[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Now is this is a DEAL on an AR15 or what?

Posted: 6/7/2002 3:33:44 PM EST

Hello All, I was at the Ft. Myers Fla. GunShow this weekend. I was going to the bathroom and a guy was tying up his guns at the door. Saw an AR15 and had to ask what make/model and how much, well it was a like new 20" ss Ultra Match 1/10" twist flattop w/ original SGW stopsign and marked "Ultra Match" w/ Set Trigger marked "Set" between Safe and Fire. Simmons Presidential scope 2x7x44WA, 3 GI 30rd mags and a Special Weapons Assult Case. OK OK the price, he says I want $850. I offer $750. qik cash and he says Well? Alright. Made sure I got a Bill Of Sale and noted his Dr Lic info. Man I'm loving this rifle. Wanted one for years but never saw one PreBan for under $1600. He also had some other stuff but I had already gotten $200. from ATM. Wives have been known to do ugly things to their husbands so I didn't risk it, plus he got swamped by everyone at this point. He sold a S&W 41 long slide w/ comp $325., S&W 629 SS 44mag $300., and a Mini-14 SS w/ a bunch of mags and scope $350. Every piece was like new. Yep ouch ouch. Hey but I'm thankfull I got what I got. What is my rig really worth on todays market? Thanks to all.

Different BUYER, different SELLER, and different SHOW. Like I'm the ONLY guy that ever got a great DEAL. It's not like I paid $50.
Well what's it really worth seriously? Thanks.

No 3RNDBURST, It's a PreBan Olympic Arms Stainless Steel Barreled Flattop w/ lower marked w/ the older SGW stopsign insignia and marked "Ultra Match" above that, w/ Set Trigger marked "Set" between Safe and Fire. What would you say it's worth? Thanks.

It's sad when I used to come here everyone was nothing but helpful, now all I get is nothing but stupid comments. OK guys, could someone just tell me what my rig is worth, and anyone else have one? I am not A TROLL and I have been registered on EZ Board for some time as GunWhoreDer.

What's pathetic is all the intelligent replies you guys give this guy. If you think he is a troll in the first place why reply to his post?

I am new to this site and building my first AR. I don't think I would every ask a question here for fear of being heckled by a bunch of COOL guys probably twice my age.

I see it ALOT. I say if you think someone is full of crap DON'T REPLY and he wont post anymore.

Thanks mzzlebrk, maybe they are trying to be funny? If I was looking for funny I'd go to that kind of website. I posted here because this is where I thought I could get some good info. I probably gave more details than I should have (Bragged about my TOY) but hey I'm excited. The TROLL thing strangely enough comes from some guys that have over 1000 posts, If you guys were just being funny, then ok I laughed. Now why not answer my questions. Thanks, Miguel

Don't know the value, but that sounds like a nice weapon at a great price. Congrats!

Thanks BROUHAHA, I love it. the only odd thing is the Charging handle looks like 1/2 a crab claw. The thing sticks out quite far and is thinner than a standard one. Seems to be so it can be used with a low mounted scope. Anyone have an Ultra Match with this or is it aftermarket?

Sounds like a great deal. Why don't you guys leave him alone and answer is question. I've never seen any lowers with "set" stamped anywhere. Anyways sounds like a great deal. I unfortunately don't know the value, or I would answer your question.

Thanks anyway PEZMASTER. The "SET" is stamped in the position between SAFE and FIRE. Put it on "SET" pull trigger, put it on FIRE and it's like 1 1/2 to 1 3/4LB Pull, WOW. I'll be taking her out this weekend will post report and if I can figure how will post some Pics. Man you think these guys are giving me a hard time wait till I post on what else I bought at that show.
Not ready to give details at this time, but I will post more when I have pics to prove what it is. Thanks again.

I would like to confirm that this is a preban Olympic. What is the serial number? (You can give me a partial number, like F 26XX)

I had a preban ultramatch with the lion logo, and it did not have the ultramatch rollmark or the "set" trigger. So I guess we had slightly different versions of the same thing.

BTW, I sold my Oly for $1300.

Hello THUNDERSTICK, when did you sell yours?
On the lower is marked ULTRA MATCH above original S.G.W. stopsign, CAL 223 5.56,
MOD. CAR-AR, then A2-U1xxx and marked "Set" between Safe and Fire. Oly's website shows made in 1988. Same time the seller said he bought it.

That sounds like a Williams Trigger Specialties set trigger. He does those on HK rifles too.
