Get ready for our 2014 Canada Store Christmas Boxing Weekend Sale with Free Shipping on All orders!
It has been way too long since I got to go to the gun range and shoot my "big boy" guns! I say that sarcastically, sure my real steel guns are fun to shoot but it sure costs a lot of money and basically all we really do is shoot paper targets. Shooting at papper targets is fun for a while but I kind of enjoy shooting my airguns at pretty much any type of target I choose to shoot at. And of course any time I want to and for pennies per shot.
So getting back to Range Day shooting my real steel big boy guns ;) I went with a couple of buddies of mine and we shot a nice variety of guns. My Norinco NP-30 double stack 45 cal 1911, my Wyoming Arms Parker 10mm, a couple of my friends Glock 40 cals, my Norinco NP-34 P228 and Norinco Tokarev Type 54 9mm pistols, my Chiappa 1911-22 and ISSC M22 22LR pistols, a nice Sig Mosquito 22LR, my buddies S&W M&P 15-22 22LR rifle along with my ISSC MK22 SCAR 22LR rifle and my friends mighty custom Ruger Mini 14 in .223 caliber...
It was a cold day but a really fun day and it gave me a chance to really use my iPhone 6 plus camera for its slow-motion capabilities in a decent lighting situation.
Enjoy the footage of these "real guns" shooting in real time and slowed down.
Starting Friday, (after all it's called Black Friday!) We are offering free shipping on all orders in the Canada Replica Airguns Store. Free Shipping will continue all weekend till the end of Cyber Monday! So in other words (November 28th till end of day December 1st).
Here is a Press Release taken from the NFA website, I have also made a YouTube Video going over all of this in my own words and what it really means for us law abiding airgun owners in Canada so make sure to watch my video below for further explanation...
"On Wednesday, November 5, the Supreme Court of Canada issued its ruling R. v. Dunn, finding that most air guns are considered “firearms” for all purposes in the Criminal Code except for licensing and registration.
The Court affirmed the previous decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal, which itself had overruled a decade of its own jurisprudence in finding that air guns are “firearms”. Prior to this case, the courts had held that air guns are not treated as “firearms” unless they are used for some offensive or unlawful purpose.
This decision applies to all air guns that are capable of causing serious bodily injury or death. Most courts have found that any air gun with a velocity of more than 214 feet-per-second meets this threshold. The vast majority of air guns sold across the country are capable of such a velocity.
This decision will have numerous significant impacts on those who buy and use air guns lawfully in Canada.
First of all, the Criminal Code provisions regarding careless storage, use and transportation of firearms now apply to air guns. Therefore, it is an offence to store or transport an air gun in a “careless” manner. However, because the ordinary firearms Storage Regulations do not apply to air guns, air gun owners are left with absolutely no guidance as to what precisely constitutes careless storage of an air gun.
It will be left up to police, prosecutors and courts to determine what charges will be laid, which will be prosecuted and ultimately who will be found guilty of this nebulous and ambiguous offence.
Moreover, as air gun owners do not require a license or a firearms safety course to possess these items, law-abiding Canadians will not be put on notice of the new legal requirements for air gun use, storage, transportation, etc.
Secondly, the offence of “carrying a concealed weapon” now applies to air guns, regardless of whether or not the air gun owner acts in an otherwise lawful manner. Placing an air gun in a backpack, a pocket or other concealed place will now be a criminal offence.
As the Supreme Court has ruled on this issue, the only route forward is through legislative amendment. Canada’s National Firearms Association has been extremely active on this front and will continue to pressure the government and provide all assistance in order to see that this decision be responded to by Parliament."
Canada’s National Firearms Association is this country’s largest and most effective advocacy organization representing the interests of firearms owners and users.
My big concern with this new Supreme Court of Canada ruling is that it really only effects law abiding Canadians. The criminals are not going to be worrying about how they store, transport and handle an airgun and since this new "airgun rule" does not change how an airgun can be purchased, or the fact that a criminal can still be charged with a gun crime while using an airgun in a crime, nothing has really changed by this new law from a criminals perspective.
Even more disturbing is the fact that the vast majority of airgun owners are now criminals since most will not be storing their airguns in the same way a firearm needs to be stored. Most Airgun owners do not have a PAL Firearms license, so they will have no idea of this new airgun ruling or even be educated on firearms handling and regulations, making most airgun owners criminals because for the most part, they will be storing, transporting and handling airguns in an unlawful manner now according to this new airgun ruling.

