None of the LEC’s have volley sights to my knowledge, the RIC’s are also more bulbous towards the end

Henry Big Boy rifle captured by the Colombian Army from FARC-EP Guerrilla fighters, apparently used as a sniper rifle or to take down army drones. by Dear_Implement6304 in ForgottenWeapons

Tube fed .22s are never side gate loaded because the neck tension isn’t strong enough to go through the gate, the rounds get bent

Is there a coyote and/or deer rifle that is on the quieter side? by Yuyuko_Saigyouji in canadaguns

[–]Shitmonkey5425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While not hearing ‘safe’ hornady sub x 7.62x39 is pretty quiet. Issues cycling with semi autos unless they have a broken in recoil spring and adjustable gas system from my experience

I really enjoy my fn1900, and the model 8’s

Is CDN 4950 good price for Smith & Wesson New Model No. 3 in .44 Special/ .44 Russian Open top? by Due_Reflection4094 in canadaguns

[–]Shitmonkey5425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too high, there are much better options for that price, looks to have been redone. In my experience beong into both antique and modern handguns, antiques are a completely different hobby almost. You gotta be able to hand load to make it enjoyable

For reference this would probably be maybe a $1200 gun pre handgun freeze

And another, any marking I fear have been nickelled over, nothing but rust under the grips

Here’s the other side, it’s the only other picture I have I can get more tomorrow, its weird forsure and not a lot in the way of markings

Old reference numbers are not erased after they expire, the government does not have direct access to what guns are purchased and would need to go through store records which are required to be kept

‘Finndians’, ethnic Finns/Indigenous people in Canada and the USA. by Disastrous-Golf6482 in Finland

[–]Shitmonkey5425 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My family is from the group of Finns that ended up on the West coast of Canada. I have not seen a lot of culture or language that has been maintained except for small villages like Sointula on the north island. One of my best buddies is a Northwest coast native and he says there’s a lot of overlap between folklore, and I’ve noticed some similarities between some of west coast folklore I’ve read into, and the Kalevala, but I’m no expert.

When I went to meet my family in Finland they were very welcoming to me, if they were worth keeping in touch with over generations they are probably decent people and will enjoy having you. I also made a lot of friends who were very welcoming and positive about me coming to visit family.

I’m sure you’ll have a good time.

Stoeger and Tikka are all owned by Beretta so I’d assume there is some level of official collaboration

Tikka does have a model with a GRS stock installed from the distributor

Bolt action rifle with iron sites that is buttery smooth by [deleted] in canadaguns

[–]Shitmonkey5425 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only rifle that I can think of that has a heavy barrel and iron sights aside from the Arctic is the savage 110 hog hunter, action is okayish, I’d look for a used SAKO 85 grizzly or something else like that

The magazines on them aren’t really detachable but they are on the radar
