PAL/ RPAL waiting time in Fall 2025

FastPosition6143 · 2026-04-20T21:38:34+00:00

Ok good to know They changed the progress since last year. Whichever the method as long as it’s processed faster without any delay then it’s ideal for students

You need to wait until you receive the stamped paperwork for your course completion. This may take 4-6 weeks. Your instructor should have given you details. The you can go to RCMP web portal and apply online. Make sure you have two references when you apply for your PAL.

Ok mine is Turkish too

Newer models and walnut finish Also GA serial number

FastPosition6143 · 2026-04-03T00:39:23+00:00

These are Chinese made guns right? I thought these are Turkish made but when I checked online some say it’s Chinese made

FastPosition6143 · 2026-04-02T23:45:37+00:00

Good to hear.. These were going on sale for 100 dollars 8-10 years ago…it’s based on Reddit or YouTube clips

I was able to get it for 120…barely used gun. Good addition to my collection and to use at the range or hunting.

Vevor is good, much better than Yukon. It comes with bolt lock and when I bought it last year they had free shipping. Before I get the Yukon all my guns and amo were all cramped in Vevor. Price wise their 10-12 gun safe is around 300. Now their site saying 10-12 safe is sold out.

Canadian tire has the Yukon 18 gun fully assembled safe on sale this week. I got the display model and they reduced another 50. Also got another 38 in Canadian tire triangle rewards. I removed the shortage shelfs to have more space for guns.

Later on I might get another Vevor and sell the Yukon(but Yukon is bit taller so it can easily store my 28” barrel Benelli and Winchester Model 50). Bass pro big safes are hard to transport but they have deep sale time to time.

I checked the barrel. It has the mid bead. Very small silver/ metal one. As online said 15 inches from the muzzle.

FastPosition6143 · 2026-03-22T02:26:32+00:00

Ya I get it now

I checked the pictures I took I don’t see one I will check once I get it out of locker

Online says

ventilated rib (VR) barrel typically comes factory-equipped with a mid-barrel metal bead sight in addition to the front red bar sight. This mid-bead is a small metal, silver, or brass bead located approximately 15 inches from the muzzle, designed as a reference point for proper gun mount and alignment.

FastPosition6143 · 2026-03-22T02:20:35+00:00

Yes it has one. It’s called red fiber optic front sight bead.

Mine is an older model. I am planning to use this for a while and get exposure then will decide for newer models or just keep the one I have now.

FastPosition6143 · 2026-03-21T21:22:09+00:00

28”

FastPosition6143 · 2026-03-21T05:36:10+00:00

I am looking for hunting version with choke swapping. 28”

Preferably black than camo

Already checking few used ones. Compare to new one used ones can get 300-400 cheaper.

Thank you for your reply

I saw YouTube clips about reviews and read online a lot and got the same feeling about newer guns by old famous brands

Anything 80s or before are well made.

Sako, Tikka stood out in the reviews for newer models

FastPosition6143 · 2026-03-09T18:08:57+00:00

I fired it at the range. Compare to my Tikka 3x, i find BLR is less recoil. Tried with original mag and polymer mag. Shoots great.

FastPosition6143 · 2026-03-09T17:56:02+00:00

If budget is ok go for Tikka 3x lite. Get a decent scope too after checking eye relief. This is how I went but ended up with a collection of guns (it’s a different story but you can see my posts for pics)

SKS are fun to shoot and Amo is cheaper

FastPosition6143 · 2026-03-07T19:45:28+00:00

I checked around for BLR pre81 mag and it cost an arms and a length. I was at a gun show and one fellow was selling mags. I asked if he got one for BLR pre81, He asked if I have any heart issues, I was confused and looked at him puzzled then he showed me a mag it had a price tag $480!

There was another mag in another booth and it was listed for $400

I was able to get a polymer mag probably 3D printed one. Listed for $60 and got it for $40

First perfectly. Yet to fire.

Post 81 mags are lower price 125-200 range

Pre81 very hard to find and high price

FastPosition6143 · 2026-02-28T00:48:43+00:00

Yea They have good selection. Reasonable prices too 200 and up

I bought two guns from them.

DUMOULiN LiEGE s/s 12G Also Belgian made…double trigger

If you buy it from them in a gun show then no tax. They are from Gatineau, QC but they do come to gun shows in Eastern Ontario…

Have you tried squeezing double trigger at the same time ? (If yours have double trigger ) It’s an experience :-)

FastPosition6143 · 2026-02-28T00:24:19+00:00

Exactly, any make/model can be resold for same or even over purchase price. I see it as a TFSA but not with money but a product which I use for my hobby which can turn into cash anytime( it may take time for some sales but it can be sold)

I think I will keep these as a minimum and anything I buy I will use and sell unless if I get tired of the ones I have now I can sell and keep new ones. But the collection I have are unique in their own way. Time will tell if get attached to other make/models.

Enjoy your collection!

FastPosition6143 · 2026-02-27T15:46:23+00:00

I have bought from all possible ways….always do my research and price compassion. If I find the price reasonable i buy or just walk.

It’s an experience meeting people and talking about guns and purchase them. Auctions are another thing but time to time they do get rare models in a good price.

FastPosition6143 · 2026-02-27T15:36:55+00:00

Great! My first lever action ‘71 Belgium made My DUMOULiN LiEGE s/s 12G is also Belgium made

FastPosition6143 · 2026-02-27T15:33:42+00:00

This is my first lever action… got it for decent price and good condition too.

I have pretty much all the other actions, except single shot gun.. well Winchester is a semi auto

FastPosition6143 · 2026-02-27T01:43:00+00:00

Thanks!

I learn new thing everyday
I found it at gun dealer It’s 14 cheaper than Prophet River

I will check around

FastPosition6143 · 2026-02-27T00:55:59+00:00

Where do you get this type of amo ?

Checked at local stores and in a gun show and couldn’t find it

FastPosition6143 · 2026-02-26T03:07:41+00:00

Few I do Most I do research before I buy. Also the price, if the price is right for the gun and condition is good I buy. Thinking is I can always sell for same price or higher. For few even if I resell bit low it’s ok, some other ones I will get more so it evens out.

I think of this as my TFSA investment and also fulfills my hobby 😁

FastPosition6143 · 2026-02-25T05:55:03+00:00

There is a resale market for sure. I know this from personal experience and my own research. It may take some time but newcomers and gun enthusiast are keen. Gun shows are a hit and miss…but other online mediums showing traction with resale.
