First of all, thanks to all of you who responded and everyone who makes this forum so great. I'm hoping to purchase an M-4 14" entry Model 11724. If I can square the paperwork away I'll get it because for about 1475 you get the stock and the gun and LEO credentials is not necessary, just the CLEO signature.
Plan B is to purchase an 18" 11707 and just outfit her with the tube and forget the collapsing stock. Best price I've seen so far for the 11707 is 1299.99. I will keep you guys informed and please note 99% OF THE LEOs OUT THERE ARE PRO GUN, PRO PURCHASE, AND PRO CARRY FOR RESPONSIBLE FOLKS. God Bless you all!
