I would first like to say hi to everybody. This is my first post so I thought I would do it locally(Texas) LOL.
I'm a former Marine and was with 2/3 in Kbay from 89-94 and with 4th Tanks from 94-97.
I just recently purchased a Bushmaster M4, 16" variety and was wanting to get a little work done to it, but I don't know where to go.
Looking for a gunsmith in the Houston, Conroe, Woodlands area that can do some work that is more familiar with M4 mods than myself. I had the A2 when I was in and didn't use the M4 so I am still unfamiliar with it.
I am wanting to get some rails installed(probably LaRue or another good brand).
My biggest dilema right now is do I install a solid rail system or just the 2 piece and install them myself.
The weapon will be used for security and for home defense, plus alot of plinking.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I found this site about 2 weeks ago and have been reading quite alot on it. So I have decided to mod the M4 and looking for some ideas.
So far I want to add:
Either Full Floater Rails or 2 piece system. Something stable and reliable
Surefire M910A
Tactical sling
Purchased so far:
Bushmaster Patrolmans model M4 w/16"barrel
Trijicon ACOG TA31RCO
ishot 36" TAC Carbine Case(Tan)
8 30rd clips from Bushmaster
4 Strike M4 Mag pouches from Blackhawk(Tan)
900rds. M855 on stripper clips from The sportsmans guide
I would like to say thanks for such a great site, and some of these purchases were directly related to the information that I received from the site. So thanks alot and also for knockin a dent in the pocket book.
