Dropped off my AR to the local shop to sell. If it sells, it'll net me a $500 profit that I'll use toward a new build.

They had 5-6 ARs on cosignment but the people were asking a rediculous prices ($3500 and up). The shop said those will be hard to sell

Couple more pics of that RED-X upper:

Nice, hope it sells in your area! My area prices have dropped below $1500 for normal AR's now

Nice guns Francis. Like the looks of that Red-X upper.

Well Camera and Lens should be here on Tuesday, just in time for my 2 days off

spectrrr · 02-22-2013, 09:32 PM

nice nice, plenty of time to get to know her

yeah, that red-x upper is pretty nice looking. Funny thing is, if I parted it out and sold each one on gunbroker as parts, the PSA gun would fetch a couple hundred more!!

spectrrr · 02-22-2013, 09:36 PM

That redx upper is brand spankin new.... not sure whether I should run a clip through it in the morning and sell a "tested working" gun... or leave it be and sell a brand new gun....

emopunker2004 · 02-22-2013, 09:37 PM

leave it NIB

I have a trade offer for my S&W.460 mag XVR revolver (with 100 rounds) for a 20" double-star 6.5 Grendel upper with 350 rounds of ammo,five mags, Nikon one piece scope mount and a cheap scope.

A good friend of mine and myself are planning on building grendels for hunting purposes (Four legged) anyway, this sounds like a good load testing and general fun upper.

Your thoughts? would you trade a 1K revolver for the package?

spectrrr · 02-22-2013, 10:07 PM

Thinking I'll sell my MINI 14 as well.... keep the mags, sell the gun. Two AR's in the house will be enough for now, and I can always buy another mini later... but it will be nice to have the cash in reserve while I'm in south America.

Don't feel like lugging that around on my should tomorrow though... two ARs will be enough.... I'll probably just post it on gunbroker. Easier to post a mini14 online than it is to post a parts gun.

spectrrr · 02-22-2013, 10:13 PM

Crap.. just noticed that both ears on my dog (Lab) are full of pus... trip to the vet in the morning may be in order rather than the gun show.....

emopunker2004 · 02-22-2013, 10:15 PM

Francis, ever get your ammo shipped?

Sorry bout your dag

spectrrr · 02-22-2013, 10:21 PM

yeah, got the ammo shipped finally. he spent a few minutes looking up regs, and finally took it. had my hand poised on the speedial

yep, vet scheduled for 11:45, and gun show is an hour away, so no show today! And I've learned that the Sunday show is USELESS for selling... Another show in 2 weeks, but that's an eternity in this market... So possibly off to gunbroker with the parts.

larryinlc · 02-23-2013, 10:24 AM

Has anyone here ordered a Henry rifle lately? A friend and myself ordered two 17 hmr Golden Boys last October 6th and they're still not here. I know they were having some production problems with tooling for the 17 hmr and then the hurricane hit, but 5 months seems like a long time. Just wondering if anybody has tried to order anything through Henry lately.

emopunker2004 · 02-23-2013, 11:29 AM

Is the dag going south with u?

spectrrr · 02-23-2013, 11:56 AM

NO.... the dog is a presently a huge problem. He was mom's dog (although I grew up with him), but she was forced to go to assisted living last year. He's a healthy farm raised 12 year old dog, no major health problems (today was his first ever ear infection). Best damned dog I've ever had, well trained, not an ounce of aggression in him. And even at 12 he's still got an 18 hour bladder. Breaks my heart to see him go, but I've got to find him a home. A REAL home, where he'll be loved.

emopunker2004 · 02-23-2013, 12:16 PM

That sux bro. I know it's gotta be hard.

Beautiful gun. Never looked in to building one and probably never will. What does it cost at non gouger prices to put something like that together? Bought my neighbors DPMS 243 after he passed away at a great price, but might want to get a 223 eventually.
