Bushmaster XM15, ES2 AK

Most likely designates AK style muzzle brake that Bushmaster installs on some of their 16" Carbines. A new one will run about $750. I don't see that particular model over at the SWFA website, but the rest of the Elite 3200 series run anywhere from $175-$250. The bipod could be a chicom or a harris, so I'd figure $40 for that. 30rd mag=20 and 2 10rd=20. I'd figure he had a little over a grand invested in the gun.

I'd offer $850-$900.

Sound way high considering that there is a 99 percent possibility that the rifle is a home build or a Century. Most folks selling a DSA or a rifle biult from a well known builder will definitely state so in the add as it raises the price. Home builders are building them for about $400. About the same price as a Century.

There is a gunshop down in my area that is making a killing by selling kit guns and advertising them as genuine Belgian or FAL. An original will cost you some serious money.

I don't know much about the different FN-FALs except that for military semi-autos, I like them.

I have a friend that just offered me one built on an Imbel receiver, aagain, I don't know if this is one of the good receivers or one to avoid. But it was the gun that he built (he's a very decent smith so I'd trust it was well put together) and about 15 20 round mags for $500.

No clue on the AR, but I paid $650 for my 99% RRA and three 30 round mags that came with a mount and rings but no scope.

As always, different regions can have drastically prices on certain items.

Imbel recievers are among the best out there. You wouldn't go wrong with one. Before buying a "home built" rifle I'd give it a thorough inspection and do a good test firing with it prior to purchasing.
