Help me price this AR upper...

Are you including a bcg?

So @$740 retail for a new setup. If I was a buyer I would price out using lowest found prices which I would bet I could find them for at least 15% ($630+ shipping = $675)of that retail price and then offer about half. I'd start at $350 and would not go over $450 before I would just go with a new set up. Warranties matter to me and is a big reason that if I were to buy used parts I would have to get a very good deal. Good luck.

Warranties? On uppers? If they exist, then Ive never heard of them

OK, maybe they don't, not sure. But usually when you buy a new item from a store and there is an issue with the purchase I can take it back to the store for help. They may have some pull with the manufacturer or may swap it out. No chance of that if buying used from a stranger.

If I was selling it, that's probably what I would ask. If I was buying, I'd offer $400.

I would hold fast at $500 fwiw, it only takes one person who really wants it.

List it for what you want but I'd expect it to sell for $350-400. Sounds like a very quality set up but between being a frankenstein and the BCM/Palmetto sales it's tough to sell a used upper.

Is the upper an older one that doesn't even have the location for a forward assist? (I replaced one of these uppers with a more modern one once) Or is the forward assist simply not installed?

Does the rifle have a A2 sight post? I'm assuming so because of the short rail. It just dates an upper, just not what people are looking for these days. (It is a cool swap to grind one of those down and hide it with a new free float handguard, but that would be getting rid of the most valuable part of your upper, the dd handguard)

It has a place for the forward assist, just not installed.


Here is a pic to answer your second question. What would you say it should be priced at?
