A2 upper value?

[BryanP]

Okay, this isn't a "feeler" before putting something up for sale here, I just need to get some info and I'm not having much luck digging for it online.

I finally got the upper I ordered from Model1 last July(!), and a friend of mine is interested in my old upper. Problem is I have absolutely no idea what its value might be.

When I built my AR back around 2002, I bought an upper off of the equipment exchange on arfcom. 20", A2, HBAR. This was during the ban, so no flash suppressor and no bayonet lug. The barrel itself is a chrome lined Bushmaster, 1:9 twist. I'm not sure about the origin of the rest of the parts. It's always functioned well.

So, if you were going to sell a 20" A2 HBAR upper, 1:9 twist, chrome lined, no brand name, no bolt, bolt carrier or charging handle, to a friend, how much would you ask?

Based upon the condition you say, "friend" "stripped", $450.00 would be the most I would ask. If it were a gun show, I'd be asking $550. And there is no such thing as "no brand name" in the AR parts world. There are only about 4 forges making uppers, a dozen barrel makers. It could be worth $1,100 or $200 depending. It being a "Bushmaster" makes it either a Kreiger or Baker barrel. The upper would be Key marked, my bet (look for a keyhole on the right side below the rear site).
