Ontario judge sentences handgun trafficker to house arrest after mandatory minimum declared unconstitutional
nationalpost.comIntroduction from Every Defence LLP
Hello r/canadaguns!
We are Every Defence LLP, a criminal defence firm with a special interest in firearms laws. Our team is composed of long-time PAL holders with a passion for anything and everything firearms-related.
Like you, we are collectors and enthusiasts who are navigating the complex and ever-changing firearms law regime. We are particularly frustrated by the lack of helpful information on niche topics within the hobby. We felt by providing general information and the opportunity for r/canadaguns community members to ask us general questions, we hope to keep the public informed on current firearms law regulations while also tackling ambiguity and myths in existing laws.
Every month or two, we will pick a hot-topic firearms issue that has been percolating in the r/canadaguns community. In doing so, we aim to provide needed clarity on the current state of the law to that topic.
Importantly, THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, and we cannot answer questions about your specific situation. You should not construe anything we say as legal advice, and you should speak to a lawyer immediately about any legal predicament you find yourself in. In no way does the general information we provide create a solicitor-client relationship, and it is not meant to serve as legal advice for any legal predicament you may find yourself in.
Disappointed - Simmons Pro target Red dot
Currently run a vortex triumph on my 556 (I love it)
Thought I would order a simmons pro target dot because I liked the design and too give other brands a try, also it was a good price ($100) for my 22lr. Box was sealed brand new but turned up like this with a smudge/haze on the inside of the rear lens...
Annoying
Only lock i have for this gun currently
Do you guys see a problem with this?
Below the ejector thingy it opens up to be just wide enough for the lock, i tried yanking it out and it is not moving, wont close either obviously
New Toys
Wife not home so guns go in the kitchen.
12.5" MRA Renegade Mk2 in 223 wylde with furniture upgrades, a romeo 5x and hm3x, and my brand new 24" Bergara B14 HMR in 308 with a Bushnell Match Pro ED 5-30x56.
What would be your choice for shotgun 12: Remington 870 or STOEGER P350
I'm new to this, and I was looking for an entry-level shotgun for bird hunting. Any thoughts?
What bolt .223 should I get?
So far most of my experience with firearms has been small game hunting and plinking at cans with a .22.
I recently moved from a rural area to a city and I’d like to keep shooting but will be going to the local range. It maxes out at 200 yards. I’d like to get into target shooting at that range. Nothing no crazy just a hobby on the weekends. The .22 is fine but want something bigger and more fun.
Google is suggesting a Tikka T3x in .223 but there are a lot of models (varmint? CTR?) Any suggestions on what I should be looking into? Id like to keep my budget low but I’m in no rush and willing to save for the right piece. Upper end of what I’m thinking is 1000-1500 but like I said I’m willing to go up and down.
Looking for something that’s good out of the box and doesn’t need any serious upgrades but that has enough aftermarket support for a different stock, etc. if I want to.
Edit:
-Budget is just the rifle thought I’d like to stay south of 2k with glass included. But again, I’ll save for the right thing at the right price.
-this will strictly be for the range. There’s nothing around me I can hunt ethically or illegally with a .223 except coyote and I’m not interested in them.
Practical manual action DMR
I accidentally made something like a DMR, but it's a manual action.
I pragmatically made a practical manual action DMR:
Since the 60s or 70s, they've been designed around semi-autos for quick follow-up shots and accurate target suppression, but they can also be pushed into a frontline combat role instead of just support. They're practical from 50 out to 600 yard combat rifles with good 1-2 MOA accuracy.
But the Savage Impulse is weird, even though it's a manual action: it can do that with its straight-pull action and a good LPVO. The Context also semi auto are harder to come by within civil market within jurisdiction and this is pragmatically what you can get for a high capacity practical rifle that is also ambi. Me shooting with old stock which I hated with a passion for lots of reasons:

The At One stock makes the rifle way easier to handle, with better balance and a chunkier front end for me to grip. It's much more pointable and can be shot from the shoulder easily.
Apparently, Boyds has a taller comb for cheek rise, but I didn't realize I needed to order it, and I'm annoyed it doesn't just come standard with the At One because it cost a bloody $100 usd to order it.
I just sanded the barrel channel a bit, wrapping sandpaper around the barrel and moving it back and forth to give it more free float room by thickness of the sandpaper. It was a little tight and it seems good now with that technique, but otherwise it dropped right in.
The optic is a PA Slx 1-8x24ffp ACSS raptor, and the loads I've handloaded line up with the reticle with this optic height of 2.23". I'm not wanting to lower it either because my head position and where the butt lands in my shoulder pocket feel comfortable. The bolt throw is long on the rifle, and when prone, I need enough length of pull to feel comfortable, which is why the optic is mounted so far back: it only has 3.2" eye relief.
Engraved Henry American Eagles
I recently deep engraved two of these Henry American Eagles for a client. One for himself and the other for one of his employees that had his 5 year anniversary.
Any have any leads on where I can get blank receiver covers (nickel and brass) in Canada? I suspect ordering directly from Henry in the States will be a customs headache.
IPSC - Getting Started
Hey guys!
I have been looking to get started in IPSC. I contacted an instructor at my club, however I am unsure what the next steps are to get my Black Badge, or if the instructors at my range even offer the ability to conduct that course.
I plan on borrowing a friend’s Glock 44, however I am aware I need a range belt, magazine pouches, and a holster. On the candidate page it mentions the holster cannot have a index finger release, does this mean retention holsters are not allowed? Even if they utilize a thumb flip system instead of an index finger button?
What other equipment is required besides the basic range garb (ear defenders, eye protection, etc).
Also, if you have any recommendations on what equipment to buy i’d greatly appreciate it! I am trying to do this on a budget as a university student, so I don’t wanna break the bank, some OWN holsters i’ve seen from big names like Safariland are upwards of $190…
Cheers (:
My build
Any improvement?
Tikka T3x CTR, 6.5 Creedmoor 20", MDT Oryx Chassis, Arken EP5 7–35×56, MDT Elite Muzzle Brake, Magpul M-LOK Bipod.
Anyone still waiting on their 22LR Handgun CFO Transfer Approval?
Is anyone still waiting on their 22LR Handgun Transfer Approval? It seems like the RCMP Firearms Centre CFO is either not processing them or taking a very long time to do so especially for US imports. Anyone else still waiting from a month ago?
Just for fun
Looks legit to custom make Sulun Arms SR-45 Revolver - .45 can be turned in revolver.
Trade for Sks. Worth it?
Been wanting to pick up an Sks for a while.... Put up some of my guns onto GP to feel out the market this morning, got a message a few hours ago offering a trade for two of the 3 I posted.
Anyway. Deal done. How did i do? Dollar asking amount matches but what would you prefer.
My:
Ithaca XL900 12 Gauge Semi-Auto – Made in Japan @ $550
Savage axis Xp (new shape) in 308 win @ $600
For their:
Russian Tula SKS W/ 40+ stripper clips, bayonet, detachable and fixed mag, all matching numbers exc mag and obviously stock, hush folding stock. @ $1150
She isn't perfect but neither was my 12 gauge. (The 308 was pretty minty though)
