[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Pre-Ban AR in Local Paper

Posted: 9/19/2004 11:03:50 AM EDT

Seems some haven't received notice that their (formerly) preban ARs aren't worth the equivalent of a used car anymore. Check this ad out from a major paper here in Arizona.

Sukebe-

Of course we know that a seller can ask any amount they want for their goods. I'm just picturing the poor guy waiting a ver ver long time for any interested parties to call for his pre-ban AR. That's all.

It is worth what someone will pay for it.

Modified old saying "Two fools met, one left with a gun the other with cash".

Yea but if Extras means the registered drop in auto sear then he did on a form 1 when he bought the rifle in 1985 than that's a pretty good deal.

I imagine his "extras" are some USA mags and, Orlite mags and maybe a leapers carry handle scope.

I check this particular paper's classifieds regularly, so I can tell you that this ad was not placed until AFTER the sunset of the so-called assault weapons ban.
