What did you pay for your ar15

[Ltdave]

$2000. for my first in 1994. Colt Match Heavy Barrel...

nothing over $700 for the next 3...

[Dan in NY]

Still have the receipt...$699.00 for a NIB Colt HBAR A2 in 1987.

$1000 less than my optic.

I'm learning that the rifle is just a platform to support the glass.

[Hip's Ax]

1999, Armalite M15A2 NM. $1250. Still have it, plan on shooting some across the course this year. I have been shooting too much prone MR and LR.

1977 I paid $241 for a new Colt SP1 AR-15. I had a friend wth an FFL and he charged me dealer price and did not make a penny. I still have the rifle.

[Prince Humperdink]

I just finished my build and I have about $950 into it.It would have been more,but I traded some M1 parts off too.

[Doug Douglass]

Just bought a Colt SP AR15 A2 preban for $1100, and sold an Eagle Arms EA15 M4 preban for $1300. I only want one black gun and the Colt is it. Just added a period Colt 3x20 scope to it, looks very military. There are a lot of crazy prices out there right now but I expect them to level off once folks understand the world is not coming to and end.

Bought a S&W M&P15 about two years ago. $850 shipped, including a rebate for 6 30 rd. Magpul magazines. Love to shoot it.

[DMS42]

Paid $295 in 1980 for a Colt SP1 and, except for a lower receiver, all the parts needed to build another. Then bought a Palmento lower for $100 and sold the completed rifle for $400. I still have the Colt, others have come and gone. There are two in the safe that I built up for High Power Rifle on Bushmaster lower receivers and Armilite heavy barrels with 1 in 8 twist.

[GUTS]

I built most of my ARs for between $500 and $600. That was from 2007 to 2011. This one cost quite a bit more to assemble.
Colt 601 clone. All 601 except the barrel(which is as hard to find as a decent SPG Garand stock)and of course lower receiver.
