Okay guys. So I was talking to a friend of mine about rifles. I was telling him about the CMMG sale going on. He tells me his father is selling several of his guns. So he calls me tonight and says his father has a Colt Sporter that fires a 223 rnd, flash hider, and 1 in 7 twist 9 (stainless barrel). He also says it has a low serial #. It was supposedly is one of the first 2K built. I was wondering what a good price for it be for me to buy it at? He said he paid around $800 I'm guessing it is a Sporter II and not the Sporter.

Also I don't know much about ARs. Could you guys point me in the right direction toward some good sites for infos to help expand my knowledge. Also how can I tell if it really is the 2000th one off the line?

Thanks

Not sure, but if it's not chambered for 5.56 I wouldn't want it.

Call Colt with the serial number

if its the same looking at the barrel it is chambered in 5.56

so if it's one of the first 2k made does it increase it's value?

the value can only be determined by what a buyer is willing to pay for something. a low serial number in a limited production run could possibly increase the value but them again normally limited production items rarely if ever get used and are for collecting.

IMO a low serial number of a mass produced item is no more valuable than a high number possibly even less so as they are going to be more prone problems as the bugs may not have been worked out.
