    Non Restricted Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCC) in Canada

    In the same vein as my top non restricted rifles in Canada, I thought I’d make one dedicated to PCC rifles that are NR in Canada. Important for us in Canada: it can’t be based on an AR15 or it’ll be restricted, and pistol mags are better as they’re limited to 10 in Canada instead…

  • Type 81 Review

    Type 81 Review

    The T81SA is a semi-automatic only version of China’s Type 81. As such, it’s a gas-operated, semi-automatic, magazine-fed rifle in 7.62×39. The Type 81 uses a short stroke gas piston setup and they were very rare outside of China, until now. Tactical Imports had these made by Poly Technologies in China and imported into Canada.…

  • Pimp Out My Kel Tec SUB-2000

    Pimp Out My Kel Tec SUB-2000

    So Kel-Tec SUB-2000 is a really interesting gun, super compact, and it’s lots of fun shooting a PCC in 9mm. BUT, the trigger was kinda poo and overall it seems cheap. I asked M*Carbo if they’d be able to send me some trigger stuff and they sent me the whole bunch of Sub-2000 parts to…

  • Recap on 2017

    My 2017 was pretty busy at work, so video and articles came in bursts. Nothing showed that as well as my Christmas rate run on articles and videos, where I was really pumping them out. Compared with summer, where I was basically MIA: out doing 3 gun, pistol training courses, or work. Hunting Gear Guy…

  • Savage B.Mag HB Review

    Savage B.Mag HB Review

    Back when I did my initial review on the Savage B.Mag 3 years ago, I found the accuracy to be. . . really lacking, to the point where I didn’t see the point. I tried many things to resolve the accuracy issues and none worked. I know that some guys get great accuracy out of their…

  • Gletcher M712 Full Auto BB Gun Review

    Gletcher M712 Full Auto BB Gun Review

    The Mauser C96 is a pretty iconic German pistol that used stripper clips to load from the top like contemporary rifles of the time instead of using a detachable magazine. It was designed in the early days of semi automatic pistols when they didn’t really know what’d work great and what was a bad idea.…

  • Browning AB3 Review

    Browning AB3 Review

    The AB3 is Browning’s hat in the ring on an inexpensive bolt action rifle. It combines components cheaper than their more premium X-Bolt (X-Bolt review here) while still offering some of the premium Browning features. How does it fit in the crowded budget bolt action rifle market with the Remington 783, Savage Axis II, Ruger…

  • Savage 93F

    Savage 93F

    Goes for $300-$450 depending on model in Canada, and about $300 in the US. Unless you guys really, really, really want me to do an article on this one, I’m skipping. I wrote an article on the Savage 93R17 already, which is basically the same beast. Video review on Savage 93 22WMR

  • Savage Axis II Review

    Savage Axis II Review

    I bought my first Savage Axis about a decade ago. Since then, they came out with the Savage Axis II, a version of the Axis that comes with the much better Accutrigger and a better scope on their package rifles. The Axis continues to be a combination of design-for-manufacturing speed as well as best use of…

  • Kel-Tec SUB-2000 Gen 2 Review

    Kel-Tec SUB-2000 Gen 2 Review

    The Kel-Tec SUB-2000 is a folding, semi-automatic, pistol caliber carbine (PCC). Back in 2012, I did a review of the 1st generation of the Kel-Tec SUB-2000 PCC. With a slimmer forend that comes with rails on the top and bottom, generation 2 of the Sub-2000 is a handier, more flexible firearm. The enlarged ejection port…
