sell guns for AR15?

[mjblazor]

The AR15 is a new "want" to me....would i be a fool to sell/trade a marlin 30-30, S&W 63-5 .22 revolver, and a 870 pump shotgun to purchase a Colt LE 2960 Magpul or a fool not too?

Do any of the firearms you are thinking about selling have any sentimental value?

Do you have another shotgun & another handgun?

 

[mjblazor]

no and yes. thx.

I wouldn't, but I rarely sell any guns. They have to be absolute junk for me to get rid of them.

 

[mjblazor]

Thx. I was thinking that but am jonesing for a AR15.

I "dark hole" money, a little at a time, until I finally have enough to buy what's next on my list. It can be challenging sometimes and my patience can be tried and I don't have as big a collection as some guys, but it works for me.

That's exactly the reason why I sold my M&P for a Glock.

My Glock sits in the safe, unfired for the last 10+ years.

Because you can't handle perfection?

I would save up for an AR. I find it hard to sell guns though.

 

[Rookie]

You got me. The only gun I own that will reliably jam is my Glock.

 

[lovemachine]

lol

That's why I ditched the M&P.

To be fair, mine was bought in 1992. They've probably gotten better.

Getting back on topic, I have no problem selling or trading a gun or guns for something that will get more use.

I'd rather have 2 guns that I shoot well vs a bunch of guns I can't shoot at all.

This is my thinking. I do not like having things I do not use. I am actually trying to sell a rifle now so I can finishbmy AR build sooner.

I sold a Mini 14 to fund an Aimpoint and to take a rife class for my AR15.

Ar15s are great but IMO I wouldn't get rid of guns now. More guns the better.

I Disagree.

All you need is a carry pistol, and a battle rifle, and lots of ammo. And the skills to operate both, properly.

Once you can do that, THEN look into adding another gun.

Remember, beware of the man with 1 gun.
