M14/M305 is $400.00 from Marstar and upwards of $50.00-$150.00 from other sources for a plain jane with the toothpick wood....
...that's before half of it's owners go to town with accessories (or at the very least ~$100-$150 for a USGI stock, $30.00-$50.00 for a spring guide, a few others like $50.00 for Garand sights...)
So why wouldn't something in the range of $600-$800 be fair for a decent, plain AR?
The only thing I want would be some confirmation that it is imperial threaded and all sizing is compatible with either commercial or mil sized AR platform stuff.
