Why would anyone pay more for a LEO marked rifle?

Why? I can have my local Knick Knack shop engrave the same thing on it for $2. |

they would mess it up for that as well. You have to have a specialized hard metal engraver. I saw a local shop try to engrave a AR lower and f'd it all up becuase there engraver couldnt handle the type of metal.

Aluminum? Even hard anodized aluminum is soft so I would call BS. I could always send it to Tom Sawyer and have him do it for like $20. Is that better? |

Being Bushmaster stopped producing them collectors will generally pay more, I also look forward to seeing their value increase in the future as well, I could be wrong |

Prebans are not holding any more value here than a used postban (Colts maybe alittle). The marked Govt/LE models are bringing about $100 more than their postban equals for some reason. I wouldn't pay more for one marked Gov't/LE only but apparently there are those that will.

Prices for those of us behind enemy lines have tapered off and have been pretty stable.
Colt lowers range from $450-550 with Bushmasters about the same. Some have recently gouched for $600 for a Bushy, but they generally come down on the price. Oly/PWA/Sendra/etc. generally fetch $300-450. EA J-15 receivers are at the low end, fetching about $300 consistently. These are just patterns I've seen over the past year. Complete rifles are generally fetching $1000 or more, the occasional off-brand going for $700-1000. I would rather see you, as a private seller, do the gouging as opposed to someone picking it up from you and selling at a gain up here. Then you get screwed and we get screwed.  - BG |
