    I'm a handgun guy so I'm a little out of my zone with this AR. I've had AR's before and I usually know what they're worth, but this one was a build. Its complete and works, I just dont know what a good value on it would be.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Below are the specs.

    Double star lower
    rock river two stage trigger
    six position stock
    4x16x50 mm osprey illuminated scope
    rock river 20" hbar in a wylde chamber
    midwest 11" quad battle rail
    tac light with pressure pad
    tac 5mw green laser with pressure pad
    smith vortex flash supressor
    picantinny 13" bipod
    Hogue grip

    There are a lot of add-ons, but honestly they are all pretty low-dollar items that don't add a lot of value.

    I'd say $700-750.

    I didnt build this AR so I have no emotions, feelings, or opinions in it. Fire away :D
    Honestly, whats good whats not about it?
    The gun isnt in bad condition. I did clean it right away when I got it, but thats just me. I always take 110% care of my possessions.

    Good - AR15 double star, rock river good brands
    bad - frankengun, holds less value. Flash lights, attached laser and rail raiser likely a $40 used value total. I'd strip it down to gun only, sell the scope and junk on ebay, then buy those gen 1 mbus from the classifieds and put her up for $800. With all that stuff, $750. No reason you can't get $150 for the scope alone on ebay, Osprey's are cheaper, but not cheap.

    IMO only here. . . .

    The Good
    RRA upper and 2-stage trigger
    Flat-top upper
    MI rail
    Smith flash hider
    Hogue grip

    The Bad
    20" barrel
    Doublestar lower (odd shiny finish)
    Standard stock
    No BUIS

    The Ugly
    Riser (cheek weld and scope position look awful)
    Light/mount (cheap)
    Laser (cheap and unnecessary)
    Bipod (cheap)

    As goodcat suggested, selling the scope separately would be a better move.

    Again, that's just me.

    A bit off the subject, but how can it have a 20" barrel, with an 11" rail that covers the gas block? A 20" barrel normally takes a 12" handguard, but that would leave the gas block exposed...
