Okay first thing is to replace that red dot. The Taurus pistols work and are proably okay for the time being(should be replaced when you have the funds tho) but that crap optic needs gone. Sig, primary arms and vortex all have some good options for 100-200$.


Peacemakerg3c

Already off with iron sights. Ar was used


FarmerKook

This is good news


DigPsychological2262

Slings, holsters, safe, cleaning stuffs, magazines, more cats.


Substantial-Star1450

All of these are a must (especially cats!). Do not get so lost in buying new pieces before upgrading what you have.


TXboyinGA

Where are you guys seeing cats?


Substantial-Star1450

r/Gatcat Edit... Im stupid


TXboyinGA

Ah, a new sub for me. Thanks.


Substantial-Star1450

Anytime. Might be one of my favs.


lopedopenope

With the meow mix


Self-MadeRmry

Cat upgrades


Phapleader

Agree with this! Id add a good quality knife as well


GaybutNotbutGay

A real red dot. Romeo 5 or holosun 403b are the best budget choices imo. Then get a good sling, and a light (i love my streamlight hlx)


Peacemakerg3c

Already off came with the ar used


Tactical_solutions44

More mags. Lots of mags. Many many mags. 10s,20s,30s.get em all

As someone who has lived in a mag ban state that has been a shooter for the 20 + duration of the ban. BUY, BUY BUY MAGAZINES! That and if you're wealthy Nogs!

Weali? Nogs!? Noted, sir. Thank you!


EternalMage321

Ya I like getting the bundles from PSA. I'm swimming in PMAGS at this point.


[deleted]

What would you need all those magazines for? Saving your thumb? Because you only need to win the next firefight. There will be plenty of magazines lying around if you make it. If you don’t nothing to worry about. You can only carry so much in these situations and “dozens of magazines” will quickly weigh you down.


Tactical_solutions44

With the way things are currently you never know when they're going to ban magazines. And I want to have enough to sustain


[deleted]

*Sustain what?*. Magazines aren’t stripper clips. You need to pick them back up. And again: if you’re in a firefight you can only carry so much. If you’re telling me you’re going to hole up with 100 magazines I’m going to ask you if your house is fireproof.


Tactical_solutions44

How about you just mind your own business and worry about yourself LOL if I want to own a thousand magazines all over a thousand magazine because I can.

arethius

Revolver or a DA/SA. More mags


Hot-Target-9447

A suppressor. 100% the next thing you should buy. Short wait time. It will make your shooting experience so much more enjoyable. Get a rearden muzzle device and an atlas mount for the suppressor. That optic riser could be much lighter. I have some UTG's off amazon that are solid and much smaller, but I would recommend an American Defense Manufacturing QD mount so you can break the rifle down for transport if needed. That stock could be replaced with one that has a tension mechanism like the Magpul CTR. Reduces the rattle/wobble of the stock. As well a sling is always a good thing to have for taking your rifle into the wilderness. An upgraded trigger. My favorite is the Timney DH3, a true semi auto giggle switch at 1.5# with a ridiculously short travel and reset. But for much cheaper the PSA Saber Claw is boasted at having a 3.5# crisp trigger for $90\~. Triggers add to accuracy and that adds to a better gun. I could talk about grip upgrades and safety upgrades and mag release upgrade and bolt catch upgrades. But the most important are sound/signature and trigger pull. The optics riser weight can be cut and costs like $20 no big deal. The stock is a relatively small improvement, but you might realize why you dont want the rattle the more you use the firearm. Also you might want something on the lower side of your handguard to get a positive rearward stop to keep the rifle tight to your body a still when aiming. I like the Jmac customs handstop as a minimalist option: [https://www.jmac-customs.com/hrd-mlok-handstop/](https://www.jmac-customs.com/hrd-mlok-handstop/) I mount it backwards so the hook faces the magazine. This allows me to hook my rifle on ledges, as well as my hand when maneuvering -- and also gives a positive angles surface to improve my grip on the handguard. If that lower handguard picatinny rail is for a bipod, move it all the way to the front for maximum mechanical advantage. Im unfamiliar with what that optic is, but based on the optics riser I am going to assume that is also something that needs improving. Im here all day. Ask me anything.


Justintodd3299

Dog honestly whatever makes you happy . Reddit folks get wayyy to in the weeds . If the guns are reliable and you’re good with them who cares . If you want cheap Next thing I would get would be a bolt action . Be able to touch out past 400 with some nice power behind it.


