mister_e said:well, you also have to consider that quite a few manufacturers use similar and vastly different terminology to identify their products.
for most, M4, is basically the collapsible stock (whatever kind they want to use - or their idea of what a collapsible stock should look like), and a barrel that has the M4 cuts (contour) to it. Some have the bayo lugs, some do not (seemingly no matter if it is pre or post ban - and there is no ban anymore)
A3 usually means it is a flat top receiver. For some, A3 includes the removable A2 carry handle, for others it doesn't.
so, you can pretty much call it anything you like, as long as you know what it means to you.
go back to the store and take a closer look, or call the sporting goods counter and ask them what brand and model they are.
