Author Topic: NC: WTS 16" barreled upper, 12" kemod W/ 5" underslung rail. $280 shipped (Read 6850 times)

Roper1911 · « **on:** December 24, 2015, 12:27:48 pm »

not too long ago I built my first AR15, 'Frankie' (Franken rifle). anyways- I like it well enough, but I wish I had a lighter profile barrel.
so I'm planning on rebuilding her upper. keeping only the bolt. so is anyone here interested in a relatively cheap upper?
she has light damage to the front rail from a bad front sight, some finish removed from the receiver from the same sight set. comes with an accessory rail I installed for a VFG, as well as a laced handguard (currently green and black. I'm willing to relace it any color paracord comes in free. just let me know what colors.)

it's $280 shipped, or $260 pickup.

I've shot around 800 rounds through it.

DOES NOT COME WITH OPTICS OR BUIS.

I am not in the market, but a list of component mfgs should help it to sell. What barrel profile is it? HBAR?

Roper1911 · « **Reply #2 on:** December 24, 2015, 12:57:33 pm »

It's an HBAR profile barrel. I bought it as barreled upper from Dayton Tactical for $350 ish.
It shoots well, but it's not what I wanted, and the money from this sale will go to pay off most of a much lighter upper that I actually like.
I should also add that it has M4 feed ramps.

Where at in NC are you?

Roper1911 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 16, 2016, 10:32:12 am »

Raleigh area.

That's not very far.
When are you coming down to visit Point Blank Range?

That depends. It's about a three and a half hour drive from my house. When's your next shotgun course?

He still teaches courses?

Roper1911 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 16, 2016, 06:08:15 pm »

I didn't know he ever stopped

GeorgeHill · « **Reply #11 on:** February 17, 2016, 12:43:37 am »

I'm not teaching the Defensive Shotgun 1.0 course, but I probably will the 2.0.
And I'll be one of the guys teaching the Defensive Handgun Core Foundation series, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 courses.

Roper1911 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 17, 2016, 06:52:40 am »

Okay. I probably won't take multiple courses right now
It's a little bit to much of a drive for me. But I'll look into that.

Roper1911 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 17, 2016, 12:51:08 pm »

Alright- to get this thread somewhat back on track-

If anyone is interested, its 220 for pickup/meetup,
240 shipped anywhere in the contiguous united states.

Honestly though- this has been up a while, make a reasonable offer +$20 if you need it shipped. I'm flexible with the price.

The price is more than fair, even considering that a BCG is not included. More than fair. The wall you are running into, is that everyone got their uppers after 2013, and it is still a buyers' market.

I am going to pass, but you are making it hard. Was this a 20" upper, I would have gone for it already.

If it was a 18" or 20" it would have for sure moved already.

I 'm tempted, but don't have the cash. Looking for anything in trade?

Depends...
I'm in the market for a plate carrier and plates. As well as surplus firearms of any type except a mosin nagant. (One is enough.) Very specifically I'm looking for a RFI 2A1 Lee Enfield, But those things are worth a bit more then a barrelled upper...

I was hoping to sell this so I could use the cash to off set the expense of getting a new one put together. I might just have to suck it up and deal with having two uppers.

If it was pistol length, I'd have snagged it.

I'll take it if you'll do $200 shipped?

Maybe. I have a trade offer in my inbox. But if it falls through, and no one beats your offer, then I think I could do that.

No worries.

It's one of those things I really DON'T need....or super-want....it'd just be another extra AR

Roper1911 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 17, 2016, 07:50:03 pm »

Aye. Its perfect for a super cheap AR, I think PSA has blemished BCGs for 75ish. With the scuffs it's a great candidate for a rattle can job.
