did you even bother reading the post? This isn't GD nor a GD discussion. This is for appraisals and value questions.~d16man ETAAs of today, the original source (and other places) of my NOS FN M16A4 upper that came without the bcg/CH is now OOS, picked up last summer and less than 1k rounds of lake city brass or better through it. Only used a bcm CH and mags with a lantac carrier group and always kept it clean. Mostly slow fire use with the SDE to a couple occasions of double tapping through less than a single mag. It consistently cycles 4 o clock with an A5 and it groups on par with every other one that ive ever seen. Swapped out the A2 with a wilson accu-tac and havent touched it since. What is this upper worth now? (as it was sold, excluding the other stuff i had prior) |
So, never give up. Continue to fight. You’ll either find a win here and there, or you’ll die fighting. I can accept either of those outcomes. - EdwardAvila
| IIRC that upper was between $5-600 new. With 1000 rounds through it, minus bcg and ch its probably a $4-450 upper now. Maybe a little more since we are in a panic time. Keep in mind PSA has an FN CHF upper with a Geissele rail in the $550 range. |

| I have an almost complete rifle I got from the Remington bankruptcy auctions. OD green factory anodized upper and lower. Lower is Remington marked and made in Huntsville. Barrel is a 5.56 1:8 DPMS marked barrel that does not appear to be chrome lined. Stock is marked Bushmaster. Rifle was missing CH, BCG, and FCG. I've personally never seen another Remington marked OD green reciever set. Rare or just another DPMS wearing a Remington costume? |

If so, Remington did a bunch of colors, although most are cerakote. CDNN had them and Bushmaster's on sale for around $500. If it is the anodized, you might could get more as ODG is popular right now. |

I wouldn’t value it at $500 either unless someone really wanted it. |

This one should be pretty basic I would imagine. This is a 6920 OEM1 that I bought new in August 2019 from Arms Unlimited, added a "colt furniture kit" from cdnn, a surplus carry handle, and swapped the barrel for a new Colt 14.5 with pinned & welded A2X. About 500 rounds fired. Any idea what a fair price would be in the current climate? ETA it has cage code throughout, QR code on the side of the lower, and the barrel is NOS with a C MP.

Since it was an OEM1 there was no furniture, and I sold the 16" barrel on the EE to help pay for the 14.5". I think I'm probably into it $900 or so. I'll probably keep it for at least a while, just like to have an idea what's fair in case an offer comes along or I suddenly want to fund something else. |

I have a couple Colt AR15s I bough new years ago and never fired but wondering what the value might be. It is a pair of consecutive serial number Colt model 6520s with "blue" labels on the box. I saw elsewhere a reference to "green" labels. Any ideas on value for the set? I was told some time ago that consecutive s/n Colts were relatively hard to find. Both are NIB with all accessories and unfired. |

Ok, I have a Diemaco 11.5 inch 6933 upper. Its used but in good condition with no abnormal wear. Upper is Anchor Harvey and Diemaco "D" stamped. Barrel has standard C MP CB markings. It has a complete Diemaco BCG as well, Diemaco D stamp on the carrier and MPI on the bolt. I believe this upper was always meant for the US so I am probably 90 percent sure its got a standard Colt US barrel and not a Canadian CHF. So anyone have any idea on potential value? It is at all rare or desirable, more than a standard US colt upper or just a slightly unique oddity. Is this worth keeping over say a similar US Colt 6933 upper or something like that? |

Built up an 11.5" upper with a Geissele Mk4 Federal rail. Thinking I want to move it to help fund other projects. What would be a reasonable asking price for this build list? - Colt CAGE code upper - LMT Enhanced F/A BCG - Colt 11.5" 'HRT' profile barrel - SF Closed Tine Warcomp - Geissele Federal Mk 4, ODG, Gen 1 (short bottom rail) - Geissele ODG Airborne CH - Barrel dimpled, FSB cut down to lo-pro gas block, and upper assembled by Marvin Pitts of Nefarious Arms Probably 250ish rounds on it, all told? Pics for attention: Attached File |

| I have a Cav Arms (pre Cav Aid) fully assembled lower with a Stag USGI trigger type LPK. It has been sitting in my safe for years. It has A2 buttplate assembly. I would have to check to see if it is a plastic door or aluminum. Any idea on value? I have no pictures, but it's just a regular black Cav Arms lower. |

FBI clone builder will definitely pay more and that dimpled bbl is the cherry on top. Eta: I am in no way an expert on valuation. Just running a mental tally of components new vs EE history. |

A bit more (to the right buyer) than it's Colt counterpart due to the unique forge mark. If bbl is D stamped, value jumps. |

I have an HK91 and HK93 that were my father's. He died in 1992 so I would assume these are 1980's or older. I have no clue but just looking for a ball park figure on them as I am looking to sell. I am currently out of town or I would post pics. They have been safe queens that I take out to clean every few years just to get the dust off of them. |

Hello. Needing a little help with a Knights Armament SR-15 E3 Mod 2 complete upper that I’m considering selling. It has 600 rounds and is in excellent condition. No scratches, dents, never dropped. It really does look new minus the minor wear on the bcg. What price would you sell this in the current market and is there a market for it at this time? Thank you!!! |

Gentleman, I have a Aero Precision “patriot” .308 lower with an American flag roll mark, and model # 4JULY1776, I’m curious what a fair price for these would be? I also have an unfired PSA 7.62x39 complete upper with BCG and CH, (16”, carbine length, M4 cut).. I am wondering what a fair price would be on that as well. Thanks!  |
I got this in a trade deal. looks like an older upper on a newer lower. since the finish doesn't match. it came with the ET Cetera 37mm launcher and a bunch of smoke cartridges. It looks like if I take off the launcher off it would take a early triangular handguard. I know the handgrip is after market. What is it & how much to ask for it. Should I seperate the gun from the launcher to sell. Thanks for any info you can give me.     |
Times are tough, so I'm considering parting with a rare Colt MT6851DC 20" HBAR Conversion Upper, but unsure of pricing to list it. Comes with the original Colt Bolt & Colt/BSquare flat top scope mount. Also have 3x 20rd Factory Colt converted 7.62 Mags(now 5rd capacity, 7.62 followers and floor plates) and one factory 5 rd with the plastic bottom section and 2 Frankenmags. Will be adding back regular handguards, but left off for pictures of markings. I do not have the box or manual.

I picked this up in a trade but don't know much about the Colt 6520 values, especially older ones. It came from a retired gun dealer who states it was never fired and this appears true. It is a blue label, 1:7 barrel, and does have the sear block, etc. Definitely like the looks of it vs the later editions. Thanks for any input!  8853EA9D-5B6F-4AB0-96A7-739B8587ACCF by m b, on Flickr" /> DE13FB77-3D07-425D-8529-93CFA950DD4A by m b, on Flickr 3BAB9F57-FE63-4243-81B8-058D9571B13E by m b, on Flickr
