Opinions on my Colt M4? I think I'm almost finished spending money on it. . .

It started as a basic 6920...

And here it is now:

Parts list:
PWS FSC, 12" Troy Battlerail MRF, LWRC backup sights (they're made by Troy but have a rotating dioptic rather than a folding one), Surefire M600c, LWRC rail covers, Troy MCG, Aimpoint PRO, Ergo grip, Phase 5 EBRv2(>bad lever)/ambi charging handle/revo sling mount/single point sling

I haven't changed the stock yet, I'm not really sure which one I want. I don't dislike the current stock but I haven't really tried anything else (besides the basic M4 stock) so any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm going to cerakote the gun sometime next week. . .I need to decide on color(s) so I can order the paint this weekend!

Other than that I can't really come up with anything else :anyone: I need to be able to call this rifle "done" so I can quit throwing money at it :rotflmao:

Tiger-stripe to match that xd... Or a two tone black/burnt bronze. Thy would look killer

Ha I don't think I could bring myself to tiger stripe this gun. I've seen a couple of black/bronze rifles that looked good but they aren't my thing. I want to keep it simple, and if I go beyond using a graphite black/tactical gray combo then it will probably be OD.

I had an AFG further forward on the rail before, I may put that back on. I've been making myself give the vfg a chance but so far I'm not really liking it. I've moved it around all over the place and can't find anywhere that feels quite right.

Graphite/black sounds like a bitchin subtle combo. I prefer tans myself, but only because everyone has a black gun...

I already have a FDE AR. . .

BCM upper, DPMS lower. I'm building a new lower for that gun soon, but I wanted to "finish" the Colt before I went back to do more on the FDE rifle. For all intents and purposes I might as well just sell the BCM/DPMS though, I'll probably send Uncle Sam a couple hundred bucks so I can build an SBR. I'm waiting on my lawyer to finish my trust now so I can order a suppressor. . .

I'm putting the AFG2 back on the Colt, removing the middle section of the Troy VFG and putting it as a stubby on the backup (FDE) rifle to replace that plastic grip. It'll be a good place to store some backup CR123's for the Eotech on that gun if nothing else I guess.
