    The legality of suppressors depends on your state of residence and your criminal
    record? Some states allow them and some don't.

    Welcome to the best AR-15 type rifle website.

    On your new M-4, stay with the major manufacturers and you won't go wrong.
    Many consider the Colt model 6920 to be the gold standard of M-4 carbines.
    I have 2 and they are perfect.

    Welcome! So you are looking for an M4? I think that we can help with that.

    Couple questions for you, what do you plan on doing with the M4? What is your budget?

    Cans are legal to put on an M4, but the question is, does your state allow them.

    I would do alot of reading and sit down and think of what you want.

    Think of what you intend to do with it, think hard, especially if it will be your only one.

    For instance if you will only have one and like to shoot magnified optics with an option of a red dot, look hard at a model with a float tube and flip sights.

    You can always use the Troy set or if you want fixed, use an LMT fixed rail mount front and either the LMT fixed rear or the Larue.

    Look at the magnified optic like the NF 1-4 or the S&B short dot, that may alleviate the want/need for an Aimpoint.

    An option if you don't want the float tube is use the PRI or Vltor front gas block/front flip sight and a flip rear.

    Hopefully that helps and welcome!

    Colt is a fantastic brand, but you are generally going to pay close to $1,600 for one (with no rail, optic, or light).

    With a budgest of $1,300, I would look at an LMT or a Charles Daly LE M4.

    Suppressor's are legal in FL by the way.

    Yes, we are the owner of G&R Tac. Colts are nearly impossible to find ever since Obama got elected. Good luck trying to find one.
