But your M4 looks like it cost that much.
with the M203 and internals, yes. But it took months and months of putting that gun together , spending $240 on the gun then $80 on the mag I was set for another six months before i got the RIS and some of the internals. Plus im just talking gun and mag when i mentioned that not all people could afford an m249, i dont use both the box and m203 at once, that was just for the pic.
My M4 with interrnals, mag, and ris= $550
CA M249 w/o Drum mag= i belive its $850-$900
Big diff. up to $350
