I have been mulling over the last couple of months on putting up for trade, my Pre-ban. It is a Colt Sporter Lightweight slabside lower, sear block, made in 1991. The upper is a upper that I got back in June of 2001 from the now infamous AZ Shooter, which was supposed to be a FN contract upper. It does have the Colt bolt and carrier in it. It has less than 500 rounds down the pipe.
This is how my ad would read
have a Pre-ban AR-15 for trade for several items I’m looking for. It is a Colt Sporter Lightweight Carbine lower, made in 1991, with a FN contract M4 type upper. 1/9 twist barrel, flashhider, bayo lug, M4 handguards, the upper does not have the feedramp cuts.. Furniture has been painted green and sealed with a flat finish. Lower is sear blocked and has a 4 position telescoping stock. Upper has had less than 500 rounds run through it.
The ARMS #38, Aimpoint, rail and foregrip are not included, you will have to furnish carry handle or sight system.
Will trade for the following- 1. A excellent condition, Post-ban RRA or Bushmaster lower with a RRA M4 upper with fake, pressed on flash suppressor, M4 profile barrel, M4 handguards and pinned telescoping stock. Do not need carry handle or sighting system. Green or Black furniture, it does not matter. NO EXCEPTIONS ON THE REQUIREMENTS ON THIS RIFLE. I stand firm on what I want on the rifle.
And -
2. Either a Sig P228, Walther P99 or a Beretta 92F. Would like them to be in excellent condition. Would prefer hi-cap mags if possible, but at a minium 3 mags. May look at other makes of 9mm’s, but a 9mm is what I want. Hi-caps, holsters-NO KYDEX, Night Sights, a plus.
Or
3. Cash difference - Somewhere in the $500-600 range
Please do not over value your Post-ban AR to me, I have already built one, using RRA parts for under $600, and know that most post-bans, except Colt, are in the $700-800 dollar range.
Looking for a face-to-face trade in Indiana or Kentucky only. I cannot entertain trades from any other states as for I do not have a FFL to have guns sent to.

I was going to list just the gun and sling, and keeping the Aimpoint and ARMS #38, the rail and forgrip.
I was thinking of looking for a Post-ban RRA or Bushy lower with a RRA M4 profile barrel upper with the fake flashhider and a pistol, like a P228, 92F or maybe a P99...or a cash difference...
I'm not really sure, about 60% of me says the ban is going to sunset, but there is that little voice in the back of my head that says it may get renewed forever... but cash is tight right now and I want another pistol and still have a rifle and this might be a way to do that. And I figure if I'm going to do it, now is the time, instead of waiting until the last moment....I dunno...
What do you all think?...thanks, Dan
