Things you will want to know, if you really want to dork out on this:

1. What brand are the upper and lower? Additionally, who assembled the rifle?

2. What brand is the Bolt Carrier Group? are the gas keys properly staked? was the bolt magnetic particle inspected? shot peened? high pressure tested?

3. Who manufactured the barrel? what is its twist rate (i.e. 1 in 7 etc.)? is the barrel chrome lined or not? Is there a flash hider/compensator attached to the barrel and is it permanently attached? how long is the barrel?

4. Does the rifle come with any magazines? this is important because they are difficult to get right now. It looks like it only comes with one from your post.

red flags:

"All mil-spec parts" this is problematic because manufacturers are not honest and call something with a mil-spec finish mil-spec. But mil-spec refers to a lot, part dimensions, composition, testing, finish, and more. The claim that the rifle is all "mil-spec" is demonstrably false, because a mil-spec m4 would shoot full auto. Mil-spec doesn't always mean better, but it is a useful stand in sometimes. Clarify the bolt specifically.
