Must:
- 4150 or better barrel
- 5.56mm chamber
- Chrome-lined chamber/bore
- Mid-length gas system
- M4 feed ramps/extensions
Should:
- M16-style bolt carrier
- Nickel-Boron bolt/carrier
- Carbine-weight buffer
- Flip-up front BUIS
Want:
- Flat-top upper receiver
- Mil-spec buffer tube
- T-marked upper
Indifferent:
- Furniture
- Markings
Budget:
- Approximately $900
So perhaps the better questions to ask are these:
- What other manufacturers can meet or exceed these same criteria?
- Do any of these other manufacturers offer something I'm missing?
- What, exactly, do these other manufacturers do differently/better?
- Are those benefits as offered by other manufacturers cost-effective?
