Pre-bans sales are going to freeze up until next September. You would be insane to buy a used rifle that in one year may lose 70% of its value to a new equivilent.
I say this because it will be hard to get a good price quote as people's theories on what to do is all over. |

17L2,
in the Government Carbine you have a weapon that is relatively scarce and that's good. However, if you possibly can, wait until the first frost to sell as prices tend to be depressed in the hot summer months and to increase when the weather turns cooler. Whatever you decide to do be sure and sell this year as I expect prices to decline as the possible expiration of the AWB approaches next year. $2000 seems about right for your package. |

Thanks for the input! I think you're right 5subslr5, the time to sell will be in a couple months. In the meantime, now might be a good time to pick up a preban Bushmaster at a fair price. I have a couple postbans but the Colt is my only preban and I want to have at least 1 with preban features just in case the AWB doesn't go away.

So if you want to have at least one preban then why are selling your Colt. Also, I couldn't understand by your post if it has a slabside lower or not. I believe the slabside to be far less desirable. Just my $.02.

I want a rifle that I can modify, change uppers, try a different stock etc. Due to the collector value of the Colt in original form, I don't think it would be wise to play around with it. I don't want to ruin it's collector value. And it is a slab side. |

Since it is a slab side it is less desirable. However, it is the most desirable weapon to own out of all the colt slab side versions. It would be Confusius smart to leave it in its current config..
