Quoted: I wonder if you couldn't save a few bucks by purchasing the rifle you want "plain" and then shopping around for the toys... none of the accessories mentioned are that hard to install (i.e. no "gunsmithing" required).

Thats what I am getting at. You can save a couple hundred by shopping around. Do you have now or are you planning on getting Night vision? If not you can get the Eotech 512( $300 to $332) not the 552 save about $75 to $100. I picked up a Surefire M951 LNIB Demo for $180.00 a while back, saved me $145.00. IMHO opinion the M951 is too long of a light for the Car length rails. I would buy the midlength RRA CAR A4 and install the M81 handguards ($180.00)
I just went and checked some prices here these are normal dealer prices here not sales etc. Not sure what 2006 prices will be like.
Figure $ 790.00 for RRA CAR A4 Chrome lined carbine, either CAR length or Midlength
Surefire M73 or M81 rail system $180.00 (ADCO)
MI/GG&G BUIS (same thing) MI $105.00 GG&G $120.00
Eotech 512 $332.00 Eotech 552 $399.00
Surefire M951XM $325.00
A2 carry handle if you want it $115.00
$1732.00 with MI BUIS/ Eotech 512
$1824.00 with GG&G and Eotech 552
Add A2 carry handle to both for 115.00 if you want
Shipping cost( you can save here since lots of dealers have the above items in stock)
Eagle case and Cleaning kit.
I thought at one time this rifle came with 6 mags but I dont see that advertised as well as the Viking sling. Does anybody know what Eagle case is included? Is the cleaning Kit USGI?
