Valtro PM-5 Review
So far, this is just an initial review. This particular Valtro PM-5 is second-hand and I haven’t used it enough to give it a long term reliability report. The shotgun has some allure for 3 gun competition in Canada because it’s magazine-fed and uses large, 7 round magazines. If you fumble with reloading a tube with shotshells,…

TulAmmo 308 Winchester 150 grn FMJ Review
Most of the 308 in my area is right around $1/cartridge. Even PMC 147 grn FMJ is $18.99 per box of 20. So when I found Tula available online at $12/box, or a bit less if you buy more, I wanted to try some. It’s very similar in price to the Norinco 147 grn FMJ…

C-Products Defense 50 Beowulf Magazines
**Update June 4, 2015: The RCMP has rattled some of the other importers on this magazine enough where they won’t be bringing them in. If you don’t want to risk it, don’t buy these mags.** ***Update Nov 18, 2015: The RCMP considers these “dual use” magazines and considers them prohibited. Read more here.*** C-Products Defense,…

Tula Ammo Canada
You may have noticed TulammoCanada on CanadianGunNutz or in other places. It’s super cheap, steel-cased, non-corrosive ammo from Russia. Within my Service Rifle matches and 3 gun matches, it always bothered me that I was throwing away ~100 well-prepped, reloaded brass cases with every match. For 223 ammo, you’ve got to resize, remove the primer…

Stainless Rifles for Hunting
Stainless steel rifles, sometimes called “All-Weather Rifles”, offer better weather protection than standard blued barrels and actions. If you hunt where it rains, or if you bring rifles in out of the frigid cold and have to deal with condensation, they can keep rust away and keep your rifle looking great without having to be…

Remington 1100 Review
The Remington 1100 is an older, gas-operated, semi-automatic shotgun. Even though the design is a bit outdated, it’s still in use today and there are TONS of used ones out there. Produced since 1963, the 1100 is well known for helping to reduce recoil due to its gas-operated action, and for its reliability. . .most…

Steyr Scout Review
And now, for something completely different. While I have been doing a lot of reviews on budget bolt action rifles, here’s a decidedly non-budget, yet still utilitarian bolt action rifle. Here in Canada, the Steyr Mannlicher Scout clocks in at around $2,500 while in the US, it goes for around $2,000. And while I’m not…

LAR-15 Magazines in Canada
LAR-15 magazines are pistol magazines designed to take (10) rounds of .223 or 5.56x45mm. Normally, semi-automatic rifle magazines are limited to 5 rounds but because this magazine was designed for a pistol (the RRA LAR-15), it can take 10 rounds. You can use these magazines in your STANAG-compatible rifle such as your Norinco T97, AR15,…

ISSC MK22 SCAR Review
The ISSC MK22 is an Austrian-made semi auto 22LR rifle that looks very similar to the SCAR family of rifles. I reviewed this rifle 4 years ago, but Blue Line Solutions reached out and let me know they worked with ISSC to update the rifle and improve reliability. So, the rifle has been tweaked for…

Henry US Survival Rifle (AR-7) Review
Henry US Survival Rifle (AR-7) Another niche rimfire rifle. While the Henry U.S. Survival Rifle is similar in price to the Henry Classic Lever Action 22, the design reflects a completely different purpose. The Armalite AR-7 Explorer that the Henry is based on was originally designed as a pilot’s survival weapon. Packed away in its…
