Is a NIB Colt M4 a 'deal' at $900 ?

Forgive the idiocy. I'm not up on AR-15's. This is advertised as a NIB MT6400C, 16" barrel, 1-7 twist flattop.

What should I look out for?

Thank you.

That is a fair price for a new one - not spectacular; but not out of the realm of reality either.

I'd look at the internals for wear to verify that it really is NIB.

Thank you, Bartholomew.

Do you know if it is a former "pre" or "post" ban rifle? That would help in determining whether it's a fair price. For a former pre ban, that's probably a good price, but it's average for a post ban.

The 6400C is the civilian (post ban) version of the M4. It has no bayo lug or flash hider and has a pinned fixed fake collapsible stock. If any of these are important to YOU I'd put the $900 towards a LE6920 which is the "legalized" LEO M4 sold previously only to Law Enforcement. Now they have all the "EVIL" features in a brand new Colt, since the ban has sunset. OR you could always buy a 6400C and add a M4, Vltor or Magpul collapsible stock, flash hider etc.... on your own if you wanted.
