I'm not a dealer and while I have purchased on a 50/50 deal I have never sold to a dealer in that way. IMO, the dealer is offering a service much like a broker. If a customer is OK with the 50/50 deal I see no harm done. Dealers seem to have better sources for that item someone "must have" vs an individual with fewer connections. I was going to end this with "my two cents" but due to inflation I'll go with "my three cents".

I think the auto marked commercial M16A2 commands a higher premium in the market.

I have a few also that are all Colt...Only have one M203 so don't need them all. All excellent to NOS condition.

Not to pile on but these responses were incredible and so helpful. I'm grateful for all of you who took so much time to capture and share your learnings. Thanks!

Thank you for this. Just ordered some ACC tools. Since they went out of business it has been hard to find certain things.

Wow, here is another one on GB from same seller of P.A.W.S 50k for lightly used M16A2 SSA…to be fair it included an M9 bayonet… 902523065

Great customer service is uncommon these days so I thought I would share this small experience of mine (and note that I have zero connection to this company). One of my weapon lights got a short in it then stopped working. It was an XC-1 so I called SureFire and explained my problem. They took my name, gave me an address to send it to and said they would repair it for free and ship it back. All I had to do was pay shipping. I shipped it, they fixed it and sent it back in about a week with a note telling me if it broke again to just contact them and they would fix it again. I bought that light in 2013 and have used it a lot since then and this is the first time it was repaired. Makes me think about buying more of their products (although I have a few other items from them).

I don't have any to sell but this might be helpful. I have no connection with this seller. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/899726734

Curious why date a weapon entered the registry has any impact on determination of C&R status? Don't guns "age" into C&R status and/or have a unique collectible attribute such as these x-models?

Yes, somehow the whole "love thy neighbor as thyself" concept got lost here with tragic consequences...

Well, it sold on GB so somebody wanted it.

I don’t have link but recall one just like this , NIB sold on GB for around 15k in last 12 months. A full stock NIB for similar amount. Market may be different now but M14/M1A not most popular platform of NFA weapons. Many are listed at $18-20 range but never sell. I don’t collect anything but USGI original M14’s but have monitored FA M1A prices for about 5-6 years now. List here at what you think is fair price and May sell. GB good option. Think would stay away from auction houses because premiums/fees will reduce your net below what you want.

$15k give or take.

The M14 Forum was infected by same earlier this year. Many left.

Why did they stop making them?