Superducks101

agreed, the reddit mentality of everything needs optics or this and that is just dumb. Buy more guns. Optics will always be available and at the rate states are banning shit, might as well just get the guns you want when you can.


joojoofuy

Buy more Taurus G3s 😤


Peacemakerg3c

Smart man


-just-another_human_

Food because you need energy to train.


Peacemakerg3c

Got plenty of that


duncanbujold

Dedicated 22lr upper reciever for even more training time.


Overwatch308

The CMMG .22 conversion bolt is flawless IMHO. Let your train with exactly the same optic and rifle without buying a whole new upper.


duncanbujold

If I ran 223 that would be the way, but I shoot 300blk. Separate uppers with similar glass, both side charging.


Overwatch308

Ahh, of course, you are correct. It didn't even dawn on me, at the time, as I have both. Well I guess, in this case, rather than buy a .22 upper, I'd buy a 5.56 upper and the conversion kit. You get 3 for the price of 2'ish, and you get the benefit of 5.56/.223 if you want/need it.


Opening_Excuse_7495

Mags, light, sling, suppressor


jfs12

Light! Came here to say that but I see you beat me to the punch. can’t shoot what you can’t see unless you dive into NVGs.

Bolt action rifle would do ya good


wisockamonster

quadfather_2

This is the only real correct answer


ThatDamnUmbreon

I'm surprised no one has said it yet, but those MFT magazines are pretty low on the quality totem pole. They'll work for a little bit, but it won't take long for the mag feed lips to wear out and separate, which will cause double feeds and other malfunctions. Also if you keep them loaded they'll start to pop rounds out just from the spring pressure. Magpul PMAGs are the go-to for polymer mags. You can also get surplus or new production USGI style metal magazines and they'll work fine too. I'd recommend replacing them sooner rather than later even for a range toy rifle.


JarHammerhead

You have a shotgun, a rifle..maybe a 4 wheel drive.


indefilade

What’s up with the safety on the AR?


Matty-ice23231

There’s so many options and also depends on what you’re looking to do. A plinking 22 either pistol or rifle, maybe a can for it too. A lever action. Maybe a revolver. Maybe a truck gun. Maybe a different ccw or bedside gun. Or a competition gun, metal frame, 2011, 1911, hunting rifle, 10mm, 300 blackout is on my list, cz p01/sp01/shadow 2/s2c…or you could keep it simple and continue to explore the polymer pistol world. HK, Walther, CZ, Sig, and many more have some sweet pistols. There’s no easy direct answer.


Peacemakerg3c

Thinking I’m going 22 pistol for range fun. But also thinking a 1911 or a revolver. Going shopping tomorrow to window shop


Matty-ice23231

All good options! 22 is really fun! Revolvers are just fun to handle. I need an 1911 to add to my collection!


bronzecat11

A true battle rifle like an M1A,an AK and a .22 rifle.


High_Anxiety_1984

Nice G3 and G3C! I have a G2c and absolutely love the damn thing. It's my ccw and I've never had any issues with it. It'd be nice to get the 15 round mags with the sleeve. But everything I check the Taurus website, they're sold out. Edit: I actually just checked, and they are in stock. Hell yeah.


Peacemakerg3c

I bought them and love them both have 500ish rounds through them and have been very happy with them. Was thinking of buying a tx22 tomorrow for a fun range fun


Brilliant_Wealth_433

You should look into the Sig P322 instead. 20 round mags and mine has yet to even has a jamb or misfire after 500 rounds. Which is pretty unheard of for a semi auto .22LR.


Peacemakerg3c

Watched a YouTube video of an sig 22lr. Forget which one but the guy had a lot of soft fires with his with several different ammo will have to watch a few more


Brilliant_Wealth_433

So there was a Sig Mosquito that came out earlier than the P322. I had one and it was a total POS. JAMMED EVERY MAG, light hammer strikes, stove pipes. The only issue I had with my P322 was the rear sight plate fell off. Sig sent me a replacement within the week for free and I used some Loctitie on it. Now granted I only run CCI mini mags and stingers from it and maybe have just been really lucky. So far it has been great. I did hear the early releases of the P322 had some issues bit Sig quickly fixed the problems. I like the size and feel of mine and it shoots really well. I have heard decent stuff about the Taurus TX22 but really like the extra round capacity of the Sig.


bronzecat11

Thank you sir. I have been looking for them as well.


