Our sponsor DK Firearms has them on sale for $409. Thought it would be fun to outfit like a gun we had in the AF. We called them GAU's. An SBR carbine M-16. While looking for parts, I learned that DPMS welds the flash hiders on their barrels. The rifle is a just because thing, no real purpose or need. The GAU hider was quite long. So the "look" would be lost but the gun still seems like a good deal. Any thoughts, my budget is tight. Brownells sells the hiders
