If it was a post ban i'd say go for it, but being a preban i'd still hold onto it for now. I've gotten the DSA crave also but cant even come close to affording it, especially since I dont even have all the things I want for my ar just yet (only have 5 30 rounders [:(])

Keep the AR because you'll just end up buying another one later anyway. Keep saving for the DSA or buy a kit (FAC has G1s for $99) and build your own for about $500 or less. Better to have a weapon in as many calibers as possible. You never know.

Do [b]NOT[/b] get rid of the pre-ban! You'll regret it for years. Ask me how I know.

Never, never sell a gun unless you are sure that you will never regret it.
I've sold a few over the years and have regretted only a couple of them - but that's due to a great deal of consideration beforehand. I stash my AR's in the safe (and sometimes I forget about them.) The "forgetting" part comes in real handy when cash is tight. Seems the guns are always still there when the dust settles. |

Save the pre-ban. Build the FAL yourself-you can part it up cheap and assemble it when You have everything.....check out the FALFiles, I'm sure you'll find someone in your AO who will be willing to help you assemble it.

Don't sell the preban! Get a pizza delivery job or something to save some cash for the FAL.

Sell the preban while you can still get some cash for it. 14 Sept 2004 it gets a new name:
USED OLD AR... |

Don't sell your preban. I've got a G1 kit from DSA that is excellent. DSA FALs are awesome, though.
My plan is to buy one the day the Ban disappears! [party] It keeps me motivated... |

Quoted: Sell the preban while you can still get some cash for it. 14 Sept 2004 it gets a new name: USED OLD AR... That will be interesting. I am curious what pre-bans will sell for on 13 September 04. This is kinda what I am thinking. pre-bans may lose 50% of their value overnight. |

Sylvan;
I have several pre-bans, and if they all go down dramatically because the ban is not reinstated, it will be the best money I ever lost...until it happens, I'm keeping them. The FAL is nice, but not worth the loss of your AR...keep it. |

Quoted: Selling a gun really sucks. That's pretty much where I'm at right now. Unless you are funding a serious upgrade, I never like to sell guns. But, with the lure of the high prices on pre-bans (that MAY go away pretty soon) I was tempted to make a killing on the AR and then get another one next year. But, I only paid about $800 for my AR anyway, so if the prices go down next year, I won't really lose much if anything. I guess I could be greedy and sell it, but I don't want to really. Thanks guys, I won't sell it. I'd rather even sell a handgun to help with the FAL purchase than sell a semi-auto rifle. Later. |
