Price/Reality Check for AR Setup
I built this gun about 5 or 6 years ago with what I considered at that time to be the ultimate HD/SHTF carbine. Components as follows:
LCW (Lauer) Lower Receiver
RRA 6 position M4 Stock
Mil-spec LPK
MIAD Grip
H buffer
Colt A2 Upper w/ M4 Ramps
Colt 14.5" Socom Barrel (light under hg's)
Perm AAC/Phantom FH
Colt Full-Auto BCG
PRI Gasbuster
Trijicon Sights
Surefire M500AB/Blue LED's
VTAC Sling
My thought at the time was that I could train myself to be fast/accurate enough with irons and with the simple nature and quality components used, the gun would be unlikely to fail.
Fast forward to this spring: I go and shoot a "tactial" carbine match and realize that an optic would be a huge benefit, as would a better trigger, lighter/longer forend, etc.
So I put this rifle up for sale on TOS and on consignment at work, and it's been a month with no bites. Am I priced too high? ($1000) Should I even sell this and re-configure, or do I just need to practice more with what I've got.
FWIW, the replacement I'm looking at is a KAC SR15 IWS. When I did the cost analysis, it is only $40 more to buy the KAC (with the cost offset from the sale of the above weapon) than to re-configure the above weapon the way I want it. Seems like a no-brainer.
What do you think?