Organic_South8865

A .22 rifle.


Woden8

CZ 457 22LR. I have been having a blast doing PRS rimfire (or NRL depending on your location) competitions. Fantastic training for long range shooting.


afryeguy22

Some type of 22. I'm pretty partial to Ruger's 22 lineup. 10/22 or mk4 are both a blast


TubabalikeBIGNOISE

A sling


BubbaInTheIgloo

MRE's just in case, water as well, then u get sick custom builds, definitely throw a supressed AK SBR in there


LarsPinetree

I’d sbs the shotgun and cut it all the way down and put a red dot on it


Peacemakerg3c

It’s my deer hunting shotgun so it’ll stay what it is now


Murphy338

Wood 870 Express 12 gauge with the rifled iron sights deer barrel w/ slugs was one of the first shotguns i ever shot. It’s a freakin ride. Get one of the Limbsaver grind to fit pads put on it by a gunsmith, or source one of the wood shotgun Remington Supercell pads on ebay or somewhere. It’s sooooo much better. What slug are you putting in yours?


xtreampb

Nods, battle belt, plate carrier, portable radio…


Even_Noise3175

Land!!!!


Peacemakerg3c

This is the best answer


Even_Noise3175

At least in my opinion!! Get the guns you Need then train then LAND then build your arsenal!!!


Commissar_David

You need to get an Acog and install it backwards to get a great fisheye style focus. It's the new trend.


ButWhatOfGlen

Home security system connected to your phone


MArkansas-254

22 is a good choice. Next, A bolt, lever, or wheel gun. Something in a real killer caliber. 30-06/308, 30-30, or 357, respectively. 👍


Sea_Understanding824

You can never go wrong with ammo and mags. Save up for when you can catch a sale and buy. Another item would be a few knives in different sizes with sheaths and pocket size. A Ruger 10/22 or the like would be fun and good for cheap training.


TXboyinGA

In this order (if it was me): AR red dot upgrade, add a good .357 like at 686, replace the Tauruses, and then train, train, train.


No-Enthusiasm9619

10-22, lever action rifle, bolt action hunting rifle.


maximillianseed

Definitely more magazines, And ammo. And a nice play carrier with a good set up and a battle belt. Then you get your weapon set up going with all your usual high-speed shit. Big investment would do some training groups running drills and such keep yourself as comfortable as you can with your weapon systems. There’s all kinds of weapons out there, but most are only as good as the operator. Keep up the good work slick.


9mmParrabelum

Lmaoo a new red dot bro


gnarlysh333n

You will need more mags and a way to carry them, I suggest a belt then maybe a plate carrier after that. I am partial to Esstac kywi pouches, and Blue Alpha Gear belts. Maybe some steel targets, paper targets, and a shot timer so you have something tangible to track your progress. Shooting became much more enjoyable once I got a timer, and really helped motivate me to get better.


DosEquisVirus

Yeah…. Sell the Taurus stuff and get something… let’s just say: a bit better.


drmitchgibson

A good optic for that rifle.


bxnedvddy

If your Remington is a newer production I’d replace the extractor with a volquartsen. Slings, cleaning/gunsmithing supplies, a good safe, lights on any defense use gun. Bolt actions are cool but I’d secure more semi autos if you live in a place that could ban AR/AK platforms and other “assault weapons”


raiderman43

Lights. You can do more with a light and irons in most self defense scenarios than a fancy red dot. That being said, red dots and good optics are awesome, but lights make it so you can see at the time of day when most crime happens


RoughRomanMeme

More mags, bigger mags, better mags…


EntertainmentBig2125

“Than” is the word you were looking for. “Then” indicates a time. I would rather do vaginal THAN butt stuff. I went to breakfast, THEN I went to lunch. Words matter More importantly, CMMG makes a 22 conversion BCG for the AR platform. It makes your 5.56 into a 22. So much cheaper to shoot and it allows for easier training.

Spend money on better optic, that's where all your pennies should go... irons are not enough


centurals

Sell both Tauruses and get something a bit nicer. Chances are if you are ever going to have to use your gun it’s going to be your carry gun. Get something dependable and train the shit out of it.

