What combination of handgard/rail/front sight most closely approximates what the USMC is currently issuing to Grunts going in harms way?

Who makes it and where can I get a good deal on it?

Thanks!

Depends on if you want an A2 or A4.
For an A4, it would be a Knight's M5 RAS if you wanted a rail, otherwise standard A2 guards.  Optic would be an ACOG, along the lines of the TA31.  Front sight is standard FSB on either one.
Any number of mfrs have them.  No idea what prices are in your area.  Check with BravoCo, Denny's, and most industry partners in the Industry boards.
ETA:  If you're asking who makes the issued rifles, then it would probably be an FN, although there are still some Colt rifle builds.

Basically you need a Flat Top upper with a 20" chrome lined, 1/7 twist A2 profile barrel with the fixed FSB. Then you need a KAC M5 RAS rail with some KAC rail panel covers and a KAC VFG.and then you need an Trijicon ACOG TA31RCO-A4.
