TACCOM 24 Sterling Arms 9mm PCC

Hardly. Some of us just have enough space in our heads to remember less than 5 years ago when there were plenty of quality rifle designs to be bought for under $1500.

I’m surprised to see JR mentioning all these people that apparently hate him. I don’t think anybody has any hate for the guy, but with all the dud 180s that have hit the market since the ban, you’d have to be a fool to be enthusiastic about any new design.

You can’t blame the consumer for that.


As for the R9… looks different to me. Obviously Sterling has redesigned something there.

Most people would much prefer to buy a Swiss Arms made rifle instead of a 180 pattern dumpster fire platform....but well....yep...

I for me an excited to get bith Restricted and Non Restricted 9mms.

You guys BETTER have lots of 10/30 or even 5/30 mp5 mags coming aswell!!!

Lucky for us KCI makes a decent 5/30 steel mag for the MP5. Marstar had a schwack of em not too long ago. Shouldn't be too hard to get all the other KCI distros to bring more in.
+1 on the rezzie version!

Won't be required if SAI has their 10/30 "pistol" mags ready to ship along with the R9s. I am really looking forwards to those mags, with their Last Round Hold-Open feature in the R9.
 
7075, with mil-spec Type 5 Hardcoat Anodizing. The finish on my pre-production test/review rifle looks and feels fantastic - as nice as the nicest "black rifle" you have seen ot handled. The finish is blemish-free, jet black and consistent throughout.

As Bartok5 confirmed

When e start doing colours, they will be coated OVER the anodizing. All are anodized first.

Which is the major shortcoming of the Lockhart Raven, in my view. For whatever reason, Sam Lockhart refuses to anodize his aluminum, preferring instead to rely upon a thin coat of CeraKote to prevent wear to the underlying aluminum. This is a major failure, as the CeraKote paint wears off quickly at contact/wear points, leaving raw aluminum surfaces to rub against aluminum or (worse) steel. Not cool, even after I have repeatedly requested that Lockhart at least consider offering anodizing as a user-cost option, he refuses to do so. Must be a problem with getting anodizing done on Vancouver Island where Lockhart is based. In any case, once the CeraKote wears off the Lockhart rifles are prone to rapid wear of the underlying, exposed aluminum alloy, resulting in excess slop and loose tolerances.....

There's a few places that do anodizing on Vancouver Island.
Maybe they don't want to change tolerances based on the different types of anodizing. From my experience, the buildup on gun parts the change is negligible. CeraKoting leaves a buildup as well so who knows. Personal preference?
 
Not firm, as it is dependant upon an international supply chain of component parts from Turkey, Slovenia, Taiwan and Canada. Delays could occur if even one part is held up from timely delivery. The intent is to launch the 9mm before the 5.56mm Rifle, with a target of end-October/early November. But as I said, that could slide to the Right for both platforms.
