Hello all,
I've been thinking about shooting some service rifle this year. I've shot f-class for a fews years now and think it's time for some thing new. The AR is totally new to me, so I was wondering what I should expect to pay for a good USED A2 service rifle. I saw one that is a rr lower with a WOP krieger upper and jewel trigger that's used but have no idea what its worth? Any help would be great. Thanks Scott |

My first thought was Registered Reciever (an M16A2 machinegun - worth about 12-16k) With a kreiger barrel and jewell trigger they probably want a pretty penny. If thats what your looking for it might be worth the extra. Is the jewel trigger service rifle legal? You could probably build your own for $700 to a $1000 depending on who you source parts from. FWIW I might pay 1k for a krieger barreled upper with a jewel trigger if that was exactly what I was looking for. Much more than that and I can put it together myself with new parts. |

I just picked up a used Rock River National Match upper half (albeit an -A4) for $450 including the sights and a harris bi-pod, no BCG. I don't think an -A2 version would be far off from that price. Obviously you can spend into the stratosphere with something like this, but for $450 plus a lower that I already had, I now at least have my foot in the door and should be somewhat competitive if I do my part. If I take to it, I'll spend the $ needed to win, but I just want to learn and try things out for now. |

Go here and ask any and all service rifle questions. Then monitor their equipment exchange. This site is the go-to board for all things NRA high power. http://www.usrifleteams.com/forums/ ETA: I built one using a new white oak upper, geissele high speed, etc. for a total of 1200. |
| I just bought an ARMALITE M15A2 (20" medium weight barrel) in mint condition for $820. They sell new for over $1000. To put a free floating forend and match barrel on it will be another $400, but I intend to keep it stock for my first year of Service Rifle competition. |
