A2 PreBan Values?

[hickok45]

Hi,

I have an AR-15 (circa 1983) Pre-Ban in very nice shape. I'm thinking of trading it for another rifle. What are these babies worth these days? I've not seen one lately for sale.

I dont know if this will help, but I just picked a preban bushmaster 20" barreled competition with fixed carryhandle, the rifle was without box, papers, etc., but it did have a rubberized scope of some unknown manufactuer on it with one of those carryhandle mounts-----anyway, I was tax, call in fee, and out the door for less than $1100 dollars, the rifle appears to be in near new condition, Ill know this morning how it shoots...The store I bought it from the guy said he could bet anywhere between $1500-$2000 for it in a private sale.....I do know of a Colt competition model of the same configuration that has been sitting on a rack in a gun store for almost 2 years, unfired, brandnew, and the guy wants $2000 for it.......I have a hard enough time paying what I consider an inflated price for the rifles, but apparently people are willing to pay it, as evidenced by my purchase.........fubsy.
