[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How much is my upper worth ?

Posted: 9/3/2002 4:22:57 PM EDT

Its a Colt Pre Ban chrome heavy barrel, 9:1 twist,
A3- Detachable flat top. Has bayonet lug and flash hider.
On the barrel it says " C MP 5.56 NATO 1/9 HBAR.

At a gun show once, I was offered $600 for it.

What is so special about it?

Thanks

What barrel length is it, what's the fr. pivot pin size & what color is it? The fact that it's a Colt is a big part of the interest. If it's in mint condition complete with b/c/ch & det. carry handle, the $600 offer was a fair offer.

I sold the AR6731DC upper kit in the picture below to someone on AR15.com about 9 months ago for $650.00.

It looks just like the pic SafetyAgentMan posted.
Its a 16" barrel. Small pin size.
I was thinking about switching barrels to save this one.
There is not a scratch on it. The complete rifle
looks brand new.
I have put the green furniture on it now.

Colt carbine uppers are always sought after and command a higher value. To truly preserve the value you should keep it intact and simply purchase another complete upper. You would be doing more harm to the value if you only swapped the barrel.

That's what I meant to say. I was gonna just buy another
complete upper for it. Maybe the M4 upper!
Either that or switch configurations on my AR 9mm
post ban and just never shoot the pre ban again.
Or limit the shooting of it.
