[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Came across a Colt AR-15 A3 tactical carbine .223

Posted: 10/5/2003 7:39:42 AM EDT

A friend of mine has found a Colt ar-15 a3 tactical that is not marked LE. It is in .223 and is in mint condition. Everyone I have talked to would give their right nut for this rifle. And these are people who know what they want. Some say that this gun is the top of all desired colts. It has all of the preban NO NO's anyone know what this rifle is worth. I think it might go up for auction. If so www.tradefirearms.com is my place for this.

I'll trade you an AK or AK variant for that! The AK is much better and all our highspeed boys uses them!

Tradefirearms, if the serial number is above BD000134, it is an unmarked LE Colt and ILLEGAL for you or your friend to own unless you are LEOs. The reason for this is that Colt did not start marking them "For LEO use or export only" until the beginning of 1995.

I would either sell it quick or hang on to it for a long time. Everybody & their mom will have onr of those in 11 months (I have plans for 6 myself)

There's one in the local shop... in the $4500-5000 range. Don't remember exactly... way out of my price range.

BTW if you put an original HK in your car you are either very rich or very stupid.

I'll take the HK 91.

Then I'll take the HK 91 right to my local FFL and sell it and buy the rest of the guns.

I met a highway patrolman who had the HK91 as his duty trunk gun!
