[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1602400, member: 423"] If you're wanting the true M4 style, with the M4 contour barrel, this from DelTon is about the cheapest you can get. [URL="http://www.del-ton.com/Rifle_Kit_p/rkt100.htm"]DelTon M4 Rifle Kit[/URL] $485 + Lower receiver. This includes everything you need except the receiver. If I remember correctly, there is someone in the classifieds selling receivers for $81 OTD. So for less than $600 you could be have a complete rifle. If the exact look of the M4 is not required, I recommend getting a midlength gas system like this one: [URL="http://www.del-ton.com/Rifle_Kit_p/rkt108.htm"]DelTon Mid Rifle Kit[/URL] $465 + Lower receiver. The Midlength gas system is smoother and less harsh on the gun. If you're not as concerned with price, this is even more accurate to the M4 specs (14.5" barrel), and higher quality.
