Do I need another AR?
I only have 1. Should I spend my $850 in gun money on one or just buy more ammo? *unfortunately doing both is a non-option. |

I'd get another, most likely last chance if Hilary gets in and she probably will.

This. If you can't say that your happy with what you have right now....your in trouble. Regardless of when she is sworn into office, the panic will begin after she wins the election. Then after she is sworn in, guaranteed one of the first things she does is EO another nationwide AWB. Once the panic is over, ammo will become available again, but probably taxed to hell. Soon after, Russia and China will probably invade the US 
This is one possibility, the other possibility, although sadly unlikely....trump wins and we have 4 years of resting from defending our freedom from liberal politicians.... |

Unless your MIL/LEO you'll be hard pressed to find a complete AR for $850, but you might find a lower for that. Or you could also get a decent complete Mak90 in the $850 range. |

A recent widow offered to sell me an unfired Eagle arms AR15 with a 20" heavy barrel, factory rifle with plain Jane iron sights. The rifle was originally purchased in the early 90's and came with a giant, heavy green case from the factory. Rifle is a Coal Valley rifle with SN that tells me it is true pre-ban. What would be a fair price to give her? Just to be clear, I would be buyer, not seller...I just don't know what would be a fair price without either her, or myself getting screwed. Any help would be appreciated.
Although unfired, I realize that it is considered a used rifle. The way I explained it to her was that it is similar to someone buying a car and parking it in the barn for 25 years. Even though the car only has 10 miles on it, it is considered a used car. |

I finally have something to add to this thread. A gun store/pawn shop opened up in a town near mine (Colchester) and I went in last night waiting on my Chinese food. Low and behold I saw a Mac. AKs aren't my thing but I figured I would share, it was $1500 and looked complete to me. The guys said it was on consignment if that matters at all.

Not too bad if it had nice furniture not the butthole stock. You can find them for $800-1000 on Gunbroker with butthole stock. Replacement furniture will set you back $150-200 for Ironwood. |

Would it be easier to sell a pre-ban rifle without a magazine? The serial nimbler on the rifle clearly identifies it as pre-ban, but there is only the manufacturer's name on the magazine floor plate. There are no dates, or other numbers on the magazine. All the original paperwork says that the rifles are shipped with one 30 round magazine, so I am wondering if that is sufficient to identify the magazine as pre-ban..both have the same manufacturer's name on them...rifle on it's side, magazine on the. Floor plate.
Would It matter much where it gets listed for sale (on EE, or gunbroker, or guns America). |

Ultimately the ffl will do the transfer so your shipping to them no matter what site you use. The rules are for prebans in ct. They are that same here as gunbroker. But you can put preban in the title and you will have an offer within a day. There are a few people who circle like an eagle waiting for them to pop up |

You can sell it with a magazine here in CT. If the buyer is not .mil or LEO then the shop won't transfer it until they pin it to 10 rounds.
If you want to sell the magazine separate. MA allows for pre-ban magazines. Those guys will pay for a standard capacity pre-ban magazine. EDIT: As John suggests, seller can send the magazine disassembled as repair parts. |

It is NOT the sellers responsibility to comply with the laws if they reside outside of CT.
I would simply ask the buyer what they want to do. Many shops don't want to bother with pinning a mag. Disassemble and send directly to the buyer. They can pin it themselves and reassemble. Everybody wins!  |

 Also, while I think this thread has merits and really like the idea of it, I feel like it should be reserved to deals for those looking for something. 90% of postings are not good deals and easily found. Just a thought, carry on |

Everyone wants a thousand dollars, no one wants to spend more than $3-350. So the question you have to ask yourself is: do you want to list your lower, or do you want to sell it? If you want to sell it, put it up sub $400. If you want to sit on a listing for a year, list it for $1000 like everyone else. |

a lot........... its funny listening to people saying 300-400 for a preban lower. ive seen a few on here in the 750-800 range for a lower thats beat up with crap stock only to be listed for 1100-1200 the next day ( which is cool)
i also dont think that the price will go down much, trump cant change our state law. we can vote out malloy and his idiots and replace them, but it will be years if even possible. maybe trump appoints supreme court judges that will re-hear out suit, but that is years out. hoffmans still sells complete preban ar15 rifles on the 2199 to 2699 range and sell out immediately ( people can use a charge card easier i think) |

I am with Steevo that the $300-400 price people spew for pre bans is BS.
Stripped pre ban lowers sell instantly when priced $750 or less. $1400-1500 is the sweet spot for a complete rifle. Colt lowers seem to bring a $100 premium even though other brands are a better choice for non Colt parts. There are some pre bans that have been for sale for a while priced much higher than this. |

Sellers haven't adjusted prices to match buyers collective sigh of relief. |
