Just when you've decided you have enough 2.5" 66s...

There I was, wandering through a small show south of Reno, carrying a frankengun AR15 that I had $400-$450 invested. I wasn't there very long when I stumbled upon a table that had a nice 66-2, with a price tag of $850 - it included the original magnas and Hogue bantams. As I was leaving the table, the seller asked if I was interested in the 66 and, if so, that he would trade for my AR. biggrin.gif
She's tight and has no apparent flame cutting. She had a few beauty marks, but it was nothing a little Mother's, a soft cloth and a set of Eagle Secret Service grips couldn't fix. Still need to dress the yoke screw

The ole girl cleaned up nicely.

A fair swap, but I'm sure he will have an easier time selling the AR-15 thanthe revolver.
You did very well. With regard to the ease of the new owner selling the AR over the Smith that might be subjective. The 2.5 " 66s are very deserible - especially the lower dash numbers. A local Pawn shop/LGS has one long rack dedicated to used ARs (that don't seem to move) but nice Classic Smiths don't last too long.

Hard to say. However, due to market saturation, top $ for a Frankengun AR would have been $600ish, where the 66 would easily go for $750 to $900, even more for P&R models, in my neck of the woods.

If I put both on Armslist, at $750+ the 66 would likely be gone before lunch - I sold a -2 a month ago for that amount. The AR could languish there for months at $600, perhaps not selling for that much.
