Do you think any MNR officer would have a problem with the mossberg 715t? its a Plinkster in cased in a AR15 plastic shell. The clips look like AR mags. Would it be ok to use? or better off to buy a different one.

My uncles got one. We ran unto MNR in the Holland marsh. No problems at all..
The mags are garbage however..
yes they are i find the spring weak, i purchased a 7 round clip online works great no feed problems.
I would think you'd have to worry about general public and police first. They see anything that resembles an AR platform and the phone starts to ring!

I have one you can hunt with it. I took mine out a few times. Persoanl opinion it's a piece of crap jams all the time and accuracy there is none.
Agreed. I wanted one last year and shot my buddies 715t at the farm. Crap I tell ya. Don't buy one. You will be fixing jams more than shooting. If you want a good 22 pick up a ruger 10/22. Reliable and can be accessorized to the hilt.Quote:

^everything these guys said. You're probably not looking for commentary on the quality of your rifle, but for the amount of headaches an AR-looking rifle might cause, I'd use something else. Personally, I'd suggest a Marlin 795 or Marlin 60 over a Ruger 10/22, but that's me. Reliable enough, just not accurate enough. For close range, it would be fine.
Actually I have encountered both the Police and a CO when I had a Dominion Arms 12 gauge with me. The CO just thought it was an ugly gun. However the Police first tried to claim I had a Prohibited gun. Then when I pointed out that it was registered and wasn't a prohibited weapon he still claimed it was. I happened to have the receipt as well and told him let's call the Boy's in BC and get this business busted. Then he told me he felt it should be prohibited,, anyways long story short I left with the gun. He also let me off the speeding charge and missing front plate charge.:)

I think you would create attention and alarm with the general public. There is enough miss-understanding between the general public and hunters. Collectively it is up to all of us not to make the situation worse. That's my 2 cents.Quote:

Then why even bother buying one. Essentially your saying nobody should have these as others will get "Scared".

The last thing you want is someone to see the dead animal(s)... Also make sure you don't use any lightweight gun. With any sort of adjustable stock.. Or a rail that you could easily mount an optic to.. Its not hunting if your arms and shoulders aren't sore from lugging a double barrel shotgun around all day..Quote:

I have other, more accurate .22s that I would hunt with, but if it's what you want to take to the field with, have at it.
Hunting laws (and the provincial government) have nothing to do with how the RCMP and Federal government decide to classify firearms. They are entirely seperate. Different levels of government who dont discuss the matters at all.Quote:

Heads up on the 25 Rd. Mag for the 715t.. Heard on another forum that this magazine is going to be prohibited as Mossberg has designed a pistol that will fit this magazine.. No official words, but you can't get the 25rd any more.. And Mossberg has sent out a letter.

Sorry about the quality. J didn't take the pic.
Much hue and cry over at CGN over this.Quote:

My son has been bugging me for an AR style stock for our 10/22 which we quite often use at the farm. STI makes a nice one but I have resisted for the very reason so many have stated already. We don't need the extra attention. I have thought about getting a .22 cal conversion kit or completely new upper for our Bushmaster 5.56 to save on ammo costs at the range. Has anyone tried any of these? Any suggestions? The gun is still restricted with the kit so is it really worth it?
Of course it isn't.Quote:
