Yes, cutting down the barrel or stock of the 870 will not effect either safety or function of the weapon. But if all you want to do is make it shorter for the breaching, it can be done without having to cut anything. I can order pistol grips or folding stocks to replace the stock to make it...

Weapons modifications are a big NO, and that's right from the LCMM's in Ottawa. They dont want to see it done, and they dont want it done to any weapon. Those are the orders that we Weapons Techs have to follow. But, I can only speak for myself when I say this, I dont not see any problem with...

They would be having problems trying to fire 40 x 53mm High Velocity Grenades out of the M203 that was designed to only fire 40 x 46 mm Low Velocity Grenades.

Now someone correct me if I am wrong, but the WES laser transmitter that is used on the C7, C9 and C6 all have the same clamp on them so as to mount them on the barrel just forward of the front sights on all 3 of these weapons. If that is so, then they should be able to mount it on the barrel of...

I cant comment on the matchstick thing, because I dont know how its done. The FN C1A1 was taken out of mainstream service with the CF once the C7 came into service and yes a large number where disposed of (this brings a tears to my gun plumbers eye's because it was and still is a great rifle)...

(1) No we did not buy the WES calibration kit for the FN C1,but that's something that can be worked around. (2) There are still small numbers of FN C1's being held by the CF and spare parts for them. (3) I have never done the matchstick technique on the FN C1 nor would I re comend it to any...

OK lets say we bring the FN C1A1 out of storage in small numbers for OPFOR use. We use the C2A1 30rd mags to give it the same capacity as the AK-47 (the weapon of choice by are friends in the sandbox). For ammo its just 7.62mm blank, and we have lots of that in the system and when that blank is...

Looking for some feedback into if OPFOR on Ex here in Canada should be using weapons other then the C7 family. My reason for asking is we are all so familiar to the the sound of the C7 being fired with blanks that we tend not to react to it very well to it. Maybe if we use a different weapon...

I can't see a military use for this item. 1. Not every place on this planet has large amounts of fresh water to fill these things, but there will always be sand or dirt to fill sandbags. 2. Sandbags can be filled much faster than these things can. 3. How do these things hold up to bullet...

This is true, my bad, but I have never seen it before.

One other thing, I saw a few combat arm types walking around here in flightsuits. Me think door gunners?

Wes, correct if I am wrong, but any .50 HMG that I have seen for use in aircraft has had a lighter barrel, barrel shroud, Hydraulic buffer and a light weight bolt. This make the weapon lighter and also increases the rate of fire.

OK guys this is a long shot for me putting this on the forums so here it goes. I am looking for ammunition, reloading dies, boxer primers, bullet moulds and anything I can get my hands on for a .577cal Snider-Enfield rifle. Now I know there has to be some gun nuts on this forum, so if you...

Anyone have any info on how the trials are going ???

OK, so some units have gotten there issue and units going to the A'stan are getting are getting them and there is some sort of schedule out there, so if someone knows what the schedule is can they post it for all to see.

OK lets bring this topic back to life. Is there any word yet when the first line unit are going to get the new CADPAT raingear???

George I will confirm this this tomorrow, but what I can remember from my QL5 Weapons Tech course is that calibre in the Arty world is the length of the barrel measured by the diameter of the projectile it fires. So for the PzH 2000 it has a 155mm/52 calibre barrel this means the barrel...

I have one question ??? Who is going to be doing the maintenance on the M134D? As a Weapons Tech land, I would love to get that course and work on them, but I think its going to be a Airforce job :crybaby:. Anyone care to wager a guess?

Trade ADATS for them, at least CASW will get used on OPs. (  ;D Sorry 4AD, there are no magic carpets to shoot down over there ;D )

I am trying to find out who the Suggestion Award Program co-ordinator or committee is at CFB Gagetown, My CoC is not quite sure who it is because they have not had to deal with this program in the past. Any help or info on this matter would be great.
