Trying to figure out the best strategy to arrive at my goal. Open to suggestions.
Goal: end up with an Armalite tactical 308; a solid foundation AR15, and a Kimber micro CDP (LG).
308: I have an Armalite AR-10 A2 (B). Purchased it in the late 90s, but there are less than 500 rounds through it. I'd like to end up with an AR-10T (A). Ideally, I would find someone with the AR 10 T who wants to swap it for the AR 10 A2. Haven't found any real market for selling the complete upper for the A2, or for buying a complete series B AR-10T upper to put on my A2 lower. I will probably keep the PRS stock and put the original A2 start back on.
223: I have a Ruger series 184 factory folder in stainless. The rifle is in 95% or better condition. It seems as though its value is between 1000 and $1200. I'd love to be able to convert it into the Armalite 18" tactical carbine. The picture has my Romeo 5 red dot, which I will probably keep for the next gun.
.380 Kimber Diamond: I received the Diamond, but I'm not much for the refined finishes and scroll work. My preference would be for a micro CDP with the laser grip. However, there is probably a value difference between the two that I would like to roll into one of the other transactions above.
It is a tough, multivariable problem.
Suggestions are welcome, and desired.
