    Rangers Scale of issue

    Yes, there is now. They've been adding kit for the Rangers for quite a few years now. Used to be just the rifle, a ball cap and an armband. Good times lol.

    Rifles for Rangers

    I mean locked up in a local armory or RCMP station. We couldnt keep them at home. As for trigger locks, they issue them to us now. Doesnt take much to get a trigger lock off tho. As a side note, the original rangers back in the war(PCMR) were issued a lever action winchester, the enfields came...

    Rifles for Rangers

    In order for us to be able to store our weapons at home, they have to be bolt action, apparently. Some of us have asked about FNs, C7s and the like, and that was one of the reasons we heard. the FN would be great, but we'd have to keep them locked up somewhere. Most of us have had a...

    The Canadian Rangers Merged Thread

    When I joined the Rangers in '93, our full issue of kit consisted of 2 ball caps, an armband, and the .303. Oh, and the pull through and sling. If you wanted the red sweatshirts and t shirt, you had to buy them. I spent a lot of ranger pay in the surplus store back then. They've come a long way...

    Rifles for Rangers

    Hi guys, Word from on high in the rangers is that we WILL see a new rifle, but not for a few years yet. I've been a ranger for about 15 years now and have seen this rumor come and go a few times, so i'll believe it when its in my hot little hands. That'll be a sad day tho, I think we're the...
