Also if you know an American manufacturer that makes the older style 4 position collapsible stock, I'd like to know who they are and where to get one.

Isn't just his M16A1 clone the one without the correct receiver? The XM177E2 looks correct. (Though I'm no expert.) He may have built that one before they were available. I just grabbed that pic since he has both of them together.

This the stock I bought. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=259809624

Shame (and I guess I got lucky.) The next one he relisted has two holes drilled to make it a fixed position. That be the last one he has, not sure. You may want to contact him. He sells a few plastic ones also.

I got a Stoeger 3000 as my early Christmas present and my new upland game gun. It will never replace my 870 Wingmaster but will be fun to have something new to use. Ill get a picture soon.

I''m deciding between a Glock 35, a SIG-Sauer P226, or a Smith & Wesson Model 19 for when I get back home.

id say the smith if you get a good deal seems model 19s are priced sky high these days. i hate glocks, the SIG is nice but ive lost my interest in them now that im shooting thumbs forward and the slides always fail to lock back.

~$600 is sky high?

He may be talking about the new classic ones out that are pricey. I'd go with an older used Smith vs a new one.

hmm I've never had that problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAIrDn6FBbw go to around the 1:20 mark

I see classic smiths like the 19 going for 8-9 hundred in good condition which is rediculous. The failures to lock back are since thumbs go over slide stop.
