I have two rear Knights Armament BUIS sight posts for sale. These are Knights Armament KAC rear 600m BUIS, full sized Perfect for a military correct clone build, like the Mk12 or M4A1 Block 2 - Back Up Iron Sight. KAC's line of Backup Iron Sights are currently in use by the United States Army, Marine Corps and numerous law enforcement agencies worldwide. The highly versatile 200-600 Meter Folding Rear Sight features a finger-adjustable, rotating drum that enables shooters to engage targets from 200 to 600 meters with both speed and accuracy. The full-sized 600 meter back up iron sight is used on a number of military rifles from the early years of the Global War on Terror (GWOT), perhaps the most notable for military clone rifle enthusiasts is the Mk12 Mod 1. * I do not have any front posts. These retail for around $300 a piece. They are new and come in plastic bags, the same way they are issued in the Marines. Asking $175 for one or $300 for both. I'm in the Franklin area or can ship using PayPal or Venmo. We can DM to work that out if you want to do that. c.

I think in the other thread you were considering an AR. A Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22 may make more sense than a Ruger 10/22. The M&P would make for an easy transition to a centerfire AR.

I like the hammer fired guns. Internal n external. I've got an S&W 9mm Performance Center EZ ( internal hammer ) I like very well. They are essentially a pocket pistol ( for bigger pockets ). But they are an excellent choice. Barrel length is 3.8 inches ima thinking. leroy

Sounds like a plan to me. However, I would pass on the Taurus TX22 for a better .22 pistol. A good semi-auto .22 pistol can be used for training, target shooting and hunting. I like the Browning Buckmark, but you wouldn't go wrong with one of the Ruger Standard Models either. Both are excellent pistols at a reasonable price. As for a hunting rifle, that depends on what you intend to hunt, the range you intend to hunt at plus the type of terrain. Lots of options out there.

Yep, two different guns in those photos. Top one is a round cocking lever and round barrel, bottom one has a pie-shaped cocking lever and octagon barrel. And nobody with a knowledge of firearms is going to believe that a 45-70 round was going to go through that tiny loading gate!

The biggest advantage of the AR15 from my perspective is it's versatility. Caliber changes are as often simple as getting a new upper receiver. Add optics, lights, suppressor, or other accessories easily. As far as caliber goes, I'm not the biggest fan of the 5.56mm. But, there have been some really great developments in that caliber over the past 40 years. There are loads specifically developed to NOT penetrate walls. Other loads will reliably kill any game up to Deer. You name the application, and someone has ammo for it. One of the biggest advantages of the AR15 is how easily you can use it for inexpensive .22lr practice. CMMG makes an inexpensive, reliable kit for under $200 for use with any 5.56mm upper. The mags are a pain to load without the loading tool. But, extra mags are not terribly expensive. I carry five to the range. When they are empty, I change uppers to shoot a couple of magazines of 5.56mm. For hog, deer, or longer range shooting, I have a 6.5 Grendel upper. Ammo can be pricey and hard to find. But with online shopping, there are a lot of options. Another huge advantage of having an AR15 is that you do not have to practice with multiple platforms. No matter how you change it, the selector/safety will be the same, the grip will be the same, your cheek weld will be the same, magazine changes will be the same. For rifle that will be used for both hunting and home defense, that is a HUGE advantage.

Not necessarily. There are plenty of hammer fired, single stack 9mms out there that make excellent carry guns. I'm partial to the Sig P239 and have carried mine on occasion.

Are you able to go to a range where you can rent an assortment of candidates and see what you like and dislike?

A full-size 1911 is a large, heavy piece for EDC. Extra weight and size equate to less felt recoil in a given caliber. So, a 9mm 1911 will have that advantage, plus 1 extra round over one in .45acp. A Colt Defender or Lightweight Commander is a good choice for someone who wants a 1911 platform pistol. Both are available in 9mm, if that's your choice. I carried a Star PD .45 for many years as it was light, reliable, and I was most familiar with the 1911 platform. Also, it was a .45acp in the days when 9mm HP ammo was less reliable for both function and stopping ability. My argument then was that a 9mm Hollow Point might not expand, but a .45 Hollow Point would never make a hole smaller than half an inch! Now, 9mm ammo is much improved, and if that's your choice, it's not a bad one.

My apologies, but I am unsure if this is the proper forum placement for this post. Yes, I have posted and commented a bit on upcoming purchases of firearms I have been researching for a while now. Being that my wife is new to firearms, I wanted to incorporate some easy to learn and handle guns, but at the same time, acquire budget-friendly weapons we could use on our property when we see fit. As of now, the list of firearms is: Ruger 10/22 Rifle, Taurus TX22 Pistol, Hunting Rifle (still researching and stuck between bolt and lever action), and the Tisas PX9 Night Stalker. These weapons will have dual use for the most part, incorporating hunting as well as home defense. My goal is to be able to train her, then graduate her to the higher calibers if necessary. Does this seem like a good route to go?

As it stands right now, I will most likely purchase an AR-15 (probably from this site) just to have one and do some training with. I will still be getting a hunting rifle, 9mm pistol, and 10/22. I appreciate all the advice and information!

*SOLD* Thanks again TGO

So I see more of a shift to striker-fired rather than 1911 when in 9mm, correct?
