Yes, I can imagine they would.

I thought so.

The National Match model was set up solely for wad cutter target loads for match shooting. I'd guess for lower recoil in the timed and rapid fire parts of the course. I'd bet you'd batter the gun up...

Yea, you are right in that the Colt National Match made for the 38 Special wad cutter loads was nowhere near as popular as the S&W Model 52 in the same calibre. That is, at least in my neck of the...

My guess is that you would probably have to go to a war zone to find more firearms per capita than in the US.

Similar though not quite as severe a run around in Canada. I sent my PAL, Possession and Acquisition License, renewal in 2 1/2 months before it expired via registered and signed for mail. I know they...

I have to say that I had an original Belgian made Browning T Bolt with the lighter sporter weight barrel back in the day. However, I don't recall it grouping quite that well at 100 yards. Lovely...

Yupper, that seems to be the universal North American hunter. I don't know about now but years ago the favourite calibre for moose seemed to be the 300 Win mag and many times in a...

I used to load for, iirc, 22 Hornet, 6.5X57, 6.5X54 MS, 280 Ross, 303 British, 308 Win, 30-06, 8X57 Mauser, 338 Win Mag, 375 H&H and 444 Marlin. Sold most of the reloading gear some time ago.

The Colt I get nostalgic over is the Python. It was one of the first pistols I bought when I got into handgun shooting in the early 70s. The fit and finish was top notch. The bluing was to die for as...

Yes, possibly Montagnards?

You are a young pup then. The real tankers were in Centurions. :angel: The old joke was that he was in the army when centurion was a rank not a tank.

Bob

Yes, the CIA did supply ammo to clandestine operations using ammo with foreign head stamps. Thanks for the thought on sending one but I have been out of shooting for a long time now. I'm just an old...

Yes, come to think of it we also only loaded 30 rounds in a Sterling mag for the same reason. Sterlings and Hi Powers were issued to naval boarding parties with the FNC1 not being too handy in the...

Anyone looking for hot shooting surplus 9mm ball should look for Canadian 9mm ball ammo. They came in boxes of 64 rounds each as the Sterling SMG had 32 round mags. If they could operate the blowback...

The only experience I have with a 1911 type pistol was owning and shooting an AMT Hardballer when they first came out. It had a jamming problem caused by the use of similar stainless steels in the...

Yea, Ontario has seasons for bow only and black powder for moose and deer. They are normally before the regular season starts so you get the tail end of the rut for moose as a bonus.

Bob

I have not bought ammo in about 20 years so decided to do a web search of what the prices are like in Canada. Like everywhere else, the prices in Canada were more than sticker shock to me. Compared...

Ah, no not in this case as I based it on the US Gallon or 3.8 Litres. Gas costs roughly 50% more in Canada than the US. But wait there's more, price increases still coming on both sides of the...

The only bright side is that is $1.05 US a litre and not the $1.54 US a litre we are paying. I know it still hurts anyway though.

Bob

IIRC, in 1969 when I began driving (legally) a gallon (4.5 L) cost between $0.45 and $0.50 CAD or 10 cents a litre for premium gas. Keep in mind the the Canadian dollar was at par or slightly more...

Won't argue that point. Interesting link to see what Europe or the rest of the world pays.

You know, I never thought about ethanol in gasoline until now. Apparently your best best, not guaranteed, to find no ethanol added in Canada is to buy Premium grade. Most all other grades have 10%...

Yes, I understand fully why they did it.

I don't care what level of government appears to be trying to buy my vote as there ain't no such thing as a gift horse from any level of government.

To have and buy, PAL
