I stopped by Del-Ton this afternoon. They're 3-5 weeks backlogged; expect the big guys to be even worse. My recommendation is to purchase the basic flattop (w/detachable carrying handle - it's cheaper than most BUIS) M-4gery and spend the extra money on other "gaps" and ammo. Most vendors can put one in your hands fairly quickly for +/- $750.00. The more "high-speed" the greater the cost and the more likely you are to experience delays/shortages, especially in today's market. (Remember - "Walter Mittie" has to have the $1750.00 Secret Squirrel M4A25 and his panic buy will skew the high end market. Accessories are luxury items that risk analysis (mine  ) says won't be affected immediately. 99% of them can be user installed with patience and common sense after the market stabilizes. Go to Brownell's, open an account, get their AR specialty catalog, and shop from it.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
