If the Scar is on good condition it evens out in your favor.

101 views and no opinions?
Wait... the Scar is #1 or the DD? Does the serial number on an AR this new make any difference on the value? Asking because I really don't know the answer to this.
Didn't you just buy the DD at a gun show recently? :confused:

Yeah, dude, you've had it a grand total of 3 weeks.
SCAR is like $2300 so it's a pretty even trade. If it was me though, I'd take the extra grand and get an aimpoint H1 on larue mount, 12:00 light setup, bad lever, sling, and some ammo for the DDM4 and shoot the hell out of it.

Quit chasing the green fairy and slow down. Shoot the DD and give it time to prove its value to you. Don't be a "mall ninja" and chase the next big thing just because!

Ive got an eotech and a 12 o'clock TL1 streamlight on it.
Oh and I've been shooting the holy shit out of it. :sarcastic:I think I put 400 rounds down it last week.

I was just thinking of flipping it.

Well I would keep the DD, use the 1k for a class and ammo.

There is a Vickers Shooting Method approved instructor in Allen (I think). His name escapes me at the moment and I'm on my phone - but a search should turn him up.

400 rounds isn't "shooting the holy shit out of it".
I believe that the phrase "shooting the.........out of it" would be taken differently by different people who can afford more or less ammo.
You should step back and think, what will the SCAR do for you that the DD won't? If this is for training/plinking/etc, why convert to a SCAR when you hadnt even run the DD to its full potentail? If you want a SCAR because of its CDI factor, theres nothing wrong with that either. SCAR's can be had for like $1900.00 now but what does it do that the DD cant? The $1000 can be put towards training, ammo, a COLT 6920 so you can have another/or backup rifle. Which one fits your use better is what you need to ask yourself.

Yep I agree! Just needed the push.

I would just keep the DD and invest in an aimpoint and ammunition/training and start shooting it. IMO, although a SCAR is a great rifle, I can't see how it is worth $1000 more than the DD.
Yeah i think I will. Anyone know of a class coming to dfw soon?
Wayne Dobbs is the aforementioned VSM intstructor. He's with Tiger Valley. Pat Rogers should be in Brady, TX in March and Garland in October for carbine courses. Larry Vickers is offering a carbine course in College Station in February, but it might be full.

Keep the DD, invest the 1K on ammo, training and quality mags.

I think dieselgeek should be required to wear out that DD before he is allowed to buy something else. :D:D:p

I'm keeping the DD. I can build the SBR I want for $1000 using smartgunners site. I just HATE The wait.
Regarding the Vickers class in CStat, It's full, as is the handgun course.

+1, i would say that if you were gonna get abetter deal i would make the trade. But since its basically a fair trade i dont see any point in it. If you really want a scar like i do, i'd just save up. IMO
You bought that DD for not much more than you got for your Bushmaster.
Trade the damn thing. Who cares if it's a cool "DD" rifle? Who cares if he's shot the shit out of it? Who cares if he hasn't used it to it's full potential (in your opinion).
The SCAR is worth more and if you want it, grab it.
The OP wants to know if the trade is worth it value-wise, not what you'd rather have...

11-23-10, 20:34
Did u see the part where he has to put up an extra G for the trade? Value-wise its not really a deal. But yeah, if ya want it get it
Oh I totally missed that part.
I wouldn't do it unless it was for an ACR basic. :rolleyes:
No, I wouldn't give up my only AR.
Disregard everything else I said in the last post I made.

11-23-10, 20:41
lol, yeah.....its still an interesting trade option tho... I know i said earlier that i would just save up for the scar but the more a think about it i would probably be a little stuck like the OP

What do you mean by full potential? I agree the Scar is about 200% more expensive then it should be as far as value goes.

Are you waiting for the ATF to approve it? The sale may run out before you get that back. If all else fails, get a 16" upper and cut it down. It'll still be cheaper.
Good choice on keeping the DD. The bad thing about the scar is that parts are close to impossible to get. Whether you want to buy parts for back up or if your rifle actually breaks your pretty much sol. With an AR you can diagnose the problem and buy the part from one of 20 million sites online.....

so why would a guy with a scar want to go back to an ar, unless he realized he mad a mistake and should have kept his ar.
after all isnt the scar the holy grail of millitary weapons?
i dont think so but alot of people seem to thimk so.
