Since there are only 3 pictures in the thread, 2 of mine and one other and the other doesn't have a light on it, I guess you are talking to me.

The mount is from IWC Mount N Slot, it is for the Surefire Scout light to mount to a MOE hand guard.

He could have posted in the wrong thread, how dare you assume hes talking to you..

Welcome to the AR platform. PSA is a good choice around $700. You can get a good Spikes for around $800 now if you watch Aimes. Or go to Walmart and buy a colt and be done with it.

Get you one of those new Sig pistols. Sweet looking weapon. I thought it was a SBR when I saw one at Rural King

If you are willing to travel a little over an hour I can recommend you a shop that is building quality entry level AR's for right at $650 plus tax with a pmag. That would leave you will enough for some MBUS sight and a primary arms or vortex red dot.

Unless you are building a "toy", I'd stay away from the poly and carbon fiber lowers.

This is one of my defensive/SHTF rifles

What site do you have on there ? acog ?

Slightly confused that you mention a "pistol". Is that a new type of stock that is supposed to not meet the definition of "stock"?

I also would not recommend a stripped lower, a piston system, or a poly lower for a first AR.

That's an Aimpoint M4s

It's a "pistol", what looks like a stock is the SIG Arm Brace.

Thanks Mike. I hadn't seen that yet.

When looking at the colt models is the 6920 the way to go over the 6940?

The 6920 would be the "normal" m4 style. The 6940 has the monolithic railed upper, like my avatar, and they're generally a little higher priced. Both nice guns, just a matter of preference.

Yes, with the 6940 you are more or less stuck with the configuration it is.

I have the 6940 and enjoy it, great rifle. But yes you have the rail and can't change it, and it's heavier than the 6920. Both rifle's rock and I would take either as my only rifle.

Honestly if our looking at a $1000 price range I would look at either a bushmaster or a dpms. Now if you are up for it build your own.. It's fun and you get to know your gun. Which is a lot better IMHO because if something goes wrong you have a better chance of knowing what went wrong and how to fix it.
