Unfortunately, I agree. We know nothing about the rifle's quality or the life expectancy of the parts used to build it. The company has little to no reputation (perhaps it was a great company, and I'm sorry for the tragedy that ended it).
I'm still curious what you payed for it. And I second what Knewsom said, cut the $800 in half and I'll be first in line with serious interest. But when a brand new one from known companies can be had for under $200 more, there is steep competition. I obviously can not say what the true value of the gun is to others. You might just get $800 for it, and I hope you do. But for me, can't be comfortable with it.
By all means, not trying to insult you Reed. Just my two cents...
edit: maybe the fact that it's a low production rifle increases the value? I don't know enough about them to say. Good chance, I reckon.
I bought the rifle from a friend, who built it. He has too many ARs and too many other rifles, as well as too much money!! I bought it from him 1 year ago and he had only put about 300rnds through it, mostly reloaded rounds. Since I have owned it, I have put roughly 1100 rnds through it. It has been religiously cleaned after each outing.
I purchased the rifle for $1000. It came with 2 Pmags and 300rnds. I too, had trouble finding much info on the rifle itself or the company. I do know that they were low production, and manufactured here in NC.
To answer earlier questions, yes it has chrome lined barrel and bolt. From what I've been told it has a match grade Chip McCormick trigger.
As for price, I can't cut the price in half. I can understand that many many other ARs can be had for at or around 500. But to build this rifle, would end up being much over the top. I do not know what the retail on the lower was when bought, but I can get that information.
