I've wanted an AR for the last for years but due to CHL and the AR price I had to get a few handguns first. So I finally decided to get one! Thanks to Eureka40 for posting the listing from TGT. The seller and I met up in Canton at DPS Office and talked for a good 15-20 min. would have talked longer but it started to rain. He was a real good guy even got to meet his wife, it was a very pleasant transaction. The Rifle itself is in Brand new condition. No scuffs, marks, or dings. Haven't got to shoot it yet but I'll be doing that soon. I'm eventually going to put Magpul FDE furniture, and an Eotech on it and replace the charging handle with a sturdier one.

Good lookin' black carbine
If you're looking to Magpul down the road, I'll highly recommend the ACS stock - similar to the highly regarded MOE and CTR stocks, but with a nice cheek rest that stores batteries for your EOTech and another little flip-door storage compartment for a take-down tool, cleaning stuff or whatever you like. I love mine.
For grips, the MIAD/MOE are hard to beat too.

By the way - why is Flickr asking for my Yahoo ID and password when I click on the pics? That's irritating and I ain't doing it just to see pics.
Fixed

Very nice. Glad it worked out for you and the seller. I've had an M&P for a while now, it's been perfect, you're gonna like it.

I'm leaning more towards the CTR stock right now as I personally don't need a cheek rest. However I do like having storage options but I really like the look of the CTR. Yes I definitely want to change the grip. I'm going with the MIAD as the stock grip is not very comfortable at all.
Going for a look like this: e.g. MustyYetisTacticalHQ(youtube) Flat Dark Earth AR-15
