| I have a Pre-Ban Olympic Arms AR type rifle in like new condition - it has truly been a safe queen. I would like to sell it to finance a dedicated 3 gun AR. Does anyone have insights into how to value a Pre-Ban AR and how to sell to a" non-free state" to maximize its value? |

Quoted: Lonewolf_545 might be able to help. Not really, I've been willing to sell my preban Colt's to folks up north in ban states but nobody wants complete rifles it seems, just the lower receivers, and I don't see much point in stripping down a Colt rifle to do so. It pops up as a topic in GD on occasion, just look in the EE for what pre-bans are selling for and decide whether it's worth the hassle. |

I sold a pre ban Bushmaster lower a few years back to a guy in NY. I think I got 500 for it. Stripped.
Now some pre ban mags I had I sold for like. Meaning I sent them to a guy in CT I think it was and he shipped me some new mags. Post it in the EE and see how it goes. |
| $500-$600 for the lower and $250-350 for the upper (depending on the configuration). $800 if you want to sell it quickly. $900 if you are willing to shop it around or if it's a 16" in good shape. $1000 is asking a lot. The only pre-ban rifles I've seen sell for 1k sell in MA or NY and usually come with a letter from the manufacturer that it is in fact a pre-ban. |
