it would take a while to look all that stuff up online.
and you will get maybe about 1/2 of what each component cost new.

i dont know if you are trying to buy that stuff or sell it but....

Righteous · 04-07-2008, 05:29 AM

800 -900

L.A SOLDIER · 04-07-2008, 11:25 PM

evilblackrifle · 04-08-2008, 12:11 AM

If you can get it for $800, you should get it.

You know the 14.5" upper is a SBR ... or does the Phantom make it 16" OAL?

You may want to see about parting it out. If it's a true Colt M4 upper, some people would pay top dollar for it.

LarryO1970 · 04-08-2008, 11:41 AM

Agreed Pred ... especially for all Colt parts...

Pred · 04-08-2008, 11:52 AM

Well, that lower would cost about $350 to build. That rail costs over $300 new, and don't quote me on this, depending on how good a shape that upper is in, it may be worth.. well, I just saw a Colt M4 SOCOM barrel, alone, selling for $450. Just saying, parted out that gun may be worth more like $1000.

LarryO1970 · 04-08-2008, 11:54 AM

LA Soldier... why are you getting rid of it?

at4rxj · 04-08-2008, 04:45 PM

Is it new or used, and if used, how much?
New, that's EASILY a $1200+ gun... How much is it going for? That would be an excellent setup. I would keep it if you get a good deal on it. Very nice stuff, all of it.

USMC · 04-08-2008, 10:27 PM

I'd pay 800-900

L.A SOLDIER · 04-08-2008, 10:39 PM

While prices do vary from region to region, I think 1600 is on the high side for used. If all the parts are like new, maybe 1200 top dollar. Other than the Colt parts is isn't anything special. Someone had NEW ar's in shotgunnews for $599.

That seems a little high, but let's look. These prices are approximate, but we'll get an idea...

Lower:
Standard Forged Lower 110
RRA Lower Parts Kit (Standard) 70
Magpul MIAD Grip 35
Magpul CTR stock 150 for full kit
Milspec Buffer Tube/buffer/chrome silicon buffer spring

Upper:
Colt M4 Upper ??????
Colt M4 Barrel (real M4...14.5", 5.56 NATO, 1:7) should be incl with upper
Colt FSB (factory cross pinned) should be incl with upper
LMT or RRA Carbine Gas Tube 12 (but should be incl)
Phantom 5C1 flash suppressor (perm. attached) 30
LMT or BCM BCG ~130, or get one incl with upper
Bolt Internal Upgrades
LMT Charging Handle 25
Daniel Defense Lite Rail 9.5 FSP 300

Not sure on the pricing of the colt upper, but you can get a CMMG complete upper with 14.5" 5.56 1:7 for about $550... That's with the bcg, barrel, gas block, gas tube, then you can add the fh and rail on there. Let's call it $750 instead of $550 for the Colt name. That puts you at $1445 without the bcg and charging handle upgrade. If you count a fee to put it together, even minimal, you're not far off. I think you'd be just as happy, though, sticking with a cmmg/lmt/even rra upper and saving a lot of money. The rail you chose is great if you're worried about weight. The bcg upgrades you listed are great, if you'll be using this as a duty/combat gun. If not, I think it's overkill. In all reality, for the parts listed, and NEW parts, it's not too far off, but maybe a little high. I'd look at what you really need, though, and you could save 300-400 easily...

That's also not a CA legal ar.