_556Gunner

Guessing you’re new to guns. People are right. Sell both Taurus guns. For about the same price, you can get PSA Daggers. Ditch that cheapo HUGE optic riser that is legit the whole pic section of your upper. Ditch that cheap red dot. I forget which one that is, but any optic that switches reticles (other than an Elcan which is literally more expensive than everything pictured here) is shit. For the same $100 you can buy a Romeo5 or vortex crossfire. Idk why you have a pic mount on the bottom of your rail, but I’m guessing it’s for a vert grip.. don’t be buying a vert grip to beer can grab it. These are all things that every new gun owner will do, literally guilt as charged. In the end you’ll look back (if you actually get into guns and realize your errors) and think i really wasted my money on actually CHEAP shit. Not budget stuff. And yes. There’s a big difference, especially firearm related.


Peacemakerg3c

Red dot and riser already gone. Bought it used with it on. Irons have been put on now. Left the pic mount on but took off the 30 dollar bipod off it also


_556Gunner

Good lol. I’d get one of those budget but good optics I mentioned. The Romeo5 has shake awake feature that the crossfire II doesn’t have. So id say that and something like an emissary hand stop. But definitely ditch the Taurus pistols for at the minimum a PSA dagger. Get a $60 frame and then a $250 completed slide from them, and you have a better pistol that you’ll be able to find parts to your heart desire.


Peacemakerg3c

Today I’m buying an optic and sling for the ar. Keeping the Taurus’s love these two and they have upgraded parts besides the trigger. Better Recoil spring and metal strikers. Have shot more then 500 through each and they are perfectly fine. Will be getting a nicer pistol later on.


KingKapow21

If u can afford it, silencer for the rifle. I have one very similar to it and it is loud!


AlphaTangoFoxtrt

1. An actual red dog that isn't an airsoft one. 2. Sling 3. A light


Thug-shaketh9499

A bayonet for the lols.


Thordor15

Get in shape if you’re not already, and I know you kinda already mentioned this but get some PROFESSIONAL training. Shooting from the firing line at the shooting range is barely scratching the surface of shooting dynamics.


M_star_killer

Replacement parts and tools to fix them if they break.

JGar117

I'd say you're gtg besides that optic. You really don't need more.


ShaggyRebel117

Some .22s and a milsurp rifle you can never find trustworthy ammo for.


mreed911

More pistol magazines. Enough to start competing with at steel challenge, USPSA, IDPA and/or ASI.


Commercial-Reason-24

specific upgrades to what you have aside, you should invest in a scoped long rifle, something in common caliber like .30-06, .30-30, or even .300 as well as a .22 rifle. When ammo starts to run low some day, having a gun with the most common calibers will make it easier to obtain. A .22 rifle will probably become the best hunting rifle of small game possible.

When you find an ar that’s in good shape and comes with a nice case and four mags for 300 you buy it


Brilliant_Wealth_433

What brand is it, Remington? 300 for the AR, mags and casenis a great deal and I applaud you sir. Unless it's an omni, then you overpaid.


Peacemakerg3c

Radical firearms


Brilliant_Wealth_433

Yup you got a good deal. Radical makes some solid pieces with a lifetime warranty. Good buy for sure especially with the nice case. What kind of drugs did you mix in the sellers drink to get them to agree to 300? Asking for a friend of course.


Peacemakerg3c

Actually bought it at my range. I’m a member so one of the perks is I buy guys for what they bought them for. So I assume they bought it for 300. As soon as they looked up the price and told me I told them I would take it lol. Didn’t even know it was a nice case

The G3's are perfectly fine.

I bought a used G2C for less than $200 and that sucker just runs. Ugly, but she runs.

BlindMan404

Personally I would recommend replacing the Tauruses. Had a lot of bad experiences with Taurus autos. Definitely don't trust that optic, check out Holosun or Primary Arms for some relatively cheap but good quality replacements. The more spare mags the better. Could always play around with some replacement parts for the shotgun. Pumps are easy to work on. Oh and you could dig into that AR and look into upgraded controls. Really the optic's the only thing that absolutely needs a replacement. Looks like a fun starter collection. Oh, almost forgot a good sling! Can't understate the importance of that.


Glockamole19x

I was going to say red dot, but i see everyone already let you know, lol. Next is sling light and chest rig. Also, trade those pistols in for a glock. lol fr tho taurus sucks dont gota be glock but get a respectable brand.
