	[BOB KRAMER]  Craig, if you want a good user M4, don't go lookin' at
no stinking unused collectable!  When I first starting looking for an M4
last December, I was in Boston and visited Park Square Camera.  Carl showed
me one of those
black-paint-somebody-died-or-climbed-mount-everest-they-only-made-twelve-of-
these-babies specials for a mere $3800.  Of course he was just goofing with
me, but I didn't even want to touch the darn thing!

	What I did find was that by looking around a little, you can get an
exc++ user M4 for between $1100 and $1500, which worked for me (just don't
expect to find it on ebay).
