nice to meet you.  I'd buy enough parts to build a mutt.  with the money saved you might be able to get the eotech as well.

i am causious on building a mutt because i am not fully up to speed on what parts would be the best for me

CMT, Stag (these two may be synonomous), LMT, Eagle Arms .  Factory builders: RR, Bushie, Armalite (may be too expensive).  I bought a used NM Armalite lower locally, bought an almost new upper (complete with B/C/CH) consisting of a RR upper, BM chromelined Hbar, YHM forend, off the EE and saved over 350 bucks off a comparable factory rifle with the features I wanted.

I guess it also depends if you're buying for an "investment" or a shooter.

Take $20 out of your stash and buy a membership... then

buy ammo
buy mags
what kind of back-up irons do you have?
what kind of stock do you have?
what kind of grips do you have?
what kind of handguards do you have?

There's also the option of suppressing you current M4. $900 should put you in a good position to do that.
