Cheap experienced AR15s

[hntrroy]

Just saw a this posted on facebook. Might be a good opportunity for someone debating weather to get an AR or not to get into one cheaply. DPMS AR-15 A/3 Carbine - Used Condition

I wouldnt buy one I couldnt inspect first. I believe these are surplus from Iraq.

Does seem like a decent price for a starter base... Kinda like buying a clunker Mustang to restore it.

Only been told bad things about dpms. I'm sure they have had their problems, but who,hasn't.

You can build a new one for a few $$$ more. Those may be well worn.

I have two DPMS complete lowers no problem. They look and shoot just fine I have a colt A2 upper on one and it reminds me of the M 16 I had in Viet Nam

Be sure to read the list of things that might be wrong with them.

Nothing wrong with buying a clunker and restoring it. Just takes some time, money, and patience.

True, but when you can buy a brand new S&W or PSA for $600, it doesn't sound like a very wise investment.

Nice Mopar, by the way

From the pictures, they look more abused than used.
I have a DPMS in 5.56 and I also occasionally put a .450 Bushmaster and .22 upper on the lower. I have had zero issues out of it. Does everything it was designed to do at a reasonable price.

Wonder if they came from ISIS who got them from us...either way there's better deals you can get. A brand new S&W M&P15 is $729 at the Gander Mountain. It might be better to wait and shell out a couple hundred more than get something you'd be looking to replace in the near future.

Experienced??



Is that the new "pre owned" which replaced the actual "used"?

 

[fatvette]

Or get one at almost any LGS for $100 less!!!

I suppose they're really of interest to a military collector, but as other have said an AR platform can be obtained cheaper (and with less wear)

I must remember that one
