Ive decided to buy an M4 type rifle and Im a firm believer in do it wright the first time to the best of your ability and finances. Ive started to read the info on this forum and am overwhelmed with all the knowledge.
What I am looking for is pretty basic M4 5.56 as close to milspec as possable with a mid length gas system or piston (?), with a floating 10 inch quad rail, no sights just rail from the back of the upper to the gas block. Ad a set of offset back up iron sights and an optic, maybe a flash light on the left side latter. Ive got a budget of $1000 for the rifle. I was looking at the stag model 3, but what I have red so far tells me there are better options. Where would you guys start. Most of the local dealers have stag, bushmaster, Olympic arms, There are a few colts around and some S&W's but they arent set up for what Im looking for and are a few hundred out of my price range.
If you guys could point me in the right direction that would be great, links to places to find what Im looking for would be even better. Ive looked at LMT's Colts and spikes but I cant seem to find what Im looking for.
Thanks,
