It is CAMO ...


I have a CAV Arms  lower.
Upper is a 14.5 w/ pressed on Vortex.
Flat top upper with extension rail
Tasco 3x9 scope <- cheap but a rabbit, rodent, skunk, bird in a tree/power line - killing machine...

Have maybe 200 rounds through it .

Only prob --->
Can't get the thumb safety to move.
- thus - it is always in the FIRE POSITION ..

Works fine - just not able to put it on safe.

I was thinking $800

What do you think about the price  ???

Figured I would ask before before I put it on the EE.

well most of us can pull a new ar for 650...


But as for the trigger it just might need a new spring...

I personally find $750 just a little high for a rifle known to have a FCG problem.  BUT From your description of the problem could be  the selector detent pin is missing and the end of the spring is bearing on the selector.   Can probably be fixed in under 5 min with one dollar part.

Price depends on a lot of things.  Among them:
Who made the upper?  
Is the barrel stainless, chrome lined or chrome-moly?  
Are there any manfacturer's marks on the barrel?  
Is that Krylon or what?
Anything special about the BCG?
How clean is the rifle?
Distance... I prefer to buy rifles within reasonable driving distance and am willing to pay a bit more than if it has to be shipped.

Good luck with the upcoming sale.  

YMMV

A broken, used gun with a cheap scope and a FH you cannot remove. I do not see how this is worth much to anybody. $300-$400 tops.

Yeah; sounds like the fellars here have it figured out.  You might try Gunbroker after you fix the safety switch.  You'll pull more off Gunbroker than you will in the EE simply because everyone here is (or thinks they are) an AR expert, but on GB, you get all types.

Personally, I'd permanently affix it to the Amphibious Assault Bass Boat you've got (same camo scheme, right?) and thus, you raise the price of both!

Actually sold that thing.
Someone else will be tearing up the Ducks with it from now on.
