Whoah.

I mean, if it's that kind of "trade..." Good luck and have fun, kids!

Ya what's up with that

My guess is he means “pRe-HeAlEy”…if you’re in that boat who believes it as law. But given the noobs out there and some of the WTB ads in the classifieds, I’d bet many will pay a premium for one.

Calling a pre-healy "pre-ban" is nothing short of fraud. And I've seen pre-healy's advertised as pre-ban in the classifieds before, I hope nobody got taken by them.

in the gun circles i travel in, it's known i want a colt delta elite 10mm. i have had someone approach me and suggest a trade. i give him one of my pre-ban, built at home, ar rifles, he gives me his "minty" delta elite. straight up trade. i was thinking more along the lines of i strip one of my ars...take off the upper and the pistol grip & stock (both magpul) and trade the stuffed lower for the pistol. i don't keep up on values of the delta elite, mostly because i never thought i'd get one. gave up that thought years ago. what do you think? am i asking for too much with that stuffed lower? no big deal if i keep the rifle whole, i just don't want a lopsided deal. thoughts...

Trades are f***ing terrible with VERY limited exceptions. (I've done a couple here that worked great for both sides) Usually, however, there's always a loser.

There's no way you're going to get a DE for just an AR lower unless its like a factory kac or something. Or unless the guy is dense/stupid.

In the big kid world BS like pre healey, AR in MA etc doesn't have a big value bump.

Also do you have a guy to work on the DE? If i ever bought a new one id want to change half the stuff on it.

Hold up.
What kind of pre ban are we talking about here??

None.
AWB was sept 1994. ‘And nothing else matters’.

This exactly

 

[looser38]

yeah, after looking at the prices @paul73 put up, sounds right. but those delta prices are all over the board.

As are AR builds, especially in this hell hole.
Make the trade, the clock continues to tick.

 

[variant_1776]

on ar type rifles, it does in massachusetts.

That is the X-factor. In nearly any other state you could use the standard "Can I easily get another?" to weigh the trade against.

 

[LuvDog]

Did you trade yet?

 

[greencobra]

i don't know what happened to my guy here, he went on radio silence...he's mia. so no trade happened. hopefully he's alright. right now i just think life got in the way, maybe i'll hear something later on.

bought in 2011, the year i joined nes. i brought 5 lowers in and carl at 4 seasons would do the transfer at a 50% discount if i was a nes member. went right home and joined nes pronto.
