    Agreed.

    I decided my first accessory for my Bushy M4A3 was a 2-stage trigger. Second was BUIS to clear the rail and prepare for optics. 3rd will probably be an EOTech 512.65.

    (I'm probably throwing on a Hogue grip, but at $15 I don't think it counts as an "accessory". :wink: )

    I voted optical because it has nothing to do with any of the other choices you gave. All the fancy add ons are not worth a damn if you cant hit what your aiming at. :wink:

    +2 on what You Have. That said, I have no problem with the iron sight, at least yet. :wink: Yes, I have shot a few with the fancy-scmancy optics on them. Personally I have found that I'm not that fond of them, YMMV though.

    For a cheap upgrade, I would recomend the Hogue grip, I just got one last week, and put it on My M4gery, even though I haven't shot it yet, I can feel the differance.

    I have a stock Bushmaster M4A3 w/16" barrel. I have 4 mags and 4 on order.. Are mags really an accessory? I consider them as a necessity. I do have the stock sling that came with the rifle but considering a tactical sling.

    Ahhh sling can be the last of your worries. The GI sling is more than workable with practice for all sorts of situations. Practice with it. I was going to buy a fancy sling until I started practicing with the GI and then I changed my mind.

    Has anyone said AMMO?

    Maybe if you want a fancy M4 style get a railed forend. I recomend the Larue 7.0 I love mine.
