By way of introduction I thought I'd post up what I'm best known for, which is the Explanation of Features and Comparison Chart of Major Brands of Commercial M4 Carbines (http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pwswheghNQsEuEhjFwPrgTA&single=true&gid=5&output=html), also referred to in most circles as simply "The Chart".
The valuable information here is the Explanation of Features. The Chart has long ago become a basic representation of what is out there and available. I have run out of room to keep adding every maker that lives out on the right-hand side of the Chart, and so pretty much only makers who are hugging the left side are added at this point. Please don't ask "why isn't brand x, y, or z on the Chart". My suggestion is that if you read the E of F and find features that you think you want, email the list of features to the maker you're considering and ask them if they include them or not. A caution here, as anything other than a "yes" answer is typically the beginnings of a runaround. If they say "no, but..." you can pretty much ignore everything after the no.
Please feel free to post the above link wherever you like, all that I ask is that you email me with a link to wherever you post it so that I can keep an eye on things.
Also please feel free to follow the instructions on the Chart for posting to the original thread on M4carbine.net if you have corrections you need made, and post here or contact me if you have questions about the Explanation of Features.
