Hey all, I've shot 556 and 762x39 all my life but want to get into 308.  I have an offer to trade my MSAR-E4 with ACOG for the following.  I figure he has about $2300 of stuff on the offer while I've got more like $2800 sitting on the table.  I could also keep the ACOG and add some ammo or something to even it out that way.  What do you think?

His rifle:
- Scout squad M1A
- Black synthetic stock
- MI forward Fast Fire 2 scout mount and optic (cowitness)
- Smith gas plug
- Smith gas lock front sight
- Smith vortex flash hider
- 7 20 round mags
- 6 pmags (556)

My rifle:
- OD MSAR E4, 16" barrel
- ACOG, TA01NSN
- TR-1 tactical rail with a cheapo laser on top
- manticore charging handle
- neu-trigger
- 6" rail, currently at the 3 o'clock position
- 6 USGI mags
- 3 point sling
- includes all the original parts I upgraded

I would say with the rifle and acog, you have more on the table than he does. The scout squad is usually between $1100 and $1500. The mags bring his total up but your acog would be the price of his rifle.

Up to you bud. I would remove the acog from the trade personally.

The scout is around 1600-1698 new.. Buds last price was $1600 and its hard to beat them..   I have seen the MSAR around 1800-2000    The M1a is a better rifle than a MSAR....(in my opinion)    Id do without the ACOG.. 2 different animals... just depends what you want.  I like the SCAR platform not much on a MSAR, Maybe different if I had the real deal in a AUG..  but just not into them bull pups..
