Fellow Mod Justin IMed me with an ad from the local paper. Ad said something about two Ar-15s for $725 each. I called. One was already gone. "What's the other?" "PWA in excellent condition." "What's the serial number?" I say. He tells me. VERY low. "You bought it new?" "Yeah, back in the 80's" "I'll take it" I said. Drove the 50 miles or so to get to his house, and sure enough, just as he advertised, and got a little letter from him about buying it in 87. My new pre-ban for $725...yay!


Did I mention that it came with about $200 worth of mags and parts, to include a full set of field, go, and no-go gauges, as well as four Starrett punches?

Good things come to those who wait.. :D

What's a Starret punch? Used for lower takedown?

[Steve Smith]

Just a high quality tool manufacturer http://www.starrett.com .

Just so happened to come with a set of them, the mags, and a crap load more stuff.

Ain't no "Practically STOLE" about it, you DID steal it. Better go to church this Sunday and pray extra for forgiveness. :)

Hey, at least I didn't haggle with him like I normally would!

I bet that was a big wake up call for him that I didn't haggle at all and said, "I'll take it" over the phone. He's probably cussing me now and searching the net saying, "What did I just give away?!!!"

I just didn't have the heart to talk him down in price.

Damn ... I saw the ad too and almost called :cuss:
