Like the title says....

I am contemplating selling my 551A1.  I've put less than 100rnds down range and really like the rifle but I have a 556P with a SANS lower that is way more fun.



So what does the group think?

I would sell it to fund another firearm.  I really like my Sig 556P-turned-SBR as well, and I just don't see the point in keeping it if you have something you already like better.




Rifles are just possessions.

Thats pretty much how I look at it anymore too....material stuff.


Next question is to figure out a value.....thoughts?

The cabelas by me is selling one for 1700 so I'd say around 1500.

Its in the EE for $1500.  I saw a couple at Cabala's for near $2K...crazy.

I just bought one for $1100 nib but without mags, from Colorado.

You can get them NIB for 14-1500

I'm aggressively looking for one - but at a killer price (<1200). I have a sig 556 classic with both lowers (m4 style and Swiss style ) the Swiss lower doesn't match the upper but for all intents and purposes it's no different than a 551a1

Thanks for the info.  Looks like the market has really changed on these and a price reduction is warrented.

That is crazy. That is how much people buy real Swiss rifles for in Europe.

Congrats on the sale.  I marked mine down since there is only one magazine.

I'd sell it, but I'd use the funds to begin saving for a 553P.

JMO.

Yeah, the thought has crossed my mind too but a new house has a higher priority with Sink 6.
