You have to deal with people that are incapable of picking out their own optics. What does that tell you?
Scottyran's post is pretty much spot on...I've been divesting myself of rifles,handguns, I no longer use and taking the money for things I will use. At one time I considered selling my Charles Daly AR and purchasing a Colt from Grant,..some of you may remember CD, at the time, they were decently built,the only dings against them on the chart were the BCG was'nt HPI'd MP'd and the barrel was'nt HPI'd, they also used straight pins on the FSB, and the barrel wasn't parked under the FSB they did use 1/7 twist and the proper grade 4150 steel, all in all a decent rifle. I had replaced the BCG with a LMT unit, so, that was addressed,kept the factory BCG as a spare, installed a Troy rail, rear sight, magpul triggerguard,and VHG Anyway, I went to a gunshow to sell some other C&R rifles and got a good look around..The AR's that were garnering the most Bubba attention were at the DPMS didplay...and at least 4 of the display rifles had huge scopes on them with bipods, tactical lights (UTG chinese junk) and UTG rails already installed..And, in his price range,(about $800 minus the scope, but that's ok, a couple isles over, they BSA scopes for sale) this is more imortant than anything,after all, why buy a DD omega rail, when the UTG rail is cheaper? This is what the average Bubba wants in a AR,He wants quality, but dosen't want to pay for it. He ain't got a clue, nor will he spend 15minutes on the internet to do a little research..I saw right then and there I could never sell my CD at a gunshow, as bubba would'nt know who they were, or how decent they really built, compared to the DPMS display models..In short, I could never get what it's worth. I've decided to keep it, sell off a few more rifles that gather dust and use the money to get a Aimpoint pro, and a few other things bring it up to speed as a HD/SD rifle.. At this gunshow, I didn't see one decent quality AR, No Colts,LMT's, DD, BCM, nothing but DPMS, Bushmaster's and the Bubba's were swarming all over them.. The addage about a fool and his money is so true...To the OP, try selling your rifle on the 'net, chances are you'll find a informed buyer, because, they certianly are not at gunshows...
There's a race of men who don't fit in, A race that can't stay still, So, they break the hearts of kith and kin, and roam the world at will..
