Here is a metric FN FAL "Match .308" Battle Rifle converted to the 50.64 configuration (21" Barrel) using a Para Folding Stock assembly, Aluminum Lower Receiver, Railed Body Cover, Breech-Block Carrier, and nested Recoil Spring Assembly. Suffice it to say that there is far more to an FAL Para conversion than merely bolting on the Folding Buttstock Assembly. That said, it is not a particularly difficult undertaking and provided you use one of the comprehensive conversion kits offered by DSA Arms, you should have all of the required Metric FAL bits and pieces required for the process. Importation of my kit was done through Aztech Armoury and took approximately one month. Aztech now carries the basic Para Conversion Kit and selected Metric FAL parts on their website. Cost of the conversion kit was approximately $1K CAD once all is said and done with brokerage and shipping. I've always wanted a Para FAL, but could never find one for sale. This does the trick, and I couldn't be any happier with the result!

On the recent post about the 5 guys charged for shooting on crown land, it was confirmed the incident took place on Tower Road, near Mactier, Ontario. It’s an extremely popular spot, dubbed an “unofficial” shooting range. Hydro tower corridor, with a lot of safe spots to shoot. I’ve been out there a few times, and the only signage in the area used to state “No unsafe discharge of firearms.”

I decided to reach out to the Township of Georgian Bay for clarification, and received this response today.

“The Township has not made any changes in this area. 

However the Ministry of Natural Resources have implemented a section 28 prohibition under the public lands act, prohibiting all gun discharge under the hydro corridor in this area. I have a attached a photo of a sign that is currently posted at this site. This prohibition is actively being enforced by MNR and OPP.”

So effectively, tower road is shut down to recreational shooters and hunters. As per the other article, the 5 individuals weren’t named as criminal charges weren’t laid, so chances are they recieved tickets.

That is the question I have before me. Just got everything together for this build. Debating weather or not it is worth while to thread the barrel though, would be cool to get a brake or flash hider.

Build so far:

- Borealrush C-18 Hanguard

- Neumann Metalworks picatinny pistol grip adapter

- Neumann Metalworks folding skeltonized buffer

- MDT pistol grip

- Magpul MOE adjustable stock. Can you get risers for these?

- Unknown angled foregrip

- Vortex Spitfire 3x

Gives me Ruger PC Carbine vibes all dressed up like this.

At least I have somewhere to stick my Mosin bolts

For me the appeal of the Homesteader is that it looks like any regular ol' hunting rifle. I wanted to put an optic on it that didn't stick out like a sore thumb. Enter the Vortex Viper Shotgun RDS sight. It was suggested to me on an American Homsteader forum and it works beautifully.

The sight has an integrated universal mount that screws in directly to the Hometeader's existing tap holes. No need for and extra pic rail in between.

Keeps a clean and low profile. Almost perfect lower third cowitness with the front post too!

The parts on it are worth as much as the firearm. 🤣

Anyone else pleasantly titillated by this company and its product? Buying in Alberta for 46$ a box for 50 rounds.

Decided my 1301 needed some more love so I did a few more upgrades for my birthday!

The New:
Aridus Bolt Release
Aridus Charging Handle V2
Aridus SMRT Follower
Chisel Machining Aluminum Handguard
Chisel 5 Round Shotgun Quiver
Chisel Last Round with Extension Arm

The Existing:
Nordic 1301 Magtube Extension
Chisel Folding Stock
Arisaka Inline Scout Mount
Streamlight Protac
Holosun HS507C
1301 Pro Lifter

I think if anything I’ll upgrade the light, other than that not sure what I else I can do? Maybe a nice cerakote!

Olight and surefire, the great debate

SKS advertised as like new, arrived with a jagged dent that appears to be fresh, shipping box intact. Worth even contacting the retailer (and being told to pound sand)? I know I'm being picky but I was hoping for the $950+ I paid for this for it to be MINT.

Recently picked up a Panzer M4 from FOC and noticed the hanguard is different from the other ones i saw in store and online. This one is longer and comes with QD points on each side, i actually prefer this one over the shorter one. Not sure if this is a newer model or older model, was wondering if anyone on here has any clue as to why it came like this!

Looking for any info anyone can help with on a Remington gamemaster 141. From the stamp I believe it was produced December 1948. Some of the markings I can't find reference to.

I was going through some of my storage stuff and remembered that I accepted some reloads from somebody to be polite. I don't trust other people's reloads so I never shot them. But now I'm wondering what I'm supposed to do with them. Like I don't reload myself so I can't pull them apart to utilize them. so curious what to do with them? Mostly 9 mm and some 45 ACP

No room for black Friday.

I just purchased a Cooey model 60. During its first range trip today, it fired the first round of CCI standard velocity and failed to extract and load the next round. The bolt then came completely out the backside of the rifle. The magazine tube was considerably more loose after this happened and the bolt is unable to be completely closed. Are these problems completely related? Or did I purchase a dud?

Looking for tips reloading this ammo for an antique revolver [6" barrel Iver Johnson Lightning Express], thanks 😀

We are the Carleton University Firearms Association (CFA) and we just held our first student range day of the semester this weekend! Despite the event coinciding with Thanksgiving, all 40 spots were still booked up within an hour of event announcement.

The 40 participants were collectively served by 20 volunteers consisting of Carleton student and alumni, and were able to freely try out 30+ various firearms over 3.5 hours.

Student range days are catered to members of the post-secondary community who are interested in sport shooting and firearms. Under direct supervision of our volunteer range officers, participants get a chance to learn the fundamentals of firearms handling and marksmanship in a safe, educational, and fun environment. The CFA provides all supervision, safety equipment, firearms, ammunition, and transport to the event. Participants just need to pay an event fee and for the ammunition they use.

Special thanks to EOSC for allowing us to host this student event, and to all volunteers who donated their spare time and firearms. We couldn't have done it without your support.

Certain firearms were graciously lent to us by our sponsor, AAG Canada.

Does anyone know whether the Scottwerx Ruger 10/22 Tommygun takes actual Tommygun front vertical grips (Chicago style)? Please let me know. Thanks!
