Price on the AR is $1200 (asking price, I didn't ask about a cash discout).It's for-sure Pre-Ban.
In a different shop, I saw another "Pre-Ban" that was listed at $1200. The guy behind the counter said that he'd take $900 for it before I even asked the price. It's an A2 setup with scope and carry handle mount. Looking at the lower rcvr., it looks too new to be 10 years old to me. The rest of the parts, maybe...
Let's just say that I'm suspicious of its legality. If it's a REAL Pre-Ban, it's a heck of a deal. The guy behind the counter is a genuinely honest and cheerful-seeming sort. I don't think that he'd INTENTIONALLY mislead someone...
On the HK, I didn't even ask the price. Considering that it was something I'd only seen in pictures, looked like it just came out the case, and was obviously Pre-Ban, I knew that the price would only make me sad.
So sad.
