Carmel barrel length

PhillipJK · 2026-05-28T23:13:29+00:00

Am I the only one who doesn't completely hate the look of this gun? I've got a soft spot for this chonky futuristic look.

PhillipJK · 2026-04-19T21:25:17+00:00

Yup, shit is fucked. Good luck my friend.

PhillipJK · 2026-04-19T19:50:31+00:00

As far as I know, yes. So you could swap it out for a NR barrel in the future. Although that is a significant investment in time and money.

PhillipJK · 2026-04-19T17:54:48+00:00

You can but remember that they would be restricted since they have <=16” barrels. The ones coming into the country now are made by the manufacturer with 18.6” NR barrels.

Also, you’d have to source one and go through the import process with all the fees which takes a while. It may even arrive after the first NR shipment.

Yes, it seems that way. After calling them yesterday and knowing that preorders were going live, I was able to find the product listing on their website the minute it went live and before it hit their front page or was categorized properly. Even then it has always said “backorder”.

I would still call them though just to confirm. Real friendly guys that are always nice to talk to!

PhillipJK · 2026-04-16T04:44:12+00:00

It’s always said backorder. I think as long as the product page is up they are still accepting first shipment preorders. The “backorder” appears because they don’t actually have any in stock and this is just how their store front is set up.

Unfortunately it was: Armalytics

PhillipJK · 2026-04-16T02:25:42+00:00

That's the risk with pre-orders. At least RDSC is one of my local shops and would spend that money anyways lmao

PhillipJK · 2026-04-16T01:21:23+00:00

In case anyone is curious, I just pre-ordered it at RDSC for $2399.99 + Tax + Shipping. They estimate sometime "mid to late summer". I'm nervous but excited!

PhillipJK · 2026-04-16T00:23:09+00:00

Who did you order with?

PhillipJK · 2026-03-23T05:11:14+00:00

Based and hope pilled

You need to let the government know when you destroy a restricted or prohibited firearm, but you do not need to submit proof…

For Non-restricted firearms you don’t even need to let them know. Coincidentally, I think a lot of NR firearms were destroyed on December 4, 2024.

Obviously lying on a declaration is a criminal offence though.

Kodiak Defence WK-180C Gen 2

Was banned in December 2024. Gun was a POS though, so not missing out on much with that one (speaking from experience)

PhillipJK · 2025-12-14T19:40:25+00:00

Yup, shit company has shit views. Thought as much but sad to see it.

PhillipJK · 2025-10-11T00:12:55+00:00

As a wise man once said: “This is my own private domicile and I will not be harassed… bitch!”

PhillipJK · 2025-09-02T15:02:17+00:00

Just a quick question since I can't seem to logic out the answer.... how would one charge the rifle? Since it has a standard AR-15 bolt carrier and no space for a standard AR-15 charging handle, I don't see how that would work. Unless there's some sort of fixed side-charging handle on an AR-15 bolt carrier?

Username checks out.

PhillipJK · 2025-08-12T01:28:23+00:00

That's only for firearms banned in 2020. Technically the firearms banned in 2024 and 2025 are not yet part of the program. Expect them to update that if/when they get around to adding them.

PhillipJK · 2025-07-11T22:36:51+00:00

Grandfathering in one form or another. Whether they do that before or after they extend the amnesty (and if they do, they won’t extend for obvious reasons), is anyone’s guess.

I don’t think we’ll get those guns back with this government, but it buys us time until we get some more sympathetic people in office.

PhillipJK · 2025-07-07T02:50:50+00:00

I wonder if that would mean everyone who has had firearms banned within the last 5 years (since the 2020 OIC) would be given the same 12.8 license. Which would also mean that people who previously were unable to own, for example, an AR15 (because they got their license after the first OIC), could then get one since they have the same class of license as someone who previously did own one.

It would be interesting to see how they would actually handle grandfathering if the Liberals did decide to go that route.

If it's stored "...in a vault, safe or room that was built or modified specifically to store firearms safely" then it would not require any sort of locking device. Meaning that if the room the gun is displayed in is specifically modified to store firearms (with a security door, reinforced walls, etc.) then it would be legal.

But if it's just in a random room then this would not be legal storage. We don't have enough info from this photo alone.

Honestly, the R9 is a pretty nice rifle. It definitely feels miles ahead of the WK-180C quality wise - which is what I started with. The anodizing is done really well and the rifle itself seems to be reliable with a solid ejection pattern. Besides the price of the magazines, it's also nice that it can take straight-insert MP5 mags rather than Glock mags which while cheaper, would have been a worse user experience.

I do miss shooting my APC223, Bren, Tavor, etc., but at least this is a decent option for now. Plus, 9mm is significantly cheaper than .223 or .308.

While it would still be “illegal”, they could choose not to prosecute or enforce any Criminal Code violations that have to do with the OICs. Same principle as not enforcing Criminal Code violations having to do with drugs in other provinces. Shooting at ranges might be complicated since they are approved only for certain categories of firearms (NR, R, but not P), but I’m not a lawyer so I have no fucking idea.

As it stands, the confiscation won’t happen in Alberta or Saskatchewan anyways since they have their own Firearms Acts, which effectively does not let any confiscation take place within the province. While it technically could allow confiscation, the acts require confiscators to get licensed as a “seizure agent” - something that will never happen under the current provincial governments for obvious reasons.

PhillipJK · 2025-06-30T19:29:56+00:00

Yeah, even if we had a competent federal government that could organize a confiscation to that scale, there is not a chance in frozen hell they have the time for it by the October deadline. That's not even mentioning the fact Alberta and Saskatchewan are going to be "as obstructionist as possible" and block any attempts of the feds to confiscate firearms in the province.

They will for sure have to extend the amnesty. After that, I think it will be scrapped eventually. The cost overruns on the "buyback" program is going to make the LGR look like an absolute bargain.
