Thanks,that helps in deciding if it is worth buying this or go with a new one.
LGS has the 556E for just under $1000 out the door,but I believe it doesn't have any backup sights. |

You can find a Colt $6920 for less than $1k these days. Unless you specifically want a Ruger or a piston gun, the Colt is a heJJ of a lot higher quality carbine |

I like gas piston rifles.
The rifle I am looking at is under $750,I wouldn't pay $1000 for the 556E personally,as you then need to buy sights etc. But $750 with the extras seems okay. |

Threading a barrel is easy peasy. Any machine shop or a full service gunsmith should be able to accomplish this provided you give them the correct thread pattern information.
15 minutes start to finish in a lathe including set-up. $100 bucks. |

I paid to have my ny state compliant sr556e done the way you asked.
Once I moved from commie ny to Fl, it cost me 120$ to have the barrel threaded and that was including the $9 a2 comp. Was well worth it imo. |

Look in the Equipment Exchange for Ruger Rifles ... There are some good ones there.

Possibly just as good but not better. |

IMHO colt is a downgrade for me since they don't make any midlength gas rifles.
