Helluva Deal Today

[USMCsilver]

Went to the gun show today in Columbia, SC.

Found a LNIB Bushmaster 16" M4 flat-top upper with a stupid brake on it. Checked the price -- $285. I asked if the B/C/CH that it contained was included for that price. "Yup," he replied. Needless to say, I bought it.

I then took the B/C/CH, stuck them in my pocket, and then turned it around for a quick sale at $250. I know I could have taken it home and sold it for more on the boards, but, well, I wanted my cash back.

So, in the end, I came out of the deal with a LNIW Bushmaster B/C/CH for $35.

Don't see that every day!

Good move. Every once in a while you find such a deal at a gun show but its rare.

What's LNIB?

B/C/CH means Bolt, Carrier, Charging Handle, right?

How much are they normally worth?

[Rob1035]

~$100 I think?

What's LNIB?

Like New In Box

I would say they run between $100-$150 out and about

Personally, I think the guy that got the upper for $250 is the luckiest of all though

Yeah, for a LNIB Bushy B/C/CH, $150 is about right.

The upper was actually sold to a buddy of mine who had a table at the show. He turned it around and probably made money, but I didn't care. I was just psyched to get what I did for $35!!! ;c

It seems to me that this horse has been flogged before, but how much of an issue is it swapping bolts? Bolt carriers?
We used to pull the bolts from our M-16s for parade duty and such, with the concern that someone would steal a rifle. The bolts/carriers were dutifully tagged in the arms room, but they weren't numbered to the gun from the factory. I believe most of ours were Colts.
Marine, I think you made out oooohkay on the deal!
So waddya think? I'll have a shrouded B/BC soon. Okay to swap?
Thanks,

New for $130 from bushy - plus shipping. Can't believe shipping would be THAT bad.

Still a deal.
