I'm not familiar with the mossberg rifles, only thing I ever owned from them was the 500 pumps.

I was at a store years ago and held some sort of mossberg rifle, seemed ok.

Granted that's a Mossberg rep but most people seem to like them.

Fucking ITAR!

So with the recent-ish release of the Ruger GP100 in .22, they've brought back the classic rubber with rosewood inserts grips:

Except, I can't order them because..."terrorism".

Some in the mail...Ems them to you...

I want a 22 bolt action rifle. All I have is a 10/22. Seems like a bolt 22 with a fixed power scope would b a good "survival" gun. I've been thinking about the American because it seems like you could use the empty space in the stock to keep like 10-20 extra rounds, a lighter, maybe fishing line/hooks, a bandage, a few plastic bags and some iodine tabs fairly easily.

You could probably fit all of that into a ziplock bag and sort of wedge it in there, put the spacer/riser back on and it would t even rattle around in there.

The grips.

I already know that the Boyd's Tacticool stock is prohibited for export, as stupid as it is; because of the name, but fucking grips? Do they think I can build my own pistol, piece-by-piece, so don't let the Canadian order fucking grips online? I get prohibiting export of very integral components, like trigger groups, sears, firing pins, etc. but grips?!?!?!?!

Remind me to give the fucktards who came up with this shit, shit when they end up on my side of the line.

That's ridiculous, a rubber grip is illegal...well like I said, I won't be back for another year or so but I could send some to you....I guess the whole "I didn't know" thing wouldn't work since your like a border agent....I hat those laws though.

I can't take them out of the US, but I would encounter no problems bringing them into Canada. That said, gotta lead by example; can't uphold laws if I don't follow them myself.

What if somebody brought them to Canada? Not that I would go to Canada just for that but I have family there. So like what if I went to visit then dropped them in the mail?

Just curious how the law works.

Btw, I used to take the wood panels out of sp101 and old gp100 grips and make my own panels out of elk horn.

I made these:

Anything that's legal to own in Canada, can be brought into Canada. That said, if a Border Services Officer sees grips, they'll probably rip through the vehicle looking for the rest of the gun.

If CBP happens to set and export check on the day you decide to do that, and they rip through your vehicle and find ITAR items enroute to another country; I can't speak to specifics, but excpect a legal foot up the ass.

What about personal ups/fedex/dhl? Do they tear open small packages to check stuff. I've sent alcohol to places that you aren't allowed to ship alcohol to and never had an issue.

I couldn't answer what happens on your side of the border. I can tell you that, if I worked in the postal stream, it would be held for determination.

Ultimately, what it comes down to is a) shopruger.com won't accept payment from a Canadiam credit card, b) if some how I was caught on my way out of the US with ITAR stuff, not only would CBP fuck me hard and deep, I'd likely lose my job here.

There is the commercial route, from my understanding, firearms businesses can export some ITAR stuff from specific FFLs with DHS or ATF permission (not too sure which) but it will cost an arm and a testicle because they'll charge brokerage fees. Not worthwhile for a pair of grips.

Fuck that. Just cut somebody a break on my behalf for drugs and I say what goes around comes around. I unaware of any law barring me from sending some grips to a friend in Canada. Coincidentally I encountered a stupid situation where Botach won't ship me regular capacity ar15 mags even though they're legal here. The rep claimed it to be some LA city or county ordinance coming into play. The bitch of things is that Colorado is my work-around but those dummies neutered it down to 15 rounds after Aurora. All I can say is it's good to have friends all over.

PM me if you want to work something out.

So the GoPro Hero 4 Session's price dropped to "not retarded" a while back and I finally got around to getting one. Kill cam v2.0:

I got a ruger au we Blackhawk 454 casull with a 6.5" barrel a few months ago.

Had my dad send it off today to Bowen custom for sort of an enhancement package. They said they could even cut the barrel to 5.5 inches but I told them to leave it 6.5 because I want to take advantag of the full house 454 rounds and also, I already got a double diamond Alaskan guide holster made for the gun.

 

[DevilsLettuce]

Glock 23 in FDE and a KKM .40-9mm barrel with Trijicon HDs and a LW connector. Maybe an XD Mod2.

Anybody have any experience with freedom arms revolvers? They look swee, I'm all interested in big bore single actions these days and I'd like to hunt with them at some point.

I've always known about freedom arms but never really looked into them.

They are expensive but they seem like basically a custom gun, lots of caliber choices, barrel length choices and other options.

I don't think I'd get any of the crazy big bore cartridges like 475 linebaugh or 500 Wyoming express but maybe a 454 casull.

I'm wondering because I got a ruger super Blackhawk bisley 454 (5 shot) witch was about 750 dollars, it's been sent to Bowen customs for some work which is another 900 bucks, so 1650 in for the ruger, I could have had a freedom arms for ~ 2000 bucks.

Shit this is just what I needed, I was hoping to be done buying for a bit.

So, still looking at scopes and wonder if I should grab this instead due to weight and the fact that the Viper PS-T is awesome but I don't really need an illuminated scope.

And I just compared them... NVM... it's a weight difference of an ounce and the PS-T gives me exposed tactical turrets and the illumination option. All I would need to purchase is lens covers if I wanted them.
