6) Esthetic Problems
-- August - September 2005 (not sure of the exact date) One rear tab split and broke. Attempted to repair. Initially worked but broke again at the end of October 2005. "Tempoary" repair (I did this and was planning on purchasing another M4 but have not gotten around to it b/c college came first) by putting a bolt in place of pin and tightening just beyond finger tight. (my be the cause of my fire select problem)

10)Notes and Comments
-- I love my M4 and I will always have one in my collection. It works great despite the fire select and reciever tab problem. Whether using irons or aimpoint I can hit a 8.5"x11" target (piece of paper), everytime, all the time.
