$1,200 is a lot for an AR15 in this current market even if it is a Colt. Colt stopped using the KAC RAS too. They use the drop in Troy rail. You can build this same rifle for about half of what this one costs. It just wont say Colt M4A1 on the side.
I built this M4 SOPMOD clone last year. Colt 14.5" M4 profile barrel. Pinned and welded BCM extended A2 hider, BCM BCG, BCM buffer tube, Matec rear sight, KAC RAS, Colt waffle stock, Colt sling mount, ALG QMS trigger, Blue Force gear Vickers sling. Added the Trijicon TA01 NSN and Surefire M961 with a Malkoff LED upgrade. That extra $600 saved almost paid for the ACOG and would easily pay for an Aimpoint M4 or M2. For $600 you could get an older Aimpoint M2 and a Surefire M951 both and have an early Block I clone.

Appreciate the heads up OP. A year or two ago the pricing would be in line, now? About 5 - 600 too expensive.
When the heck is 223 ammo going to drop?

They have dropped a little. It will be awhile before the real drop happens. There was a run on ammo from California, starting next year they will need a permit to buy ammunition. So right now dealers in California are buying up lots of ammo for the demand. It wont be until next year until ammo prices start to drop.
Yeah I'm ready to see prices come down even more. It'll be interesting to see how the market changes over the next few years. I tend to think a lot of smaller companies will go out of business and bigger companies will really have to adapt.
I watched a 6940 go on Gunbroker the other night for 920. Almost bid even though I have one of the older ones.
Nothing really. Just that little prancing pony.
Where you get that cage sticker?
That one is an older one that I had made. My clone rifles now use one from the link below.

There are cheaper paper and plastic kind on eBay but these from CLW are aluminum and are custom made for each rifle.
