New Project Build

[33XRAY]

I want to build this rifle kit I got for 400$, customize it, and sell it on consignment at a gun shop in Dallas as a [ready for battle, right off the shelf AR-15] for around $1000 - $1200.

What I'll do is build it with an Anderson receiver for around 50$, camo it, battle sight it in, and add a sling. I feel like most gun owners are safe queens, and some might jump on the opportunity to purchased a build like this out of piece of mind to know they have an AR that is ready to go.

How much are you expecting to be able to sell it for? A $400 rifle is a $400 rifle in my experience. You won't find many, if any, people outside of a full blown panic willing to pay $1000 for a rifle built on an Anderson receiver.

A $400 camo'd, "battle-ready" Anderson home build? Better hope some real suckers shop there to pay $1200 for a POS.

I've have a good number of fraternity brothers with military expirence who explained that anderson receivers work pretty good. They're just not top notch big $$$.

dmd08 if you think you need to always spend a lot of money to have acceptable gear you're the real sucker. That's not always the case, I'm sure you know that.

I think the point of contention is building a gun with budget parts and hoping to sell it for a 100% markup. I could not even sell my $500 PSA kit built AR for $500

Also, this thread does not meet the intent of the Custom Build Forum by any stretch of the imagination.

There is another way you could go about it. I mean if your goal is to sell a pos rifle for a lot of money, I would honestly never do this. You could buy a stripped defender LMT lower for $160 then buy a build kit from PSA for $320. Now you have a fake LMT defender that only cost you $480 + tax, shipping, and transfer fee. Like I said, I wouldn't do that. For one reason I don't build junk rifles, and another reason is that I don't have a desire to rip people off. Knowledgeable people wouldn't buy it anyways.
