Hello Ladies and Gents,

I am trying to sell an Olympic Arms 16" A4 K3B in .223/5.56 that has had about 500 rds down the pipe. it has a 6 position collapsible stock and a 5.5 inch flash hider. It is a flattop with carry handle. It retails (MSRP) 950-1150.00. Can any one without being rude give me a proper selling price. I currently have it listed for 850.00 Shipped to FFL.  thanks all.

Just so we're sure this is not a WANT TO SELL ad in the technical forums, right?

700.00 probably...without seeing it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he is trying to sell it here but is asking if his price is too high. Is it 11.5 barrel with a 5.5 inch pinned flash suppressor or a 16 inch barrel with a 5.5 inch non-pinned suppressor? Either way, I think you can get them new for $750-$800....but you would have to drop the price a lot more if it is a 11.5 pinned.

Maybe $550-600. You can buy better quality rifles new for $850.

A used Oly....$500.

It's MSRP is extremely over priced.  You'd be lucky to get $500 for that.

Yeah I was thinking $525 or so

Another one for $500 here.  If you can list it in a local paper, maybe 600-650; an uneducated buyer may appreciate it.  Anyone who knows what to look for is going to steer clear of it.

ETA - please do not mistake honest for rude with this type of question.  Had you listed a reputable manufacturer, the replies would sound more "positive."  Oly is not known for its quality.

$500 at the most.  You can get new Olys at gun shows for $650-699.  With all the affordable well made guns from Palmetto State and BCM you can build your own gun for under $700 and it is very well made.

This. $600 only if you're lucky and/or the buyer is uneducated.

You can buy a brand new carbine made by a company with a better reputation than Olympic for that price.

5.5" flash hiders are silly, ugly gimmicks.

$500 FTF, or $450 if I have to deal with the FFL hassle.

Walk it around a gun show and you will get $625.00 or higher. EE $500.00 or less.

Personally, I wouldn't even pay $500 for it.  You can get a PSA for $600 or so right now.  I bet there is someone out there who will pay $500 for a used Oly, just not anyone who knows anything about ARs.  Just my opinion.  Best of luck selling it though.

I agree with those above. About $500 or so. Maybe more depending on how much (or how little) the buyer knows about ARs. With the deals at PSA and others around online it would be hard to get more than that. Hell, I bought a S&W MP15 for $599 and that was brand new.

I would also say about $500. I've sold a clean Bushmaster M4 last year for $650. Rifle sat around for a month before I got that offer.

Got the original paperwork/box, etc..?   Lots of folks who bad mouth Oly have never owned one..  They have had problems, but, they stay in business.  IMHO, you are about 200-250 to high.
