Very nice rig. How do you like that VLTOR? Does it balance out the weapon nicely?
What model Larue mount is that? I also happen to be a big Aimpoint fan. I put them on almost everything I have. ML2s and PROs.

My made in 2010 AR6721 AR-15A3 Tactical Carbine's current configuration.
Back in 2010 mine came from the factory with LE markings on the right magwell, detachable carry handle with square forge mark (Brass Aluminum Forging Enterprises), small FCG pins, M16 auto bolt carrier, reversible selector, no selector markings on the right side of the lower receiver yet, standard mil-spec M4 furniture (M4 fat oval double heat shield handguards, A2 grip, & M4 buttstock).
I replaced my furniture with KAC M4 RAS rails, Magpul MIAD grip, Vltor IMOD (mil-spec size) carbine buttstock, and Troy old style folding rear BUIS, I gave my son my M4 buttstock for his made in 2012 LE6920 M4 Carbine, he didn't like the Colt-Rogers SuperStoc, and used my A2 grip on my all Colt parts M16A2 rifle clone.
I agree, that's a great price with shipping, most of the low prices I've seen lately are from $850 to slightly under $1K for that particular model.

My Vltor IMOD have a way better cheek weld than any regular collapsible buttstock, it balances the extra weight of the HBAR heavy contour barrel and the KAC M4 RAS rail system. Plus it have storage compartments that you could add batteries if more weight is needed.
Next time I'm going to try the Magpul SL handguard to make it slightly less front heavy, I would not want to carry it for the whole day but the weight is not too bad.
I also have a B5 Systems Bravo SOPMOD stock on my other 6920 M4 carbine which I tried on my noted 6721, my Bravo stock is slightly lighter and narrower than my Vltor IMOD and does not have storage compartments but it also works fine for guys that don't want a very wide stock.
On my other older made in 2002 AR6721 with a Rock Creek Barrels, midlength gas system, medium contour, 16" 1/7 twist, mil-spec steel, chrome lined barrel, LaRue 9 inch FF rails, I have a heavier Vltor EMOD to balance the heavier front end weight.
The LaRue mount on my 10 year old Aimpoint M2 is the model LT129 cantilever QD, it gives more room for my old LaRue "Poor Boy" refurbished 2.5X Hensoldt magnifier mounted on a LaRue flip to the side QD mount.
When member Molon tested the 6721 with precision handloaded 69 gr match ammo and free floating hanguard, it was the most accurate Colt production barrel which grouped under 0.9 inch at 100 yards, even better than the 14.5" 1/7 SOCOM mid-heavy military M4A1 barrels.
