Spikes AR15 tactical - what is it worth?

**D10** · September 13th, 2015, 08:56 PM

Not been on for quite some time but I have the chance to trade some items for a Spikes Tactical AR15 but I have no friggin' clue what those are worth. According to the owner he fired around 200-250 rounds through it.

Info and advice is greatly appreciated.

Thnx

Depends on the model but the new LE 16's sell for around $799.00 brand new.

that's what I thought..............thnx for that Hodgie. I asked because I thought I was being bamboozled with a 1400dollar price tag.

I am pretty sure that until their recent release of the Crusader rifle Spikes has never had a stock complete rifle that retailed for over $900.00.

Considering you can frequently get a Colt M4 LE6920 in the $800 to $900 range...yeah...you were definitely being bamboozled with a $1,400 Spikes.

ARs are very cheap in today's market.

That's well into "ask to have a sample of what he's smoking" territory.

In all fairness, it depends on what they have on it. Optics + QD suppressor mount + nice handguard can tack on several hundred if that's included. My rifles all double in price with what I put on them--a good can is 600-800 by itself, for instance, and mounts are usually 75-100 each.

Oh, and let's not forget that not all AR's are 5.56, and caliber options cost more.
