I just bought a buddy's (2003) Bushmaster M4A2 (fixed carry handle) with @ 1000 rounds for $700.00. If I had to do it again, I'd much rather have the A3 model. I'd dump that carry handle and take the options for different sights/scopes. Then again, the A2 has bennies for a solid sight set up (can be knocked around more), compared to exposed BUS (back up sights) or scopes. Take your pick; just remember you have NO option to remove the handle on the A2 version, but it can be scoped.
