as noted in earlier posts, the m-16/m-4 series is fine as is (i've used one bone stock for years too). but over the past decade i have learned that there is one "must have" accessory: a weapon mounted light. if you are looking for a plinking toy, then the light is not necessary, but if you are looking for a defensive weapon that will be used for close range engagements, then a light is indespensible. a decent light set up will set you back about $400. they are not cheap, but imho one would be foolish to spend money on "fashion accessories" before an accesory that can mean the difference between winning and losing a gunfight.

$400 for a flashlight and mount? Damn, you can get a Surefire on a LaRue QD mount for under $150. I don't like hanging a lot of crap off the barrel anyway. I dislike weapon mounted lights, just never found it all that important to have, but a real must have is a crap load of magazines, you can never have to many magazines.

Buy it! The fact that it is available, is incredible. Good price too!

X2...the more mags, the better...everything else is a "nice to have!"

Ambi safety - nice, i consider it a must, most could care less.
Ambi bolt release - hate it, bump it on my clothes and slam the bolt shut when i dont want to.
Front tritium bead. Love it. Rear, not so much.
Side sling mounts for tac sling, Love 'em.
wish i could have a collabsible stock in the Socialist republic of new york.

not hijacking, but happyc. i hear you on the NY thing. I just picked up my first ar and the limitations on what we can buy stink. So if you really dont like those 30's ill buy em.

If i dont get any bites on the whole thing as a package, i'll consider it, but for now i am trying to sell it as a package deal.

i wouldn't sell right now prices are scyrocketing and availability is getting scarce. If the our new presidential administration gets their way they will ban the sale of all new "black guns" and this will cause values to climb even more. If you are just trying to get rid of an AR you might want to wait. You probably already know this, but just a little info anyway.

What availability???? THERE ARE NONE! Call around and you will see...well, scratch that you might find one but there is a $500+ premium on even the most basic models. Sucks but it is what it is.

i know that is what i was saying
