I wanted a Surefire Millenium M500A for my M4gery, until I priced them. As you all may know- msrp is $515, I could get one for $390 from a dealer here on thr. Still too much, IMHO, as I am cheap. Not so cheap that I would just duct tape a 6P light to the handguard though, and I didn't want to use one of those mounts that attach to the front sight or the barrel.
Then I was thinking of a quad-rail forend and mounts for it. Still a lot of money.
Anytime a M500A appears on Ebay they go for around $300, which was where I was going to be looking.
Then, while browsing craigslist.org a couple days ago I found someone selling one for $200. I called, set up a visit, and went and looked at it yesterday. The owner had recently won the newer model (with the LED "navigation" lights) in a raffle and no longer needed this one. It was in pretty good shape, used, but in overall good condition. When I say used, it was no "safe queen", the guy is DoE security at Lawrence Livermore National Lab.
Doesn't my "safe queen" look so pretty now?
Only problem- my Wilderness tactical sling no longer fits. Does anyone have a solution for that?
