    These guns appear to be serialized funny also. When I called Colt for a date of production check CAR006XXX were produced earlier than CAR003XXX guns. When I asked if they were serialized at a high number and then going lower as production rolls out they said no that they start with a lower number and go higher but that the lowers were all produced in a different time frame and the date of actual rifle assembly will have little to do with the serialized lower.

    Certainly not making my hunt easier!

    Scratch my last post. Another guy at colt gave me different production dates for the same serial numbers. I don't think Colt CS has a clue what they are talking about.

    Being impatient sucks. Found one for $860 shipped for the magpul version. Called to ask about it... no F mark.

    If it had the carry handle and A2 stock I'd be all over it my man.

    Truth be told I'm still thinking about snagging it because if I sold off the Magpul furniture I'd offset some of the losses from purchasing a carry handle and A2 stock (I've got A2 pistol grips, TG, and KAC rail already).

    Not sure what the MP demand on magpul rifle length furniture is though.

    You would be able to recover most of the $$ for the A2 furniture by selling the Magpul stuff.
    I may be abLe to help you out with A2 furniture....I might have an extra set in the batcave....I'll have to look.

    Solid, let me know.

    I'm most likely gonna go ahead and grab it. At least 1% of me will alway be bothered by it. I guess that ~1% will have to just **** off.

    Well, my impatience got the best of me...

    Does anyone know if M16A4's were ever fielded with standard A2 FSBs? I've read conflicting accounts that they were in fact fielded this way early on. I've also read that the A2 FSB's were only on trial/pre-production protos and never actually fielded.

    Anyone have insight here?

    I should be receiving my Colt AR15A4 in the next week and will let everybody know what flavor I get.
    When's your rifle arriving boss?

    It's on a brown truck heading my way, but I'm on vacation and won't be able to pick it up until next weekend.
