Hey i am looking to buy a M-4 in the near future, Most likly after the holidays.  But i dont want to go into the battle field with a shitty gun. i wanted to know what a good set up for the gun would be, but i also do have a very very TIGHT budget.  i know i want a laser cuz i cant aim worth crap, and maybe a silencer so they cant hear me when i miss.   so i am askin you guys what is good but cheap.
thanks guys.

[shadow=black,left,300]I would recommend a sling so you don’t have to carry your rifle when your clip runs out. Instead you can just throw it to your back and pull your side arm. I would try to get a scope to more so then a laser because lasers give your position away.[/shadow]

It really preference more or less...The one thing that I would make sure you get is extra mags, a lot... You don't need to be in the middle of the fight and run out of ammo or have a very limited number of rounds.  It would also depend on what kind of situation that you are going to be doing as far as scopes.  If it's CQB your not going to want a big old 2.5x16x53 scope, although it looks cool it would have no usful purpose in close courters where it is usually the amount of rounds you can throw at your target rather then accuarcy. A red dot scope works quite well for CQB and even flashlights work great. Spectre has one on his MP5 and when you get shined with that you can expect some welts on your face. I would go with the red dot rather then the flashlight cause you don't give away your position as much.  If you plan on doing something other then CQB then a big scope is fine but you are going to have to remember that your not going to snipe someone with a stock M4. So personaly i think a red dot scope should work fine but ask around some more and see what everyone else thinks...

better get it quick, i hear Colt is pulling a Glock and suing for trademark infringement. id suggest getting a hicap mag. these guys might not like em but when you dont have to money for lots of mags, its cheaper. Id also suggest a barrel block to stop it from breaking. Or better yet buy a SR16 from ...WGC i think, they have a special for 272 bucks you get lots of crap as well and shipping too.
