I'm sticking to $1700 and a local pick up. I might go as high as $1800 but he hasn't been returning the Email i've sent him. That's fine, I'd look silly clearing the house with 2 M4s anyway and I'd probably feel a bit awkward.

So, what do you guys think is a "reasonable" price for that M4?

I'll offer $1700 cash and I'll drive over and pick it up. That's the best I can do. If you're not interested that's cool. I wish you luck on your sale.

A bit more than I was expecting.

Ditto. I have one already but I wouldn't mind sporting one in each hand. And I'm in Lake County so it'll make for an easy pickup.

I remember reading somewhere the SEALs are adopting it as well, replacing the mossberg 590A1 and remington 870. I had a link but it won't let me post it since this is only my second post here and I need at least 5 posts. I guess you have to do the elbow work and google it yourself. I almost bought a Mossy 590A1 but my wife stopped me and said it was too expensive. I'm glad she stopped me cause I got my brand new M4 still wrapped in plastic in the box for $1299 due to a shipping mix up with Benelli at the local Gun shop. Sure that's considerably more then the $500 price tag that was on the 590A1 but she doesn't have to know.

I was just at carriercomp.com and it says there's a "2-3 week lead time" on the mag tubes. What exactly does "lead time" mean?

From my understanding, you can order a Kip tube and have one within a month. It's a bit of a wait but not that bad, so I don't see how they're considered "hard to get". I could be wrong and I hope I'm not since I just ordered one less than a week ago and I was hoping to have it within a few weeks from now. On the carriercomp website it says there's a 2 to 3 week delay on the tubes.
