    i'm looking at a colt ar15 at a gun shop . how can i date the gun .it is a sporter with the serial # 016296 . the price of the gun screams pre-ban and would only be worth thecost if it turns out to be so .it is in fine condition , it has a 16" barrel with what i think is a flash suppresor , a round foreend ,but no bayonet lug .the asking price is $1300 + tax. is that a fair price ? thanks for any help provided , steve

    Dabler;

    If you are considering the AR15, I suggest you go to ar15 dot com and check it out. There are several posts with questions like yours. IMHO you get what you pay for...

    By saving the $75 you will not get the case, sling, mag, owners manual, etc... that comes with the complete rifle. If you really want to save some money you could get a stripped lower receiver and a parts kit and put the whole thing together. Get the Marine Corps manual that covers assembly and it's pretty easy. I would get the upper that is factory assembled if you don't want to buy any special tools.

    Go to http://olyarms.com and check out their kits. Everything except the stripped lower for $449. Add your $95 lower and you have a complete rifle for less than $600 brand new.

    I just checked http://model1sales.com They have the kits for $400

    it's cheaper buying the 2 halves because the manufacturer doesn't pay the excise tax (11%) unless an upper is sold along with a lower... tax evasion to buy them in pieces and slap the together but I'm not sure anyone pursues that...
