That's a good deal, but I'd stay away from a 16" barrel with a carbine gas system. It's much harder on the gun and will dirty it faster. It's a quick fix to make a 14.5" M4 barrel to a legal 16" barrel while keeping the gas system the same. A mid-length gas system compensates for the extra 1.5" of barrel length. You also get a longer sight radius with a mid-length. I'm sure PSA will have a mid-length complete rifle for a good deal sooner or later though.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but 16" guns are fine with the carbine gas system. Most guys on this board won't shoot more than 1000 rds through their AR in it's lifetime.
