Well, if it makes you feel better, I just paid 2850 before taxes for my 11721. Still kicking myself for not buying one years ago but I figured it could be now or never, with all the BS laws they're trying to pass. Luckily I found one on gunbroker from a dealer in state, about 2 hrs away, thear accepted layaway. I actually won the auction for 3200 but since I'd have to pay taxes they lowered the price. Took a few months but I finally got it with the last stimulus check. I already knew there were certain things I wanted to do to it (the stuff I listed in my first reply) and didn't want to extend the process and go through the hassle of changing stocks and tubes and making sure I was keeping up with 922(r) so I bit the bullet. Night sights would have been nice but I bought the meprolights on optics planet. They were $85ish dollars, and I got $21 back in optics bucks to use toward a future purpose, so that wasn't bad at all.
