Another "Old Army Rifle."

toxic111, You have my sympathy for the exercises you must endure in order to have firearms. I need clarification on the restricted firearms. Are handguns with barrels of 4" or longer NOT restricted? I can understand the full auto, but handguns with barrels of less than 4" would mean I could only shoot my S&W Model 60 with a 3" barrel on a range.
It is my constant companion, unless I feel the need for something with more horsepower.

Adam,

I just started an interest in older military rifles. Usually I was just looking for things to sporterize, in fact I still do.

Although I do appreciate the firearms, I will probably never use one for the range for two reasons, one: I truly am pathetic with open sights, my eyes are not up to the task. Two:I do not reload, and getting the ammo for the Russian and other old communist block weapons, is expensive for the quality of what you buy.

But I am still 'on the bubble' for getting a British .303 But I haven't the knowledge or correct tools to check the barrel’s condition. But I do like the feel of a basic Enfield.

But just FYI, Timney Triggers produces for the Mosin Nagant now.

But please keep posting.

All handguns are restricted in Canada. Handguns with barrels less than 4" are prohibited, and we can't own them. It does suck. I do own 2 handguns, but to enjoy them I am off to my local range.
