Frankford Arsenal?

Fellas,

My F-I-L has an older AR made by Frankford Arsenal. He was wondering if it has any nostalgic appeal to a market to where it might be worth a buck or two. I'm under the impression that it is one of those that is not old enough to make it special, but old enough to look like it might. Thoughts?

I just saw my first Frankford Arsenal rollmark a few days ago at the range. A guy about my age (mid-30's) had a well-loved, 16" A1, no-forward-assist upper. It was his boyhood rifle that he had recently obtained from his dad.

He evidently had a lot of nostalgia towards it, FWIW. I left before he fired it so can't comment on that.

Before that, I had never heard of them.

Check gun broker for completed auctions if you're looking for recent pricing.

If it is an older one, it is probably a pre ban, A1 style non reinforced lower and would be worth some decent money on gunbroker for someone making a retro gun in a ban state.
