrel are steel, the frame is aluminum. There is no model number on the frame under the yoke. It weighs only 12-13 ounces. The serial number...

    Mag regulation change in Canada, 25 round 10/22 mags

    The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Crime Lab has recommended that the 25 round Butler Creek 10/22 magazines that have been legal in Canada for decades, are "prohibited devices" and are illegal to own or sell if not pinned to 10 rounds. This despite our laws that say that rimfire mags are not...

    Protect your 2A rights or you will end up with absurd debates like this

    It is embarrassing that we have come to this in Canada. BTW I work in many different countries and asked this question because I think that to effectively carry without being seen you have to know what you are doing beforehand. Protect your 2A rights. Once they are gone it only gets worse...

    Screw the new anti-gun Canadian govt - I just bought this!

    We just elected an anti-gun leftist government in Canada. So I went out and bought this. :neener: We cannot import handguns with barrels shorter than 4.2" nor .25 nor .32 nor .380s anymore into Canada so getting a small pistol means older ones already in Canada. It's for target...

    Czech 26.5mm flare gun sights

    Here is a flaregun sight that my brother made for me on his 3D printer. It is a perfect slip on fit for the barrel of my Czech 26.5mm flaregun. It is designed to use zap straps to secure it to the barrel. I wanted this for hazing bears with centrefire pen crack flares which I have an...

    Astra Constable .380 ACP

    I just received a double action Astra Constable (centre of photo below) in .380 ACP. I haven't shot it yet, just run A Zoom snap caps through it. It is a blowback pistol but given its weight I don't think it'll be a problem to manage its recoil. It is thin and not much larger than my...

    Finished my Benelli MR1 rifle

    I think that I have finished my mods on my Benelli MR1. In Canada we can only take our AR rifles to certified rifle ranges ie. they are Restricted Firearms. The MR1 is non restricted in Canada so I can take it anywhere and shoot it anywhere that it is legal to shoot ie. public land. I had...

    Mounting a rail and light on your shorty SxS

    I installed a rail on the left side of the fore end of my 12" Dominion Arms SxS. With an M3 light. For a right hander, my left thumb presses the lower M3 lever inwards to momentarily turn on the light.

    Tyler T grip adaptor question S&W 34

    I just bought this square butt 4" S&W 34 kit gun. It has the target trigger, target hammer and I think the target grips. I would like to put a Tyler T Grip #1 on it (shiny black). Question, will the Tyler T grip fit onto these target grips? I have T grips on my SW17 and SW12 but they...

    My new, cheap, low profile takedown carbine case

    I spotted this 24" tripod case in the camera store. It was only $24, seems well made and I knew it could be useful for carrying other things as well as my tripod. ;) Here it is loaded up, looking like any old camera accessory bag. But is it? Plus the pocket in front will...

    IMI Timberwolf .357 pump, red dot or irons?

    I just bought an IMI Timberwolf .357 magnum pump carbine. I've wanted one for a long time :D. I plan to use this lightweight, takedown carbine as a "grab it from the truck when you go walking in the bush" rig here in BC. I won't know until I've carried it around a bit and shot it, whether...

    Polar bear rifle, what would you use?

    For defending your remote camp in the arctic, not hunting. What would you have in your tent? I have worked there and keep a degreased BRNO 602, .375 H&H in my tent. I like that it is a Mauser action CRF, has excellent quality express sights and has a large 6 round magazine. I still...

    Re-attaching Wilson Scattergun front sight

    I had a Wilson front sight installed on the 14" barrel of my shotgun a couple of years ago. I assume that the gunsmith used the included glue that came with the front sight. It detached yesterday at the range while I was shooting light loads. Temperature was -3C. What is the best way...

    Special Forces Colombia

    We had a chance to train with the Colombian Special Forces. It was a real treat and they were very patient with us civilians. Kudos to the Colombian army. We were supposed to throw some hand grenades but since it was raining they removed that from the course. They showed us a number of...

    Astra 2000 .22 short mousegun review

    I finally got to the range to try out my new to me Astra 2000 .22 short mousegun. I gave it and its magazine a good cleaning and lightly greased the slide. I practiced shooting it one handed (strong and weak side) rapid fire at 7 yards with standard velocity Winchester lead .22 shorts...

    Would there be a demand from US buyers for older no lock SW revolvers?

    Would there be demand in the US for older, non-lock SW revolvers in 75-90% condition? I'm thinking about 4" barrel and shorter K frames as well as J frames. Canadian laws are very restrictive regarding these handguns (ie. 4" barrel and shorter). As time goes on, fewer and fewer Canadians...
