So I've got one of these, with some AR15 addons, but I kept all of the original furniture. https://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/2008/06/05/smith-and-wesson-mp15r There's not a single one of these on Gunbroker, and I can't find any recent sales via Google anywhere. Anyone have an idea on value? |

Looking at S&W M&P 15's - closed auctions, sorted high bid count to low bid count, I'd guess anywhere from $400 on the low end to $820 on the high end. https://www.gunbroker.com/Semi-Auto-Rifles/search/completed?Keywords=Smith%20%26%20Wesson%20M%26P%2015&PageSize=48&Sort=9&Timeframe=1 2 in 5.45x39 sold on gunbroker: $699 https://www.gunbroker.com/item/946469966 $1099!!! https://www.gunbroker.com/item/950747198 |

Wise man stay away from 5.45x39mm. Much stupidity around its future supply there is. Especially with its 2 biggest remaining users slinging it at each other in massive quantities right now. Which really truly blows. It's a great round. Was sorely tempted to build a bolt action varmint gun around it. Topic at hand, $700-$800 high side depending on swag (mags, sights, etc). $400-$600 low side, 5.45 is a gamble. |

I sold off a tin of Rusky corrosive 5.45 during the plandemic. I still have another tin and a bunch of loose boxed 5.45. Plus a ton of mags. I briefly owned a Polish Tantal with the original chrome lined barrel bought from a friend. The S&W AR would be a nice gun to own if you're still sitting on a pallet of 5.45. |
I had a S&W 5.45 upper but it had a tight chamber. I switched over to ballistic advantage barrels and had better luck. The weak point to the system is the mags. I got so fed up with the magazine issue I bought a Vepr 74 and a saiga 74. I have 35 tins of 7N6 so I needed something to shoot that ammo in  I think model 1 sales still sells 5.45 bolts and extractors. |

Quoted: I have 35 tins of 7N6. You filthy WHORE!!!  I hope PSA starts pushing 5.45 guns out the door like hotcakes. Maybe then some domestic manufacturers would step up for the ammo supply. I've wondered why we can't make a decent steel cartridge case anymore. We used too. I've still got a couple boxes of steel case .45acp from the early 40's, made at the army ammunition plant in Evansville Indiana. |

Quoted: Smartest thing I did was buy it up when it was $100 a tin. https://i.postimg.cc/2ypWxTwW/20220624-155333.jpg I had a nice ammo fort before the great divorce of 07. I may have lost everything, including most all guns & ammo. But I lost that cheating whore as well. One of the best things that ever happened to me. I marries up like a mother fucker the second time around. Took about 12 years, but the ex & I get along fairly well now. Last kid will be grown in about a year & a half. |
