I'm not sure, I haven't seen them. As a comparrison the Rock River list price is $995. Gunbroker had one from Spike's for $650, and a few in the same neighborhood as RRA.

A few years back some guys at work picked a few of them...seemed to be good guns...reliable but no comments about accuracy-good or bad.

Well picked up the m4 yeaterday already haveing secound thoughts (I always do when I buy a new gun). Haven't shot it as yet will try to get out this sat. and see what it will do. I wanted an AK to replace a 9 mm for a house gun but this one is even shorter that the AK so should work just fine and their are a lot of uppers that I can get to change things some. Thanks.

Well finly got out to shoot the M4 last sunday. Took about 25 rounds to get it shooting were I wanted it to ( about 2 inch's high at 50 yards maby a little less) Last 5 shot group was 4 tuching and one out about an inch could have been me as I tend to go to fast when shooting a ar. Over all I like it a lot and it seams to be a shooter (only iron sites) I would like to fine a scope mount that fits the carry handle but haven't seen one or one that coould mount a red dot for night shooting. well have a good evening .

Midway USA also has a number of carry handle mounts. Besides the ones that sit on top of the handle, they also carry C-More and Midwest Industries 'scout' mounts that attach to the carry handle but put the red dot optic over the forend.

That's some pretty good shooting, especially for irons. Sounds like you got a good one. I bet you'll be happy you didn't get an AK before long.
