Hey folks,

Hoping you all can help me figure out what price to sell one of my AR15s at, which I'm gonna post on here and some other places. I want to get an AR10, but I gotta sell one of the 15s first.

Can you guys help me figure out a good price to ask on it? A reasonable one? I'll post some picts when I get home. Here are the specs, and I've put about 100 rounds through it.

DPMS upper assembly w/ 20in fluted barrel (picture below)
CMMG lower, with DPMS parts kit.
CMMG grip
Magpul BAD
Magpul front BUS
Magpul PRS stock

Thanks for the help. I know I could dig around on forums, gun broker, etc and try to get an idea, but I trust a lot of you folks on here.

Here's the upper/barrel I have on it:

35985

Any rear sight or optics? I'd say $750-800. The PRS is probably the most valuable piece on that.

Ridge is pretty close IMO. DPMS doesn't generally pull much weight in the price category... Let's break it down they way I see it...

The upper, when new is listed at $700 (http://www.dpmsinc.com/Fluted-20-Bull-Barrel-Assembly-_p_1256.html)... realistically, and even after being used for only 1 shot, you might get $500 for it. There is a limited market for this upper to begin with...
The lower, LPK, (standard tigger??), cmmg grip, and bad lever might fetch another $250, tops.
The Magpul PRS, as Ridge said, is the most desirable part of your gun... however used, you might get $150 for it...

all in all, you're looking at $900 at most... $800 more realistically.

My thought exactly.

@Ridge, I'm keeping the scope on it.

You can pick up factory new ARs for $750 - $800, used frankenguns have dropped sugnificantly lately, especially since the now required Background Check on Private Party sales.........
Also a kitchen table build is a detractor, not that you are incapible properly building an AR, but a potential buyer doesn't know you from Adam.........

you could sell the upper on ebay...part it out and probably make more

I'd guess that if you part it out you could probably get $500 for the upper and maybe $400 for the lower with the PRS stock. Maybe.

This. I would like to know the specs of the barrel: twist, length, crown, caliber or chamber type.
clicked the link but if you could confirm that the correct upper and specs. Thanks

Sorry I wasn't able to post picts yesterday, so I can try to snap some good ones tonight, and I'll post them up on the sale section.
