Thought about a few new guns but the urge to go fishing was too strong.

looking AR-15's....any suggestions for complete rifles? Not looking to build one right now.

You can do a custom order/build on rock river arms dot com. That is what my brother did with his 5.56 variant ar, all but one or mine are custom though, funner that way

Sig Sauer has the tightest tolerances I have found on new AR rifles. Most anything you buy will be good but I thought the Sigs were the best built of the mass produced rifles.

Glad I tuned back in to this thread......After seeing cerakote mentioned, I think I have a couple of good candidates to try that on.

How hard to do is it?

Have to YouTube it and see what instructional vids are out there.

3Hummers · Jan 17, 2016

Not sure. I am about to Cerakote a few things. I will let you know.

My Windham Weaponry SRC .308 and 50lbs of fun.

Glock 30 and a Tavor for tight quarters

ReconH3 · Feb 26, 2016

My collection of FDE Glocks.

My baby Glock 43 for ultimate concealment.

I will have to check the 43 out. Have a couple of suppressors on the way. Thinking about a Thunderbeast for 6.5 RPR.

ReconH3 · Feb 27, 2016

If you get a G43 you will need to swap out the slide release for a Tango Down Vickers one. The factory one is damn hard to activate. I've been so impressed with the baby Glock. It's so damn accurate. Even more accurate than my match G34.

Ok, now I have to go look at the 43 today. LOL

ReconH3 · Feb 27, 2016

I was expecting it to be very "snappy" and uncomfortable to shoot like most pocket pistols. Far from it. My only beef is the trigger has a very excessive long travel, but the reset is super short so follow ups are instant. Nobody makes a complete trigger that solves this. Meanwhile get a Taran Tactical connector that will lighten the trigger by around 2 lbs (4.5lbs). Don't get the Ghost connectors. They're a hit an miss and can cause some serious issues. Definitely get the Vickers slide release, but don't buy it on Amazon or EBay. The first ones were made for the G42 and even though they fit on the G43 it has enough play where it acts up. If you buy it from Tango Down directly, you'll get the updated G42/G43 one that doesn't have these issues.

I picked up a 42 and a 43 recently but haven't been able to shoot either one yet.

3Hummers · Feb 27, 2016

Cabelas did not have a 43. Said they sold them out whenever they got any in. Love the 30 but having trouble finding a holster for it. Been carrying my Sig C3 in a shoulder holster but getting too warm for wearing cover for the shoulder holster.

Let us know if there's a significant difference between the two. I've been debating on getting a G42 for the wife. She likes the 43 but she's not used to the recoil and hesitates to go shooting. If the 42 is softer she may go more and it could be here trainer gun even though she'll still carry the 43.

Will do. I sold my Sig P238 to get the 42 as I like the features of the Glock better than that particular Sig. Like Sigs in general, and that was nice to shoot, but I didn't like it as a carry gun.

Shrubf4 · Mar 8, 2016

Also have a '55 SA Garand

JPaul · Mar 8, 2016

I must be blind or ignorant, but I don't see a Garand in that pic. I see a bolt action scout rifle (looks like it's maybe a .308?), a .22 lever action, a scary looking black rifle, and a Ruger 10/22. If you do have a Garand I'd love to see a pic! I really need to take some pics of my stuff, I have a beautiful (to me anyway) Swedish Mauser (6.5x55).

Shrubf4 · Mar 8, 2016

You're correct on the Scout.
30-30 Marlin.
DDM4 V1(scary indeed).
10/22 is correct as well.
As for the Garand:
CMP bought, 1955 Springfield Armory
Boyd's stock
The only things more fun than shooting the SA are the Scout and Marlin. 30cal all the things!

Thought I had better pics, but I don't at the moment.

Got to finally shoot the 42 and 42 today. The 42 has significantly less recoil than the 43. I like the recoil on the 43 - it's not jerky, it just feels solid. The 26, also pictured here, is hard to shoot with the tiny grip and the recoil from the .40 rounds.

As you can see, the 42 is significantly smaller than the 43 as well. I added the sights on the 42.
Left to right is 26 - 42 - 43

ReconH3 · May 1, 2016

Awesome! Will be getting the 42 for the boss. Thanks.

cgalpha08 · May 1, 2016

Figured I'd share. Left to right....Sig Sauer P938, S&W m&p9c, Sig p226 mk25.

I'll throw in the rest.

Did an RMR upgrade on my G19. I have run it in a few matches and I'm really starting to like it. I still need to get used to it so I'm a little slower, but my shot placement has improved greatly. Thing I love most is I can actually see if I flinched or pulled a shot, something I wasn't able to do with iron sights. I can really call my shots and be very accurate doing it.

Shrubf4 · May 2, 2016

Pretty sweet looking Recon, makes me miss my G19.
Which Rmr did you use?
