AR uppers???

[Fred762]

I have several AR15 uppers made yrs ago be4 forward assist. I am planing to sell them at the next gun show. What should they be worth? Excellent condition, 16" bbls, One has a bolt carrier too.

It depends on brand and specs. Are they chrome lined? 4140 or 4150 barrel steel? If you post the brand /model people could prob help out more.

Pics would be immensely helpful

I may be entering the worlds of ARs soon. I would be following in the footsteps of a great former moderator of the preeminent Pa. firearms website and doing it piece by piece. If your price is right on a decent upper I would be interested. If you are referring to the oaks show I am planning on attending.

I did not even know what a forward assist was untill I googled it a few minutes ago so I don't think I need one. I am good with a shotgun so that is my go if shtf.

they all 3 say chrome bore..no 'brand' but have the old military greenish finish. One has to assume they are 1-12" twist bks there is NO twist markings on them. They have the older triangular handguards and bayonet lugs. I just wanted a ball park figure so I can sell them.

Are they flat top or do they have integrated carry handles?

As stated before pics would eliminate so much back and forth trying to pick info out of you. LOL

If they are Colt surplus M16 uppers they bring a pretty good dollar today. Check out gunbroker to get an idea

Sounds like you either have original A1 uppers or copy's either way people pay good money for them for retro builds. do they have shell deflectors?

edit: just looking at gunbroker, it seems as prices have fell alot. probably around $350-$400 each

If they're old mil uppers, they might have a stamped or raised C on the receiver by the carry handle followed by a keyhole, "A", etc. What kind of muzzle device? A2 birdcage? 3-prong? Check under the handguard for barrel information...Does the front sight base have an "F" on it? Is there a brass deflector that looks like a wedge or a half-circle?

Again, pics would help big time.

Sounds like treasure to me. Don't be too quick to sell.
