Bingo. Yesterday's ban added another $9000 to my total of banned firearms the government has left in my safe. This brings the total up to around $75,000 (inclusive of the handguns I can no longer sell). No more guns for this guy until we have a conservative government.

The Liberals should have to pay storage and interest.

This is not true.

The Libs are pushing for legislation that a firearm must have a valid FRT.

There is no such legislation.

May not be - but she- The DMin. made the statement at the news conference - I wouldn't trust it now.

But, if your store still sells an R9 to you, then it's okay right? Wow what a thought lol

And compensation for lost enjoyment of property.... It's a bit shocking that even the idea of a mass private property asset "freeze" for "the proported greater good" , with no compensation, doesn't alarm more Canadians.

It's baby steps, then the next thing the Govt is seizing bank accounts of non violent dissidents and protesters with Flags..... protesting for bodily autonomy and freedom from health mandates for Canadians..... it all sort of sounds like wild consiracy , sad that it's now our history.

I agree.

The average Canadian won’t care until it affects them.

Just a preference thing. Imo I think it absolutely destroyed the aesthetics of the rifle.

You haven't handled the thing or even seen it in person. :rolleyes: Maybe reserve judgement till you have done both?

the possibility of all new firearms requiring an FRT. There was nothing about this being retroactive for existing firearms.

THIS. People need to actually read what was said / printed. They specifically said, "new" firearms. The R9 isn't new in those terms.


Can-down said:
That was my first reaction, but I'm coming around on it.... I think the biggest factor would be handling it and see how the lighter profile of the barrel feels.

The rifle handles very well and the lightened barrel is a stroke of genius for that.

It's a simple blowback - so yes as a lefty, you are going to get a bit of gas and potentially debris (unburnt powder) to varying degree from almost nothing to some depending on the ammo you use.
Wear eye pro.

I did not experience any noticeable blowback into my face and I am operating under worst possible conditions for that.

You're not getting hot brass flying back and burning your bare skin?

When I fire this rifle in a short sleeve I definitely get bits of hot brass coming through the slotted part of the barrel and burning my arms and the off hit to the face.
 
I'll fire in short sleeve next time. find it hard to believe with the slotted barrel way up there. i like my r9 and my brother and nephew are left handed and no complaints from them. Waiting for another R9 for them now. Only complaint is where the trigger upgrades!!!!!

As a lefty, I have had no issues with ejecting brass or anything from the barrel

Hot Gas would be annoying enough, but hot Brass going down the barrel is very strange..... maybe it's unburned powder somehow deflecting back off the vents, that's a pretty severe deflection though to hit you in the face.

WHUT? Are you an orangutan? You know you aren't supposed to hold onto the end of the barrel?

There is absolutely no possibility that brass is coming out of the ports in the hollow section of the barrel. How would that even happen?
