Canadian Ranger rifles in the Arctic need replacements, don’t work in the cold


Canadian Ranger rifles in the Arctic need replacements, don’t work in the cold

By Emma Tranter

Department of National Defence says replacements will cost $8-10M

Rifles issued to the Canadian Rangers in Canada’s Arctic don’t work properly in the cold — and it’s going to cost millions to fix.

C-19 rifles were distributed to the Rangers, who serve the Canadian Armed Forces in the North, in 2017.

Canada’s Department of National Defence (DND) told CBC News in an email that extreme cold led to the stocks — a part of a gun attached to the barrel and firing mechanism that provides structural support — expanding and contracting. Something the department said Rangers noticed during testing in 2019.

“Following reports from Canadian Rangers after extended field usage in extreme climatic conditions leading to cycles of expansion and contraction in the stock,” Alex Tétreault, a senior communications adviser with DND, wrote.

“This was not observed during initial operational capability training; it only became apparent in the last two months before the end of deliveries.”

Those stocks now need to be replaced and the department estimates that will cost between eight to $10 million.

The department said the C-19 rifle “remains an effective and accurate weapon” and that some of the rifles are still working properly and don’t need replacements.

The procurement process for the new stocks is underway and the delivery of the new stocks will be phased over three years.

Logging In, Security and Old Accounts

Hey All,

Going through messages and the enhanced security has some people flustered.

We increased the security to also include inactive accounts due to the large number of outside hacks that compromised shared passwords. Your login was hacked somewhere else, you used the same password and email combo, they found you here and logged on. That is the majority of the issues beyond the spoofed accounts.

Spoofed accounts were when the scammers used a similar User name changing something small you didn't notice. They see who has things listed in the PX, pick a user and try to clone them as they can. We changed that again to try and prevent it. It's hard, they can add minor things to a user name and make it look similar.

The headache this caused was the worst as then people are reporting the real account, the scammers report the real account and nobody knows who is real and who is a scammers. We get flooded with reports, we then have to watch the real account because every scammed person reports the real user as they think that is the account that scammed them. It;s not

So all hands, we change a ton that also inconveniences real accounts for a minute, sorry it's like the airport, we all have to take our shoes off to check for smelly feet.

Please continue to report any account, especially low post counts that contact you unsolicited.

Lastly, we are manually approving X number posts on new accounts. That means new accounts that post will not immediately appear on the screen. We have a queue for use to clear each hour if we wanted too, but we clear a few times a day. This way we can double check accounts and remove the ones we know are scammers.

If you are using the PX, slow down, take a minute to look at the user name, and especially the post count. It will not match the original poster you actually want to speak too. This is a process and we took at big swing at it. So please be patience. We cleared out a lot, but because they can hack older accounts or ones with passwords found on other places there is really no way to stop them 100%.

Also we can recover hacked accounts so don't assume an older issue is active today because a month ago an account was hacked and today it's being use. We can fix and recover accounts, so again, slow down, look and don't assume.

Thanks for your patience we are working on stuff everyday to enhance security and the experience

It was kinda the same type car so totally justified.
Same type of car ; seen at night several days earlier - his “hunch” lead to a beating and false arrest but damn was he keeping the streets safe.

What can I do with an Air Force N-8A Gunsight? FINISHED

Couldn't resist since it's working. An Air Force N-8a reflx/holographic/heads up gunsight from WWII. Used on M2 .50 machine guns in the B-17. I'm thinking it will go great with my Elysium AK. I'll have to install a dual 9v in series (18v) battery box, probably in the buttstock.

9mm pistol practice ammo

I've got a Bul Ultralight and I got a DSC drop-in barrel with their twin top port comp for it.

I've got a weird issue, tested it and found that the Sig Elite 124gr hollow points are accurate and shoot great, the Hornady 124gr critical duty are accurate and shoot great.

However, I cannot for the life of me find a normal fmj practice round that shoots similar POA/POI.

And one of the odd things with this new barrel combo is how far away one type of ammo may shoot from the next, it has an adjustable rear sight with 3 dashes, one on far left, one in middle, one on far right.

at 25 yards the Hornady critical duty needs to be in the center mark, so, perfect you might say. The Sig Elite needs to be all the way over on the far left hash mark.

And that's actually the most common, the Hornady Critical Duty rounds are really the only ones that shoot with the rear sight centered, most others shoot 12+ inches to the right so the rear sight needs to be moved all the way over to the left. The 115s I just tried were also about 14" low.

Thing is, I'm running about 2 1/2" sized groups at 25yds with both the Hornady critical duty and Sig Elite rounds, this is freehand as I would normally shoot but about 1 second a shot, this is great accuracy for me. I also shot some 3" or so sized groups with a couple of the practice rounds tested.

I've tried multiple 147s, 124s, and a 115 to the tune of about $200 in a bunch of different brands. Just ordered another $180 in 115s, 124s, and 147s to try.


But I'm kind of at a loss because as of yet nothing is close enough to those two great shooting defense rounds, HSTs didn't shoot as well as they did, nothing has, quite frankly, so I'd really love to use one of them.


I'm just wondering if someone has found a similar issue and maybe has some advice, both are 124gr rounds but I've been trying 115s through 147s to try and find a match, ordered some hot 1300fps 115s to try in this next batch too.

Last thing I want is to have to resort to shooting the defense rounds for practice, as I just don't have the money for that.

Firearms Defiance, Proof, tikka, Christensen, Remington

Trying to thin the herd a little more likely will be added!!

Defiance SA Mag blot face. Brand new 825

Proof Carbon 6.5 1-8T 24” finished length. 800

I was planning on a 6.5 SAUM and went a different direction so these two are up for grabs.

Tikka T3x TACT A1
6.5 creedmoor with a 24” barrel shot less than 50 rounds. 2000

Christensen Arms Mesa FFT 6.5 creedmoor shoots less than 1/2” with 140. Shot with Christensens barrel break in procedure shot less than 75 times. 1100

Christensen Arms Mesa FFT 300 PRC shoots under 3/4” with Berger 215 and 225 ELD M. Was shot with a suppressor and Christensens barrel break in. Has been shot less 75 times. Bought this rifle for an elk hunt with a buddy and ended up going a different route (custom). 1100

Remington 742 280 rem with 3 boxes of ammo. I’ve never shot this rifle I got it from an older gentleman. It’s not a safe queen and not priced as such. 500

I also have a Zeus QC 22” proof carbon 300PRC I’d like to trade for a Zeus QC in 7 PRC or 24” 300PRC carbon also. Mine has less than 75 rounds down the barrel.

I can send more pics or specific pics as requested.
Located in Sealy but work in Houston and travel to San Antonio occasionally. Also not opposed to trying to meet up. Prefer FFT but will entertain shipping if it works out.
Willing to negotiate also not opposed to trading.

Thanks for looking!!

Cherokee NC to pay $10 million dollar settlement- or the tax payers of Cherokee will pay $10 million

Login to view embedded media

2022 officers responded to a call about fireworks , possible gun shots and possible hostages in a rural trailer .

When homeowner came outside with hands up - the Cherokee PD opened fire hitting him multiple times - they quickly made up a story about how the event went down and how scared they were of Mr. Andre - but their story did not in any way match the footage from his inside and outside cameras. Because they were fucking lying. After nearly 3 years of legal wrangling the county tax cattle will have to pay him $10 million. No animals were harmed in the making of this video!
