NOTE TO MOD; IF THIS THREAD IS IN THE WRONG SECTION PLEASE CHANGE OR DELETE IT.
I hope this isn't in the wrong section. I need to sell a couple of my firearms. The problem is I don't know what a fair price is. I have asked a couple of local gun shop owners and friends who consider themselves firearm experts, but the price offered seems pawnshop low! Many internet gun shops are motivated by various concerns, So I decided to ask my NW firearm brothers and sisters for advice, ie a ballpark figure. I trust your alls' ballpark estimate more than these experts around here, God love em'! The first is a 'low mileage' (about 100 rounds) GI Mil-Spec OD Green.45 Springfield armory in good to excellent condition. I have an 10 round extended mag and the regular mag is a Wilson combat version with a plastic case. The second is a Bushmaster short barrelled Dissipator' AR chambered for the 5.56 NATO or the Winchester .223. What I like about the Bushie' is even though its a short barrel the iron sight is near the end of the bull barrel and gives a better sight radius than a sight mounted farther back. Not bragging but I can hit a 12 ounce can at 100 meters regularly. Once zeroed in you can smoke anything you can see with off the shelf ammo. I bought both firearms from an local gun shop. The AR comes with ten mags (30 rds) and one 40 round mag, with a couple hundred rounds of loose ammo and a factory case.
