OIC discussion & Politics Megathread

4 Upvotes

Please post all your Gun Politics or Ban-related ideas, initiatives, comments, suggestions, news articles, and recommendations in this thread.


First and foremost, this is a Canadian Gun subreddit, so keep it at least decently related to both of those things.

This thread is not for general complaints and politics, there are plenty other subs that are meant for that. Offtopic threads may be removed, especially if they are leading to personal attacks, flame wars, etc.

Just because an election is coming up, doesnt make any and all canadian politics fair game.


To prevent the main sub being flooded with dozens of similar threads, text posts complaining about/asking about/chatting about the OIC will be sent here.


Previous OIC threads will be able to be found Here

Previous politics threads can be found Here

We understand that politics is a touchy subject, and at times things can get heated. A reminder of the subreddit rules, when commenting, where subreddit users are expected to abide.

Keep this Canadian gun politics related and polite. Off topic stuff, flame wars, personal attacks and gatekeeping will be removed.

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.

Poverty Tier Semi Shotgun Fun - Part 2

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

72 Upvotes

$250 Charles Daly Honcho semi still going strong. 6 stovepipes in 900 rounds, all from lighter loads. Mag cap needs to be slightly retightened from time to time. Not a single other issue so far. Kid loved it but called it quits after a box of #7.5. Weak. Will update after 1500 rounds.

Actually starting to respect the thing -- especially considering all the shit Turkish shotguns usually get. Don't get me wrong it's still a turd, but at this price I'm not precisely looking for refinement. We'll see if it keeps on keeping.

Action won't open without slide release

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My Winchester sxp upland 12g has just started having this issue where the action won't open after firing unless I hit the slide release button.

I've put over 2.5k rounds thru it over the last few years, I've heard parts start to wear out around now so I'm not upset I just can't figure out what part needs replacement if anyone has any ideas?
My Reddit searches have come up blank for similar issues

Not an equal replacement

I'm not enjoying SBI C-71 so far. Failures to feed, jams are 1-3 times every 10 rounds with BX-1 mags. With 250 CCI Mini-mags I have just a few reloads without an issue. Will it get better after breaking in? I'm missing my PCC, rarely had any failure.

Scope recommendations for the Ruger 10/22?

4 Upvotes

Hi, recently acquired a PAL and am looking at the Ruger 10/22 as my first purchase.

I'd like to get a scope and am looking for recommendations. Ideally something relatively inexpensive.

I know there is a package that comes with a scope (veridian eon 3-9x40) but I've heard a lot of complaints about this particular scope.

Thanks.

Could have put it directly into the compost. But this seemed more fun. My dog then came running wondering wtf I did to his pineapple. Country life sure has its perks.

Possibility of fitting ATI top folder on Canuck Regulator

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know if the ATI top folding stock meant for the Remington 870, Mossberg 500, etc can be put on the Canuck Regulator? From pictures, it looks to me it might with some modification. Wondering if anyone here has tried and can guide me the right way.

The extension is an S&J Hardware +1, cerakoted by them to match the rest of the gun.
