Oct 21, 2011 This is a discussion on Check the Serial Numbers within the ACR General Discussion forums. Bushmaster serial number date, bushmaster serial number. Trying to figure out what AR15 I have, its a Bushmaster MOD. XM15-E2S and its stamped CAL. MULTI It shoots 223/5.56 Ive read that all Bushmasters serial.

I don't know a lot about AR-15s, but what I do know is I want a Colt 6920! My question: my girlfriend has given me permission to see what we can get for her Bushmaster XM15-E2S. I have a Blue Book of Gun Values so I went ahead and looked it up. Low and behold it's apparently worth a lot. I believe it is the post-ban short carbine since she got it back in 2008 (sometime around then). But the problem is, I don't think I'd ever find anyone to buy a used Bushmaster for over $600 since they can get a new one for $800 or so, or even less. Essential Software For Filmmakers.

Can someone tell me if this AR is worth holding onto or should we just sell it for whatever we can get someone to take for it? I'd rather pay $700 for a Colt 6920 with an Aimpoint Pro than $1400 and have two AR-15s. Here is the listing of value from the book.

You may spend a lot of money fixing things that weren't broken to begin with. Shoot at least 500 rounds through it first, then decide what you don't like and want to improve. Regarding vintage 1911s, pre-1970 pistols are highly collectible in original, unaltered condition and should NEVER be refinished or modified as it completely ruins their monetary value. If you're not in a financial pinch hold onto it. I sold a Bushy a couple of years ago and barely got $700 for it.

You'd do better to wait, and then when the next 'they're going to take our guns away' panic sets in you can actually sell it for a decent amount. That's my current plan also, I've the same model Bushmaster and plan on getting a Colt 6920 1st chance money permits (I hate X-Mas time, plus I needed a new laptop ).I'll keep the Bushy till I see which way things got 2012 and worst case sell it next rush on them.

So is this XM15-E2S better than the run of the mill Bushy's? I just really want that Colt BAAAAAAAD. Hp-eva Keygen Mercedes here. I believe most Bushmasters are marked XM15-E2S. If I recall correctly both the 20' HBAR I had 15 years ago and the newer M4 look-alike I sold a couple of years ago were marked that way.

The 20' HBAR was a phenominally accurate rifle, and I wish I'd kept it. The M4gery was actually sold unfired, which was a painful financial loss to me since I paid about $1100 for it only a year or two earlier. I bought it during the time of the presidential election, when AR's were selling like hotcakes.

Then when I decided it had to go I couldn't even get the dealer I bought it from to take it back on consignment! He told me it would just sit there, because the market was by then awash in AR's and nobody would want a Bushy unles it was dirt cheap. I ended up selling it myself online, but like I said I took a soaking on the price. At the moment, if you want to buy an AR now is the time. But if you're selling one it's better to hold off. Save up for the Colt 6920 if you can, and make plans to get rid of the Bushmaster after the end of next year.

I have a strong feeling we're going to have four more years of Obama, and if the Republicans lose their grip on Congress as well it's going to be another banner year for AR sales in 2013. __________________ Avoid the temptation to replace everything on your brand-new 1911 just to make it 'better'.

What would be the easiest way for me to identify my girlfriend's AR? Measure barrel length, look at flash suppressor, etc? If it helps, she bought it at Academy new for about $1,000 - this was back around 2008 so it would make sense why it cost so much. It really is true to say that Democratic Presidents can sometimes be the best salesperson for a firearms company, eh? Kind of ironic. I've thought about the gunbroker route but how do you do the shipping to other states and all that if you're an individual without an FFL?
