    Hey guys,

    I need some advice. I might want to sell my Colt Match Target in 223. It is the 20" heavy barrel. I bought it in 1998. I can't post pics at this time, unfortunately. It has about 4000 rounds through it. No lug, and no flash suppressor. The only thing not original is the firing pin. I have the original firing pin if needed. I did not put this in the sales ads because I just want advice at this point.

    It has the box, manual, cleaning kit, 2 eight round mags, and sling. There are a couple of light scratches on it, but the finish is pretty good.

    Does anyone have some good experience with this piece? Any input is welcome, regardless of hurting my poor wittle fewings.

    I was going to say $800 or so. You can a 6920 for around $1000 and its generally a much more desirable rifle.

    Thanks for the advice guys. I'm not selling it yet- I'm waiting to see how my car situation unfolds. (Long story)

    If I do sell it, I'l put it in the sales thread.

    You should be able to get about $750 to $800 out of it. Some on here will think with a round count of 4000, that that is a lot of use.

    I should probably just keep it.

    $1000 won't solve my car issue.

    Thanks to everyone for your input. INGO rules!

    Does it look like the one on my member page? Mine is a Colt HBAR, can't remember the barrel length but it is like wielding a long sword. Mine has the odd sized holes for the LPK pins.
