Help me price my AR15, looking to sell maybe.

ranger2339 · 07-18-2008, 22:38

I'm looking to sell my AR-15 and get a handgun, I dont have anyplace to shoot it and just have it around for home security. so I was thinking maybe you guys can tell me what its worth, so I could sell it at a fair price or trade for a handgun.
I dont know much about it, as I got it from a guy for helping him build a deck a few years ago. I've maybe put 100rds through it since I've had it.

What I do know about it.
Made by Stoner.
Has Titanium bolt and carrier.
Rail System
Unknown optic, like a CCO.
Comes with a soft case, in mint cond.
Its a post ban upper. Has weird plug thing in flash surpressor.
And some other misc. stuff you can see from the photos.

Any help would be great.

What information is listed on the lower receiver? Mfg, Model etc.

It would appear to be a Stoner SR-15, from KAC.

The paint is not original, is it?

Its hard to read whats on the lower, because the guy spray painted it. So no the paint is not original.

All it says is SR-15 M4

CAL 5.56

Thanks

Axe;

It is illegal to sell a long gun without it's replacement on hand. Pistols do not count.

At least it should be

I still have an SKS and a Mossberg in house.
What I really want is a DPMS AR-10, or something like that.

Like this beast!

I agree that I would not be comfortable without a 5.56 carbine on hand, especially with the political winds of change coming, but you know your situation best. You can pretty much guarantee an effort to renew the AWB, or something more draconian when the fall elections are over. Solid Dem majorities in both houses of Congress and in the White House will make it hard to find someone to look out for us and to say No.

You are going to take a price hit with the paint on it. The value of something depends on finding a buyer who wants it as well as a seller. The used gun market is pretty flat right now. Best way to do this is a face to face swap with someone in your area who really wants one.

You could throw it up on the AR15 dot com Equipment Exchange and see what interest it generates and if it worth your while to part with it.

Here is an upper only:

Don't know much about KAC, but from what I have heard the DPMS would be a downgrade. I am no expert on guns but depending on what scope you have on their you probably can't touch that new for less than 2k.

I'd have a difficult time parting with your KAC if it were mine.

I had no idea that KMC (it says KMC on it,not KAC?) was any good.
I'm going to do some more research on it and then make my decision. I agree that not having a 5.56 in the house would fell odd, since I know the weapon so well and there is lot of ammo in the states for it.

I would like to change the suppresor on it to the pre ban though..

Edit:

Ok so I scraped off some of the paint, so I could read what it says and it says KMC, has the logo like a KAC, serial number is KM11153, when in all the pics I see of the KAC ones the serials start with KA and they say KAC on them next to the logo? Maybe its a knock off, I dont know?

The FS is pinned and welded, and will take a gunsmith to replace.

I would keep the upper as is and buy another to change around.

KMC is Knights Manufacturing Company aka Knights Armament Co.

Edit: Paslode beat me to it.

After more searching I found out that I have a varriant of the Mil. Spec M4, made from Knight's Manufacturing Company (KMC).

Here is what I have in basic form, I think. Mine has a few more add ons, a titantium bolt & carrier and all that Jazz. So I guess it would be fair to say that this weapon was over/around 2k when new.

I think you fared pretty well on that deck build! LMT's Enhanced BCG retails at $285 so I would bet you Ti BCG is at least a 2 to 3 bills on top that. My LMT MRP was about $1500. $100 for the bipod, $300 to $500 for the scope maybe more. 2k plus.

Keep it.

ranger2339 · 07-19-2008, 21:35

I didnt even really build the deck, I was just the cut man and

Im just going to keep it, I didnt know is was a good rifle at all. I almost sold it for 1k to a guy last week.

Thanks guys.

I hope it was a very large deck