At last the wait is over and the winner of this years Halloween Costume Contest Giveaway has been chosen! I want to thank everyone for taking the time to put together a costume and making a video and of course publishing their Halloween Costume to YouTube so we can all take a look at it. There where many really good costumes that did not make the top 5 so again thanks to everyone for taking part!
OK so let's get to the winner. As you know I narrowed the list of video entries down to my top 5 picks and then setup a survey for everyone to have the opportunity to select their favorite video from the top 5.

I will be contacting Devin and letting him know what his options are for this years prize.
Sorry to drag this on but I could not decide on a winner all on my own so I picked my top five favorites that where chosen not only based on the costumes themselves but also on the quality and creativeness of the videos.
Thanks to everyone that entered, all the costumes where great and made it really hard for me to narrow the list down to my top five costume entries!
I ask that you help me out by watching the top five Halloween Costume Contest Giveaway video entries and then using the voting form at the bottom of the page, pick your favorite Halloween Costume video.
I have included the videos below that made it into the top five selection:
Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Cosplay Costume
Fallout Costume
Fear Me Costume
German Soldier 23 SS Reg. Costume
Skeleton Soldier Costume
Sorry guys, no videos this week! I made a management decision to skip making videos this week since my brain is not working so well right now and I'm pretty sure any attempts I would have made to make a shooting Field Test video would have been in vain...
The reason for my loss of brain function is lack of carbs in my diet. As it turns out, carbs are really important to the brain and its keeping all your day to day activities sorted out. I have cut all simple carbs from my diet for most of this week because I am preparing for a Mens Master Physique Fitness Contest that requires me to come in super lean and super dehydrated so that the muscle I have worked hard to get will look at its best.
My show is happening this weekend in New West Minister BC Canada, it's called the Sandra Wickham Fall Classic and there will be well over 400 competitors there in many different catagories.
If you are interested in following me along as I experience my first Mens Master Physique Fitness Contest, you can checkout my other YouTube Channel GetFitOver40 where I have a Vlog documenting this adventure.
Gun videos will commence again next week!
Here is my official Mobster Halloween Costume Video as promised and it looks like I made it just in time for Halloween!
There have only been a few entries so far so come on everyone, let's get your costume videos uploaded and entered into this years 2014 Halloween Costume Giveaway Contest for a chance to win a KWC / Cybergun Blowback Pistol.

This update video is to let all my Canada Online Replica Airguns viewers know about a recent major update and redesign we made to our Canada Replica Airguns Store! In a nut shell, lots of improvements and way easier to find just what you are looking for and watch my reviews while you check out the guns and stuff!
We just launched our brand new Replica Airguns Canada Store with improved navigation and searching for products by categories and a ton of user selectable options and features. To kick off our newly designed Canada Replica Airguns Web-store we are offering free shipping on all or orders for a limited time only so don't wait too long!
Hey everyone, we just got a really large Umarex order in our Canada location so if you have been waiting on some product from Umarex we should have most items in stock now...
Some of the more popular Umarex items these days are:
Great news, we just received our shipment of KWC P-08 Luger CO2 Blowback Pistols and yes we have them in both 4.5mm Steel BB and 6mm Plastic Airsoft so this news should make everyone very happy!
This shipment is only for our Canada Replica Airguns Store at this time but we hope to have them in the US Replica Airguns Store shortly when we add the KWC line.
The KWC Mauser is still a bit of a ways off since it was still a sample product when I tested it.
So make sure to pick yours up ASAP before we sell out of them as we have limited supplies and if you haven't already watched my Table Top Video and Field Test Video for the KWC P-08 Luger then make sure to do so.
We have just added the Swiss Arms 4 inch & 6 inch Full Metal Revolvers to the US Store, these are basically teh KWC made guns licensed through Cybergun with the Swiss Arms licensing so you can check out my Umarex Colt Python 357 since it too is the same base gun made by KWC.
Here are the specs for these Shell loading 357 styled CO2 4.5mm BB Revolvers.
Two new CO2 Blowback Airguns to preview for you today that I will of course be doing full Table Top and Field Test Shooting reviews down the road for each of them.
First up, the Umarex Colt Commander CO2 Blowback BB Pistol:
Uses 4.5mm steel BB's.
Uses 12-gram CO2 cartridges.
Blowback semi auto action.
18-rd drop-free full size BB magazine.
Single-action-only.
Fixed front and rear white dot sights.
Skeleton trigger and hammer.
Textured grips.
325 fps.
2.1 pounds.
Smooth bore barrel.

