Mega Arms Mater 308 question???

[lazzwarbird]

Hopefully I don't sound to unintelligent here. I recently got in trade a Mega Arms Mater in 308 that was built by an employee of Mega Arms a few years ago. It is supposedly built of all Mega Parts minus the BCG, Buttstock and gasblock I believe. Has a 16" barrel and Magpul adjustable stock. It has also only been fired 10-15 times. I am by no means an AR guy, mainly stick to bolt guns. My question is, if I were to sell it, what would you figure would be a decent price on it??? I can snap pictures of anything that would help. Thank you in advance!

That's a nice rig.
The MaTen receiver set is one of the most desirable on the market and sells for close to $600 (receiver set alone)
The buttstock is a UBR and almost certainly the sought after (out of production) Gen 1 $250
The grip looks interesting....don't see the blister bump of the A2.
The handguard might be a Mega which would be another premium part.
Barrel ? Who knows.

You'd be well north of $1500 if you tallied everything (at retail)
I think it would sell fast at $1000 in this market.

Thank you for the info, I appreciate it. Supposedly the barrel is what Mega was using in their guns at the time and he couldn't remember the manufacturer.

Yeah.... I would concur... Looks like a $1000 rifle to me.

Mega has made their own barrels for quite some time so I would venture to say that it too is probably a Mega Barrel. It will have the Mega logo on it if it is and should be visible if you look closely at it through the rail in just the right angle in just the right lighting.

I will check that out after work. Thanks again everyone for the help.

Try to identify all the components for your sale ad.
The grip for instance, might have a company logo on it, etc, etc.

The barrel is marked Mega Arms.

If it's the Maten built by a Mega Arms employee, odds are it has a Mega Arms Barrel.

Personally, I wouldn't let it go for a red cent under $1500.00

I have one as well and have contemplated selling it and I'd ask $1800.00 and probably take $1500.00 as my bottom price.

It's nice enough that I would keep it before selling for less.

Maga made some of the very best reciever sets out there

 

[Ops]

you can always go down in price.

1500.00 is fair as it is a mega arms and they no longer are made as a full complete rifle by mega you shouldnt have an issue and if you list it on ar15.com you could get maybe 2k as they are more educated and know a good rifle.

My bad, I noticed after a reply, otherwise I'd have deleted but than the poor guy would look like he was talking to himself.

I'm considerate like that
