Now that colt LE9620's are off the market, what is the next best option out there for M4 clone? I'm not building one, I basically want a semi auto M4 in the $1000 or less price range.

M&P Sport II or the Ruger.
(Heck if you catch a sale right you might be able to get 1 of each for $1000 or just a tad over.)

Any of them from a decent manufacturer. ARs aren't that complicated and there's nothing special about Colt. Specs are specs.

I'm assuming they're both very reliable?
I'm just going to put a light on it, otherwise I'm not doing anything to it. I had a colt previously and sold it. Really stupid move on my part

As reliable as a Colt or military rifle with proper care and maintenance.

That's a good assumption for a purchase. It's not a good assumption if you're actually going to have it for a contingency no matter what brand it is. Whatever you buy, go put a couple hundred rounds through it. Then you know it's reliable.

Academy has great sales on the mp15

A basic BCM is a top end rifle for mid level price

I was just about to ask what you guys thought of the BCM RECCE. Are their barrels good? I was thinking about getting their precision version, or the lower tier version and replacing the barrel.

I always do that with any automatic I buy, mainly because i dont trust the clips
Posted on 3/27/20 at 12:52 pm to jimbeam
I was looking at that one.
I do want a 1:7 barrel so I can shoot the heaviest bullets in the off chance I ever decide to hunt with it

FN is contracted with the military and uses the same specs for their civilian models
Posted on 3/27/20 at 1:01 pm to Buck_Rogers
The $1000 FN is what I wanted, but they arent in stock anywhere.
I miss my colt
I'll probably get whatever the cheapest reliable rifle I can get is

BCM's hammer forged barrels are made by FN. I think.
Posted on 3/27/20 at 1:11 pm to DownshiftAndFloorIt
These are available:
FN M4
FN M4

My 1:8 barrel shoots 73gr. rounds just fine.

They also make the barrels for PSA, or did so when I bought mine.

BCM complete upper on an Aero lower is about the best you can do for around $1000. Always my rec for a budget gun. Less than that, Ruger MPR is my choice.
