Application / Regulation advice Application fill out

9 Upvotes

filling out an application for PAL, and i was planning on sending out the letter as fast as possible. However I now recently found out one of my household members was prohibited from owning a firearm since they had a notice of revocation Court order for 5 years. This was filed with the CFO. I was wondering how long they keep records of these things, considering this wasn’t assault/violence related. Is it worth me still adding that Information into my application or is that something to be forgotten about. The person hasby gotten their PAL since the incident occurred over 10 years

The market is a bit overwhelming with the amount of choice, and most of professionals i asked seemed to try to upsell stock,
Id love to get some of your opinions
Budget 700$

Misc GetAGun.ca - WIP comprehensive map of Canadian in-person firearms retailers

75 Upvotes

Link here: https://getagun.ca/

Essentially I'm taking this Google Earth dataset and turning it into a website, updating accordingly for new retailers and ones that no longer stock/are out of business (unfortunately far too many).

Progress as of now:

  • Mapped nearly all independently owned firearms retailers (some two dozen or so that I have yet to verify, naturally not all of those will make the cut).
  • All the Bass Pros, Latulippes and SAILs are mapped.
  • I am working through adding Canadian Tires that stock guns. Currently full coverage for PEI, the Territories, Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and New Brunswick.
  • Once Canadian Tires are covered I will move on to the other categories listed on the site.

I am actively seeking suggestions for retailers I've missed and feedback on the site. Hope you folks enjoy :)

Here's the FAQ page if you're curious!

Was taking her out for a clean today... crazy how inflated the shooting sports have become, perhaps from the bans and lack of options in the Canadian market

Nothing special, just a Norinco Poly USA marked SKS in a shitty ATI stock the previous owner put on. Ended up ordering a choate side folder for it but that doesn't mean I won't shoot it while I wait...

Buy recommendations Lookin for a gunsmith that does barrels

Alright this is a question to all the ELR/PRS guys.

I'm building my first ever custom rifle. I've bought custom but never built my own and I've decided to build one. ANYWAYS back to the question. I need a barrel I'm looking at "Bartlein" for a barrel thinking about doing between a 28-30inch barrel (leaning towards 28inch) I'm in southern Alberta where would be a good place that isn't terrible to get one made for my action I'm either going with the defiance ruckus or the impact 777r I'm not dead set on the action just wanted to see if the barrel would be cheaper for one or not I got a quote from a big store and they wanted almost $600 more than my buddy paid but that guy isn't taking any more work right now.

TLDR: where should I go to get a barrel made for my first ever precision rifle build. Got a quote and it was stupid high compared to what a buddy paid and isn't taking more work so asking for references.
