Greetings all, first post here as you can probably tell
I've been shooting pistols for a few years now and have been looking into getting into the AR-15 game. The main prohibition to this has been the price of what I am starting to understand of the "better" manufacturers.
I came across one for sale from a family member, but I would like to get an estimated value. Seller is asking $600.
From what I can tell it is 1978-79 production Palmetto State Armory AR-15, A2 style - as far as I can tell. The lower is the only part where there is an obvious manufacturers stamp, so I am assuming that the entire rifle was manufactured by them. Caliber is 5.56
All springs are new(-ish) and it comes with 2 30-round mags and 2 or 3 10 rounders, soft case, original manual, cleaning kit, scope, and probably around 100 or so rounds.
No idea on round count, but the bore looks OK under a bore-light. Both the fore-grip and stock are cracked a bit where each joins to the rifle, but I understand those to be easily replaced.
Is $600 a fair price? If it helps, it looks very similar to the one pictured in Post #7 here: http://m14forum.com/ammunition/117084-palametto-state-armory-has-free-shipping.html
