Better. Why do you want a combo gun? They are heavy, each barrel has a different POI and they are generally heavy.

I have one of these: https://www.corwin-arms.com/product/ricol-20-1650-chrome-short-over-single-trigger

I love the gun. Built solid, small, and gets the job done on grouse and I have even shot a few good rounds of trap with it. :lol: I keep slugs in a pouch on the butt stock and bird shot in my pocket.

If you really want another calibre and don;t care much about POI, then get one of these in your choice: http://www.shotgunadapter.com/

I'm not a fan of 1911's in particular but this is a cool showing how one works.

Does anyone know of somewhere around the Vancouver that will let you challenge the test to get your PAL/RPAL?

I would like to get that taken care of one of these times I'm back home so that I can keep my guns (well, most of them) if I ever repatriate.

That's the problem with cities, they're refuges for the weak, the fish that didn't evolve.

I don't want to google this - sounds like a thing that NSMB will be better at.

Bad news for you - when the Cons passed the Common Sense Firearms Bill C-42, part of that Bill included mandatory training and that means no one can challenge the course anymore. You have to sit in a one-day class for your non restricted licence and another 8 hour day for your restricted licence.

Damn.

Guess I'll have to schedule a trip home around when the classes offered.

Any recomendations for places that offer the PAL/RPAL over a single weekend.

A couple of friends and I just did our RPAL/PAL through a guy named Mike Kornitsky. He'll come to your house for a group of 2 or more. $160 for both and we had it done in an evening + a morning of review/testing.

This thread has been a good distraction while I wait for the paper work!

I believe Americans can get a PAL, I have heard hunters mention it that come up here to hunt often.

Yeah - it was this fact that sent me down the route of getting my PAL. I'd thought it was Citizens only, but around the brouhaha of the LGR discovered that pretty much anyone that wants one can get a PAL.

You can get your permits for the US to hunt and stuff , works both ways but are a real headache .

None of the guys from Silvercore cross the border with their own personal firearms when they compete in the 3 gun competitions , they said it,s a huge headache . I asked when we did our course .

You can only cross at one crossing , you have to call ahead , spend hours explaining your reasons for crossing , account for every shell casing etc .

My buddy does the western shooting and he won,t cross with his firearms either for events and such .

I will have to ask my uncle he has traveled a fair amount to hunt , I know he is heading back to Africa in a few months , not sure if he uses his own rifles .

It would seem that the wait was worth it; my CZ 527 in 7.62x39 showed up today after three weeks touring around the country with Canada Post. The dining room now smells like Ballistol and it is now sparkling clean. From the few dry fires, the trigger is CZ crisp and the set trigger is very light - we'll see how that works at the range.

Edit - tried it on my trigger scale and it has no creep and breaks at 2.5 lbs. The set trigger breaks at 1 lbs. This is going to be a fun shooter.

The walnut is naturally quite dark but the flash pics really show the grain.
