No offense, but that "AR15.COM SBR" logo on the lower is tacky as hell. You did great getting $1,600.00 out of it. As for here locally, AR's are a pretty hot item. The lady across the river (about 15 minutes from my house) in WA, says she cant keep them in stock. Also one particular Colt I was eyeballing at a little hole in the wall gunshop/mini mart/gas station (yeah, its weird) out in the country, didnt stick around very long. If it hadnt been in Washington, I would have taken it home with me. Now Washington has stupid restrictions on selling semi autos to Oregon residents. They only wanted $1300.00 for that colt. It was a twin to the sporter target pre ban I bought about 6 months ago. So it seems that in my area, these rifles arent sitting on shelves taking up space. As with any particular firearm, some sell better at different locales. The pre 64 model 70's I find here for dirt cheap, at times, is a prime example of that.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Now that they've got their brandy new bullet button AR's, maybe uncle Zuke and uncle Dorsey can chip in a couple billion to help them out with some $1/rd ammo. Them 2 being so communal and all.

NO, have been busy sending scared folk to others I know that have them for sale, man I'd have to keep at least one 7.62 on an AR platform, so damn effective on barriers with the right bullet, while back Bud brought out some new and old soft and hard armor, the 150gr E-Tips ate them all, not to mention what the 176gr Lehighs did to a piece of bullet resistant laminated glass THEN ate the armor, the 308/7.62 is a rough little customer.
I had a big AR 10-T too, a 15 pound all up pig, but a hell of an accurate rifle, shot 175gr Sierras in it.

No offense, but that "AR15.COM SBR" logo on the lower is tacky as hell. No offense taken. I agree with you. I ordered it sight unseen as part of a group buy on AR15.com. I thought about Cerakoting the whole rifle to cover it up but never got around to it. You did great getting $1,600.00 out of it. Thanks. After factoring in the upgrades cost I still lost money. I think a big value issue for the AR-10B models is that they do not take Magpul magazines. Even Armalite has stopped offering B model complete rifles although they do still sell B model uppers.

There's a guy here that started doing Cerakote for customers not long ago. He's got some dough and Invested in the equipment to do it right. Been pretty darn busy these days. Lol. Know another guy deep down in Dade county that's done a couple things for me. He's been doing it for a good while and stays super busy. A lot of his work is custom car parts.

Its a great platform. I just dont shoot this one much and the creedmoor is much more accurate. I know, I might as well be wearing a man bun, but after shooting the performance center 6.5 the other day with my boss and buddies, it impressed the hell out of everyone there. As a comparison, they were missing a lot of the targets, set up at 400, with their 300wm bolt guns. I let them shoot the 6.5 and they were easily hitting the 4" plate. I dont think they missed a shot with that rifle, while they had to drop down to the 12" plate to make consecutive hits with their rifles. No one touched the 2"plate except for me. 2 for 5 isnt bad for an AR. The 4" plate isnt even a challenge with that rifle, while the 308 routinely hits the 6" plate. Its only a 1.5 moa rifle. But its damn consistent. Ive always ran 168's out of it, maybe I'll try some 175's for chits and giggles.

I was just curious to see if they are selling like hot cakes or not. I get on there and check listings and am very surprised at some of the prices. Of course some are NOT selling at their ridiculous buy it now prices. I was mainly looking at the Armalite AR10T models, since I may decide to list mine there. I just don't use the 308 very often. Never was a huge fan of that cartridge. I don't know about the auction sites, but here it seems like the only thing the local stores have on the shelves are ARs. Very few bolt action hunting rifles, almost no lever actions, no single shots ... but maybe a couple dozen ARs sitting side by side. I find that surprising given the civil unrest that was predicted via COVID & hoarding, the BLM / Antifa riots and murders, and the presidential election. I would have thought the ARs would have been hardest of all to locate. Strange. Very strange. So you could look, you could try, but it doesn't look like this is a good time to sell if it is an AR you are selling. Tom

I know you suggested the 178 Eld a while back as well. I have 500 of the 168's loaded up right now. I saw some 185gr juggernauts a couple months ago and told my friend he should try them in his 5R he insists hes going to use at COSSA. They were in factory FGMM anmo. He bought 5 boxes of them to try in his rifle.
