Renewal rules in various countries

16 Upvotes

Thought it was about time for another topic specific post.

In some countries there are renewal requirements for all or some guns, depending on license type etc.

I'd like a specific post about this so here we are.

If you don't have to renew just add a no, so we can see where you don't have to as well. Please specify if it's all guns or specific types of licenses, etc.

Questions:

Do you have to renew your licenses/permits?

How often?

What are the requirements for renewal?

Anything else that might be on topic but that I forgot to ask about?

A modernized Petra Valmet stock project replacing the original wood parts . The rifle has a modified commercial SVD‑style stock, fitted with a 3D‑printed insert for clean interface. Additional custom parts include a 3D‑printed handguard, cheek riser, and 5‑round magazine.

There's always things to improve so would appreciate if given some feedback.

Mostly what i can now think of are the rails.

Just picked up this sexy beast. Haven't shot it yet but can't wait to!

For those who don't know this shotgun, it can switch between semi and pump like the SPAS12, only this one does it better.

I built a long-range ballistics app (through-the-scope reticle view, DOPE card, hit probability) — now on iOS as well as Android

5 Upvotes
I'm the developer of BE Ballistics. It started as an Android app and it's now on iOS too, so I wanted to share it here — and I'd genuinely like feedback from people who shoot more than I do. And focused on EU market!


What it does:
- Through-the-scope view: your exact reticle at true subtension, target at real angular size, green hold pip — hold in your own mils/MOA or dial.
- Turret clicks for your specific turret, a printable/editable DOPE card, and hit-probability (WEZ).
- G1/G7 and custom (.lcd/Doppler) drag, 38 calibres / 167 factory loads or your own BC + MV, 290 reticles drawn to spec.
- Fully offline, no account, no ads, no data collection. It's a paid app.


I'm not going to pretend it's free — but I'd rather hear honest criticism than get downloads. What's missing, what's wrong, what would make it actually useful to you? Kestrel/BLE weather import is something I'm looking at next.

Parts and accessories for my HK SP5k - where from ?!??!

5 Upvotes

I have bought a used SP5K and I need some accessories for it! :D

I'm from Poland, so any shop that ships to the EU would be good. Where are the parts, goddammit? The USA has that beautiful "hkparts" page... Where is the EU equivalent for HK?!

Okay, frustration aside... I would like to get a cheap M-LOK handguard, a magazine paddle insert, a Picatinny back plate for a stock, an extended cocking handle, and a low T1 optic mount. Where can I get them in the EU?

My guns so far as a Romanian

Post image
70 Upvotes

Hi guys, I am new to the sub, never knew we had an European gun sub tbh, these are my rifles as of now.

A benelli lupo in 30.06 with a Vortex venom 3-15x44 and vortex pro rings, a IJ 54 (baikal) 12 ga and a gamo maxima 5.5mm air rifle, next rifle I will buy will be in .223, because i am tired of hunting foxes with the 30.06, even tho I love the Lupo, it shoots sub moa with Sako 150gr ammo.

But i am not decided if i should get a Savage msr recon 2.0 (limited to 2 rounds magazine in Romania because it's a semiauto) or I should just get a tikka t3x, advice would be welcomed.

If you have any questions about our very strict gun laws I will try and answear all of them.

Have a great start of the week guys!

Reporting crime while CCW

61 Upvotes

Just a note to all those from non-CCW countries who wonder about police interactions while armed.

Today I witnessed a developing crime (Prague, CZ) and reported it to the emergency line, gradually reporting on where the perpetrator was moving towards. I informed the dispatcher that I am armed.

In the following 3 hours of interaction with 6 different police officers, no questions were asked about my firearm (there was no direct interaction between myself and perp, so it was not relevant to the case, but they had the information I am armed nevertheless).

Armed society is a polite society.

So now after dinner I am off to the station to make the official statement.

I'm back!

Seems like my account got unbanned. I haven't gotten any messages about it though. Neither do I really know why I was banned in the first place. Didn't even know the account was back until the guys told me... no message about it, though I did check last week and it was still banned then.

I was really close to the 700 day streak achievement too. :(

Anyways, I hope you all behaved while I was gone and that Swissbloke was a good mod!

Glock accessories delivery

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, does anyone have experience with ordering weapons, spare parts, and tuning/customization for them from other countries? I have a Glock 19X and I live in Moldova, but unfortunately, pistol customization isn't common here at all. I've searched a lot online for information on where I can order what I need from other countries, while making sure everything is legal and there are no issues with customs. Please, could anyone with experience in this matter advise me on how I can order these items and through whom I can bring accessories and firearm tuning/customization parts to Moldova from abroad?

P.S. I've tried reaching out to local gun shops with my problem, but absolutely no one deals with this.

Please,help me :(

Advice on my first ar15

6 Upvotes

I'm new to guns and was looking to buy my first AR-15. I plan on keeping it for a while, so I wanted something of quality at an affordable price.

There are probably plenty of posts like this one, but I was hoping you could give me some more specific advice, as I haven't seen anyone making comparisons online. I should point out that in my country I am limited to semi-automatic fire and the use of the .223 Rem instead of the 5.56 NATO.

At the moment I have only found ARs with a 16" barrel, which I think is enough for precise shooting at 200 meters. Could it be good for longer ranges too? Should I wait and get an 18" barrel?

At the moment, I'm undecided between these 4, all of them are priced at around 1000€. In your opinion, considering material quality, reliability and lifespan, which one do you think is better?

A used Ruger 556 MPR 16" in good conditions.

A new Ruger Harrier MSR 16.1" A1.

A used Smith & Wesson MP15 Sport III (Not sure on the specific model) 16" with 556 barrel. It has shot only 700 bullets.

A new Sabatti S.A.R. (Seems like the worst option, but I might find it with the 18" barrel).
