    Forum Update: Migration from vBulletin to XenForo

    Could not post a news item with link. "Oops we ran into some problems" error.

    New look

    Before, there was a handy button right at the first page called "New Posts". That showed the updates on any forum section. The first thing you might try is "New Topics", but that won't include old ones with follow ups. I think the equivalent of "New Posts" Are these two items highlighted in...

    [SFRC] Talley Scope Rings and Mounts on theammosource.com

    Good rings. I had trouble with a Remington 700 style of configuration. Two of the screws were too long for the rear and would contact the bolt. Once filed down it was workable.

    BACK IN STOCK - Derya TM22s

    I would think FDE falls out of vogue since Afghanistan and Iraq are no longer major theatres of operation for those identifying with operator chic.

    That's why my contribution to that thread was a $2 spring from Numrich.

    PAL renewal question

    The first time I received that paper with the PAL glued on, I treated it like the paper that has one's bank card would be glued to. I didn't read the paper, I took my ID card off it and threw it away. I thought my registration of certain firearms covered what basis there was for me owning...

    Please enable HTML Across The Board

    If any and all HTML was allowed, it would allow injecting all sorts of mayhem into this site. That's why. There's client side code via javascript and sucking in "include" code from remote sites. Entire libraries of code could be injected into a web page, and it would be a mess to sort out...

    Got my RPAL/PAL now what?

    Toronto is going to be a long drive to anywhere you can hunt or do long range target shooting. If you've never hunted before, you need another course on that. The hunting course can be done online, and really it's mostly about safety and good behaviour, not how to actually hunt. You should...

    Total newbie questions for Nova Scotia gun ownership.

    Reality is, you're months away from having that 9MM, so you can wait until you are living here to do the shopping. First thing you need to do after moving here is schedule for a PAL class. https://www.safetyservicesns.ca/restricted-firearms-safety Click on the View Schedule link to see where...

    Total newbie questions for Nova Scotia gun ownership.

    If you are unaware of the classes of firearms, there might be a learning curve about our laws. http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/firearms/classes-firearms If you prefer to watch a video rather than read, it is discussed here: https://youtu.be/ewseb59lLzk

    Safe storage at home?

    Stew answered the question for the status quo of the law. Some of the people posting to the question seem to be unaware the laws on storage are supposed to change sometime in the current Trudeau mandate, assuming they stay in power long enough. It was mentioned in the mandate letter to the...

    Safe storage at home?

    I would think it best to wait for any actual law change if someone was considering buying a safe or cabinet now. The future legal requirements could render any purchase made today inadequate, depending on what they expect.

    Transfer certificate or Registration needed for transport?

    If the paperwork "from the retailer" is sufficient, then why is the second registration mailed from Miramachi? Here's why: they need confirmation the address on file is current. I could claim to live anywhere and receive by email a transfer notice for the retail to home trip. Also the first...

    Transfer certificate or Registration needed for transport?

    I would recommend a fresh posting for that question. This thread has been about licensing and restricted registration. Not trying to kill your buzz. Just don't want to see this discussion become very unfocused - everyone will have an opinion on their favorite 9mm ammo.

    Transfer certificate or Registration needed for transport?

    Under special conditions for the second RPAL, you would find: "Transport of restricted firearms and/or prohibited handguns (12(6.1)) possessed for the purpose of target practice to and from all shooting clubs and ranges approved under section 29 of the Firearms Act." These conditions are NOT...

    Transfer certificate or Registration needed for transport?

    It certainly isn't grey area if this is the first registration with an RPAL. After registration of the first restricted, a second RPAL license card is sent out with revised conditions. Those revised conditions include taking it out for the range trip. We don't have ATT papers anymore, they...

    Transfer certificate or Registration needed for transport?

    It depends on backlog. It's sent from a different place. In my case they have my email address so the transfer cert is sent there. I've found it is normally within 2 weeks in my region. It's going to be slower this time of the year due to Christmas mail volume. The CFO likely would tell you...

    Congrats on HTTPS

    https:// works but it isn't being pushed onto us by a Redirect. I just changed my protocol from nothing to https:// in chrome and it works. The next stage is to make it redirect to https:// for anything.
