This is my first post. I will be receiving my first AR on Friday. I have been shooting for 25 years and have several other guns and I also reload. However, I know nothing about AR's other than I always wanted one. I saw an opportunity to trade a gun I don't shoot much anymore for one and so I thought what the heck and went for it. Upper: A2 Hbar "Keyhole" (Cerro) Barrel: 16" ERShaw 1:9 Chrome Moly with perm attached flash hider Lower: Double Star (Brand New) LPK: DPMS Bolt/BC: Not named but listed as brand new Stock: 4 Position with an aftermarket grip Condition: Used Like New, with some new parts Here are my questions.. 1. What should I refer to this rifle as, is it an AR15 or what? 2. How much is it worth, what would you expect a price tag on this to say? 3. How does it rate in the world of Black Rifles? Thanks for any help.. |

i would say its probly worth 500-600 dollar, while its not a popular brand such as colt, BM, armalite, or RRA, from my expierience, your rifle will do everything that the more expensive rifles will do. i have built two from various parts like you have and the end reults were allways good. they were just as reliable as any high end AR that i have shot I would refer to it as an AR or AR15, to me any sub-16 inch carbine is an m4, even though it does not have the m4 barrel and is not full auto |
Forest nailed it - franken gun built with many less than tier 1 parts. I agree with the $600 tops figure. Many guys on this site have similar rifles that work just fine. A lot depends on what you will do with the rifle and how hard you will use it. I personally wouldn't own a rifle with parts of unknown origin and quality. Don't mean that as a rip on you.  Welcome to the site!

The Double Star lower is a good lower, on par with the 'top tier' guys. I have worked on quite a few guns for a security company, doing basic service (springs, triggers ect), and found the DS lowers to be very well done. No out of spec parts. I have a complete DS gun done from a DS stripped lower, and complete M4 kit. It's fine. Every AR maker has made lemons....... |
