Hello all, I am brand new to the forum. I may as well be a newbie to firearms too. I have had some experience with recreational shooting, and am very comfortable safety-wise. However when it comes to making decisions on firearm purchases, I need assistance for sure.
I am a mechanic and a firefighter, and am 23 years old from a small town in northern IL.
I have been reading a lot on our 2nd ammendment rights and through this reading, I have become interested in increasing my gun collection.
I stumbled upon a thread on this forum from 2008 with regards to these rifles here:

I was wondering what your guys take on them is. I am looking to have something that will be fun to shoot, and use it as a general use, home defense, etc type rifle. They are sold as-is, but I have not read anything bad about purchasing them.
Are these the style rifles that can be fitted with different types of sights on the rear? Do these have interchangeable parts so that if I do run into issues, can reasonably make repairs? (Being an auto mechanic, tinkering is in my blood).
I was originally looking at some Savage bolt rifles but found the price of these M4s to be close enough to consider them instead.
What caliber round are these chambered for? .223/5.56? I could not find if it said what they take or not.
I am waiting on a paycheck that will be able to fund the purchase of one of these, so while I wait I will research. Any information you can give, will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much!
George
