Losing almost $1,000 on a gun would keep me up at night. Hopefully you learned something in the process. Thanks for the update . . .

Was the $475 for the rifle returned to stock, or with all of your modifications?

Have to remember it's like owning car you want to go fast, it's costs, you want modifications it cost, and when selling it, your not going to get what you put into it, you did for your pleasure, just like your rifle.
I hope you took all the goodies off, and sold it has you got it. No need in letting someone have what you put into it, you know he will sell it lot more then he paid for it, that's why he bought it in the first place looking for his profit.

Dogboy,

You did well since brand new MP15's are selling close to 500.
Hope you were able to get something you really wanted with the proceeds.

AR prices have dropped so low because of so many makers jumping in. With so many different versions, warranties, etc. the market is basically in a free fall. The demand for new AR's is very soft, and used ones even more so. Main point to remember is that once you've bought a brand new gun, you'll lose 1/3 of what you bought it for should you want to trade it in
in the future. Just how dealers make their money. The're not in business to give consumers the best price. If they don't make money on their transactions, they wont be in business long.

Congratulations. That's more than I would have guessed. You must be a very good negotiator.
