Got an offer for an AR: what does CGNers think?

if you manage to get a Colt for anything under 2 grand, you've struck gold. Although this particular carbine has some mileage, you'll very rarely get a chance to acquire a Colt at the price your friend's friend is asking. Go for it!

*Sigh*

Sadly, this is simply not true (see my previous post). Here is the recent EE proof, suggesting that even at $900 Sporters are not hot sellers:

Looks like a keeper, I'd take it immediately! Colt's up there with the best, so if you manage to get a Colt for anything under 2 grand, you've struck gold. Although this particular carbine has some mileage, you'll very rarely get a chance to acquire a Colt at the price your friend's friend is asking. Go for it!

Whatever.

$1000 for a used parts gun or spend a few hundred more for a brand new rifle with a warranty.


Hmm choices.
