Hello all,
I don’t post very often, but I have been a member here since 2007 and I try to visit daily. These forums have been very valuable to me; I’ve learned a great deal and I appreciate the opportunity to access this resource.
I know there are numerous members from Canada that visit the forums on a regular basis, and I thought it would be a good idea to create a specific Canada section in this “Regional / Local Discussions” area. I contacted the forum admins and they supported the idea, so here we are. Thank you M4arc and VA_Dinger!
This area will allow us to discuss issues specific to our region as well as organize training groups with tactically like-minded individuals.
It could be a good source of information on hard to get parts (now that flash-hiders, barrels under 16" or with 5.56 chambers, and collapsible stocks are being targeted again), ammo, etc.
It will also mean that we can have some good discussions without the XCR/Norc fanboys chiming in to say how superior or as-good-as their guns are.
In fact, I would suggest that anyone who uses the words/phrases “XCR”, “Norinco”, “fit and finish”, or “upper-lower wobble” should be instantly banned.
If anyone is coming East (not Ontario, that’s not East; I mean stopping just before you get to the pond), and wants to go to a range, PM me, and I can take you if I am available. You bring the ammo, I’ll supply the hardware.
We definitely need to start using this part of the forum more, I am fed up with all the garbage I have seen in the Black Rifle section of CGN.
Sorry, can’t help with the plate carrier.
We should see if we can get some stickies at the top of this section for Canadian specific stuff. Maybe one for WTT, WTS, WTB, and one for training courses and gun shows?
At first I wondered why we would have a Canadian only section but then I realized that it’s a good way to keep ourselves up to date on goings on that our other M4 brothers may not really want to hear about!
It seems that I’ve read stuff by or seen the the other Canadians who are here!
For those who are interested, we have a bunch of up-coming courses in Ontario.
I am not certain, we would have to look at the locals in this part via CGN or other sites to see if they would be interested. From what I have seen posted, all course offered in Alberta sell out very quickly.
As for who would instruct the course, I am thinking maybe the Magpul guys? Noveske?
Courses in the Lower Mainland seem to be pretty popular too. I’ve heard SouthNarc from here on M4C will be here come June 2012. I definitely hope I’ll be able to attend that. I can throw up a post on Canadian Black Rifle Mag if there is enough interest. Just drop me and the rest of us here a line at canadianblackriflemag@yahoo.ca
