    22sport,

    Please bear with us while we try to find an adequate answer to your questions. There is some hesitancy to offer a fixed answer because of the current circumstances I'm sure.

    The prices for firearms and magazines such as yours are coming out of a very volatile period so it's a little difficult to pin down a value without having some sort of slant to the pricing which we would find available online.

    In the mean time, you might consider doing a search over on the auction side to see if you can get a start from some of their pricing. Use the 'Home' button at the top of these pages to take you right to the auction side.

    Best.

    In CA, we are starting to see dealers stocking AR's again. They are charging a premium, but not like it was earler.

    The model you have and the magazines you have, could have brought about $2500 a couple weeks ago. Right now, I'm seeing your set-up go for around $1400. The big rush is over. The panic button got hit and everyone, with any money left, went out and bought one. That pool of buyers is now saturated. The rest of us, with not a lot of money to spare right now, are sitting back and waiting to see if and how far the prices are going to fall. And, we're not gonna buy until they get near the bottom.

    That said, name brand uppers/lowers, and complete rifles are bringing a premium. If you plan to sell, I would get it listed on the auction side post-haste, while there is still a strong market. Your rifle, before the big panic was running anywhere from $800-$950. As I noted, I'm seeing Armilite and Rock River, Delaware Machine, Del-ton all selling for about $300-$500 over msrp. As opposed to a month ago when it was double, and even then some, sometimes.

    Just so you understand that may change in a week or a day. It's going to go down, unless gun control talk ramps up again. Today, your rifle and mags will go for $1400
