Quoted: OK. I have been researching AR’s for approx. 2 months. I have narrowed down the huge list of suppliers and dealers to RRA and yourself. Even though RRA is a bit cheaper, due to your reputation for customer service, I believe my purchase will be with you. So here is my problem. INDECISION!!!!!!! I have been looking at the 16” A1 SOCOM M4 & the MOD4 16”. I will be using this weapon for law enforcement purposes and eventually will be adding either an EoTech or ACOG.

A1 SOCOM has 4 oz more barrel under the handgaurds. For semi auto, you probably won't notice any difference other than weight--but then again, it is only 4 oz.
Another hiccup point is I have also looked at buying a complete lower & upper from you. The Semi-Auto lower w/internals & 6 Pos. stock matched with the 16” M4A1 SOCOM upper. If I go this route what upgrades should I include. Like what’s the difference between an upper with a Semi-Auto carrier vs a Full auto carrier.

If you purchase any complete weapon (upper & lower half), you still have the Federal Excise Tax to deal with. It is figured in with complete weapons. With the accessories you receive (sling, cleaning kit, 2 mags, hard case), it is really worth it to buy complete. You also get a flip rear sight or detachable carry handle with complete weapons. Some people would rather have the extra weight of the full auto carrier in their rifle; we with build it either way. The rifle was originally disigned with the full carrier, if that makes a difference to you.
I am the kind of guy that holds value to a nickel, but I have no problems spending that extra nickel if it brings me the product that I want. I am asking your advice on the three options I have listed above or any other options you think I would be interested in. Please be as detailed as possible and if you can include an estimated discount for law enforcement. I do live approx. 3 hours from your store, but would like to get as much info as possible before I make the trip to purchase.

LE discount is 10% on the weapon and 5% on optics. I don't know how much you are looking to spend, but you might consider a pistol grip upgrade, 2 stage trigger upgrade and possibly a railed forearm if you think you might want other gadgets in the future.
Email me if you'd like and we can hook you up with and itemized price list with your discounts.
Thanks,
Jeff
