Found a good deal on a Stag model one, and bought it......I'm not gonna shoot competitively, I just want it to shoot about 2-3 times a month, and to light up a "haji" if he comes into range. Although I'm sure I can still accomplish the manual of arms, sight it in, and break the weapon down for field stripping, I just want to know if there are any particular "gotchas" with the M4, that might be a bit different from the M16.
.223 vs. 5.56? Cleaning agents (do they even make LSA anymore??)?, Optics?(heck, I figure I just need a smudge pot).
Thanks in advance!!
