I have an opportunity to buy a very nice PWA lower with preban Colt carbine-style upper, telestock, with virtually no blemishes or wear that I can see on it for $1,300. Is this a reasonable price to pay? I'm not familiar with PWA, however, the lower appears to be forged and has a finish not much different than my postban Bushmaster. The rifle's owner has had the rifle assembled with the preban upper prior to '94, but only recently had added the telestock. |

I sold a few PWA prebans for 150$, of course this was prior to the ban ;o} If you are patient you could get one of the big three for 1400. I often wonder if Prebans are worth the money when a person can get a full auto Mac for 1200. And for a lousy 1k more than some prebbies you can get an Uzi. Good luck in your purchase. Ropes |

S. and P., PWA lowers are of Excellent quality. I own two, and my dad owns another. PWA is out of business now, bought by RRA, but their lowers are forged, and top quality. The preban SN cutoff is 34,222, IIRC. There was a list you could check here somewhere, but I don't have the link to the serial number page. Colts are higher, because of their collector value. Not a thing wrong with having a preban PWA lower instead of a Colt. Yes, I would buy the gun, at that price, but try to bargain him down on it-I bought my last PWA/Bushy preban in new shape for $900. That's kind of hard to do every day though. Juggernaut |

i like the PWA's just fine. the quaility is top notch. they functioning always seems to come from the upper your using. i've had Olys and PWA's only but have freinds with colts and other than prestige, they are the same. PWA receivers have a nicer finish than the pre ban Oly's , i think. good luck , scott |

See if you catch me paying extra for a A/B/C lower when these others are out there. Juggernaut Juggernaut |
