I'll second the Colt 6933. It's proven. Bud's has them for $963 delivered.

The OP said he didn't want to spend $3K on a rifle. He wasn't including the cost of a can in that price estimate. Regardless, a rail is no longer necessary and the 6933 already has a pinned FSB, so no need for a new barrel. So $963+200, plus $600 over at Silencer Shop for a can +$200, = $1,963 and you have a perfectly useable patrol rifle WITH a can. If he wants to optimize it, he could add a Magpul MOE M-LOK handguard with an flush mount QD swivel from IWC for about $50, then add a CTR Stock and BFG VCAS sling for about a C-Note more. Add an Aimpoint PRO w/mount + MBUS rear for another $550 and a light for another $100-200. You'd have a high quality SBR; Can; Optic; Light; Sling; Mounts & both tax stamps for under $2,800, that any patrol officer would be jealous of.
One does not need to spend $3K+ for a killer turnkey setup.

What if this whole crusade's a charade?
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood which we dine

Things are getting exciting here. The can thing is way out. That won’t be approved for duty for years I’m sure. By then I would hope to have a nice collection. I got to shoot an SR15 Mod 2 CQB and I want one. Eventually. The 6933 was my other thought, but I kept seeing them around $1200. The huge gas port would be a turn off. No need for the rifle to beat itself up unnecessarily. Almost sounds like I just need to Form 1 my Colt and piece something together.
