no ignorance on your part,,actually its one of the wisest question on this board,,its was originally an M1 super 90 tactical model,,use a straight stock,21'' ventrib barrel,oversize your controls,limbsaver recoil pad,make sure it is sling friendly and a good quality mag extension and a modified ported choke of your choice,,,,I really miss this one much more over my other ex the M1014 ,,it is alot lighter, versatlity of interchange parts and has a higher mag capacity,,as far as them selling that ruggedness pitch sale of the M1014/m4 or the collapsible stock gimmick,,your wasting your money,that m1 was far funner,,got more bang for the buck,, and just as tough.oohhh the flashlite is some tacstar model I threw on there.