Next we have the ASG CZ P-09 Duty CO2 Blowback Pellet/BB Pistol:

We have recently lowered our prices even more in our Canada Replica Airguns Store just to make sure we have the most competitive prices in Canada! Even so, if you find a lower price on an "In Stock" item then blast us an email and we will always do our best to price match other Canada retail and online stores.
If you have purchased a product from our Canada Online Store within the last 30 days and you find we have lowered the price on it, again, send us an email with your order number and we will send you an in-store credit for the price difference.
We have also moved to shipping via Fedex which in many cases will get your order to you even quicker across Canada. We may in some situations ship using Canada Post depending on where you are located but now we have more options to better suite our customers!
Lastly, I know there are US online stores that will ship select items to Canada and you may feel they have lower prices which at first may seem true. I would urge you to consider a few things before buying from the US and shipping to Canada. First of all there are often extended costs like brokerage fees, duties and add on taxes. And just because a US store will ship to Canada, it does not mean you will get the item you ordered. Even if it seems legal according to our Canada import laws, many times Canada Customs will either hold, confiscate and or return items back to the sender and there is very little you can do about it other than try and plead your case. So worst case scenario, you could lose your money and get nothing in return?
And what if there is a problem with the order, wrong or defective item, then you need to ship it back to the US and again have it shipped back to Canada, two more potential customs related problems that you need to consider...
Anyways, just keep it simple, save yourself the headaches and order from the Canada Replica Airguns Store :)

Two of our most popular single shot target/hunting pellet shooters are back in stock again after what has been a rather long delay. The truth of the matter is we just didn't have a supplier for them anymore here in Canada until now. Webley as a company has been through some pretty big changes over the past several years and now hopefully it has all been worked out and supply will be steady.
Don't worry about the quality, that is still top notch! We now have the Turkish made Webley Alecto and Webley Tempest (both available in .177 and .22 caliber pellets) back in stock and I am happy to say the Alecto has even been improved with an upgraded Air Reservoir and even higher fps than before which means the Webley Alecto and the Webley Tempest now shoot right up to our maximum fps here in Canada before becoming restricted firearms so no need for an R-PAL which means happy shooting in places other than a gun range!
I would even rcomend both these Webley pistols for small pest control especially in the .22 caliber versions as they have the power and accuracy to get the job done.
I would think that most of you by now are aware of my other YouTube Channel, GetFitOver40, or perhaps not? Either way you are now :) I have been running GetFitOver40.com for almost as long as I have been running the ReplicaAirguns YouTube Channel and Website but I put GetFitOver40 on the back burner until about a year ago where I started investing some of my time back into it and as of right now the GetFitOver40 YouTube Channel has over one hundred videos, close to one millions videos views and over four thousand subscribers so it's doing pretty well.
If you haven't already guessed, GetFitOver40 is a fitness channel geared to those 40+ but I have lots of fitness related info for all ages including fitness gadget reviews!
My latest endeavor is a collaboration with the folks over at mrKnife.com, I like knives and they have an abundant supply of knifes for me to review so it seems like a good fit. Mr Knife is a Canada based online store supplying a variety of knife brands including, Cold Steel, SOG, Kershaw Canada and Ontario Knife Company. Here is the mrKnife new YouTube channel location.
So if any of these other YouTube Channels and Websites interest you then please show me your support and check them out and subscribe :)
This video in many ways goes over a Q&A I did back November 2013 but since we keep getting asked these question all the time, I thought I would address them again :)
How much is shipping in Canada? In a nut shell... $15 flat rate across Canada even to Ontario and Quebec.
Will I have problems with Customs? No you will not since all the items we have listed in our Canada Replica Airguns store have already been imported into Canada and will be shipped from Canada to Canada, no boarders are crossed when we ship to you.
Are all guns legal in Canada? Yes, since they have all been legally imported into Canada already, they are legal to sell, buy and own in all parts of Canada. Some items you will have to be 18+ years old to purchase.
What about price matching? We will price match any Canada based online or retail store within Canada that ships from within Canada. The only stipulation we have is that the item be currently in stock since some "questionable" business will drop the price on items they do not have in stock or have discontinued.
How long will shipping take? We always do our best to get your orders packed up as quick as we can and generally have them out the door within one or two business days, there are times when we get backed up with orders and this may timeframe may get stretched out to three days at most. Once Canada Post has the order it will take another 1-5 business days to get to you depending on how far away you are located from our BC based warehouse.
I hope this info has cleared a few things up for everyone!
I have already posted individual company updates on this years 2014 Vegas SHOT Show so make sure to checkout the links to each post below. You can also watch my Full Vimeo video that includes some video and a few more photos...
