PP, no truer words have been spoken!! X2 or X3 in agreement. Or the guy who says he's a crack shot on game, while he's trying to find the rounds on target at 100yds. The utmost lame-o excuse for lack of range time I've heard.

Thanks T-star. I think I'll avoid 180s from now on. I'll try a couple sighting in. If they're not duds, I'll use them up hunting and forget about them from now on. Only need one round at a time hunting anyway way. Hopefully won't get any FTFs.

There is a valve just in front of the front ferule on the stock, intended for turning off the gas system when using the rifle in grenade launcher mode. Just turn the valve so that it is parallel to the barrel (has a slotted side and a pin indicator on the other side, make the pin parallel to the barrel) and it won't allow gas into the cylinder.
Now you have a manually operated bolt gun...

scout3006 said:I've heard this a few times, that FMJ's are illegal to hunt with in Ontario. I can't seem to find any pertinent information regarding this in the regulations - nothing is mentioned whatsoever about FMJ bullets.
Also...Found it in the Alberta Reg's pg.16 under "Big Game" heading it is unlawful to... "use" ammunition that contains non-expanding bullets...

on the other hand they're VERY hard to change and seat properly, or so i've found- there's just not enough "meat" for you to hang on to , so i'll typically use a 20/5 properly pinned and not worry about the conservation officer- and carry at least 2 in case you have to make a mag change for whatever reason- same goes for any mag gun- AT LEAST 2 MAGS, typically in a pouch, or in a zippered pocket and nothing else in there with ithorkz said:

I'm curious about what authority a conservation officer has. Can he search your person? For example if he thinks you may have an unpinned mag, electronic call for the wrong species, or something else not permitted by hunting or firearm regulations.
They can definitely check mags being pinned properly. Look at the shotgun example. Everyone knows you can have 5 rounds in a semi shotgun for busting clays, but when you're in the field you're only allowed 3, according to the Ministry.

Yeah, but that's part of the firearm. I'm referring to checking what's in your pockets etc. It just occurred to me that multiple 20/5 mags as suggested above might attract attention even in a pocket, and I wondered how far they are allowed to go when checking you out.
I'm glad they removed that shotgun plug rule for slug hunting (big game of course) in BC.

Can you grab your ankles and cough? In Ontario, the CO's have greater authority to search than a police officer. There are 10 round mags that give you some added meat to hang on to and still look pretty cool. They kinda give you that FN49 look.
I've always had good accuracy with 150 grn winchester ammo,in both my m-14 norc and with my springfield armory M1-a.I would also buy a couple boxes from the same lot number,1 for sighting in one for hunting.hope you have a succesfull hunt take care.
