A friend of my has an opportunity to buy a couple of guns and called me last night to see what I thought of the deal. The guns are a Ruger Super Blackhawk SS w/scope rings (no scope and don't know barrel length). The other gun is an AR-15 put together by a gunsmith from parts. Not sure of the make of any of the pieces he used. It has a collapsible stock and comes with 2 30 mags. Asking price is $1000 for both. What do you guys think?

The Ruger should be around $500 or so. Without knowing who made the AR, it's hard to tell. A grand for both sounds like a reasonable deal. I would advise your friend to find out more info on the AR. Will he let him shoot both prior to buying? Would he possibly allow him to take them to a gunsmith for an eval?

That's a so-so deal. Not the best. The AR is what is in question. There are a million parts that they can be made from and some are crap. He would have to get the builder to tell him what was put together to make a decision. I would pass on the AR since the market is saturated AND you can buy new ones at Wally World now. Heck, Colts are selling at Wally for $1000 LOL

I'd checkout the web site called armslist and see what they are going for in your area.

Thanks guys. The AR is what's in question in my mind too. I'll see if I can find out more about it..
