What price should I ask for my .300 BLK upper?

[grey2112]

I have decided due to economic reasons to sell one of my .300 BLK uppers. The barrel was chambered/reamed by TP555 to .300 BLK recently, has maybe 100 rounds through it. 16", 1:8 twist, has 1/2x36 threaded muzzle with a threaded muzzle protector (I had a suppressor threaded that way which is why I had it threaded this way). Pistol length gas tube, TP555 High, Low, and Off gas block, YHM Carbine length Diamond free float handguard with a cut to allow access to the adjustable gas block screw. Flatp top upper, with bolt carrier group. Has Badger Ord Tactical charging handle lever as well.

So, what should I expect to get for this upper? I honestly have no idea as to what price to ask.

Why the 1/2-36 threads?

isn't the standard 1/2-28 or 5/8-24?

new dealer prices are around this

barrel, 200 ish
handguard 90
upper 90
bcg 115
block 75
handle 45

Around $615 new "parts wise" and since its used and one would most likeley have to get it re threaded and cut back it would only serve someone who has a sbr. I would say probally $450 shipped would be max most would pay.

Yep, but there are better things out there now in .308 sub/super uppers and bolt guns so I am only using them now ;)

Anytime, rember someone may pay more, but you have to concider they will need that thread pitch "which works well with 9mm cans" get a adapter to 1/2x28 or 5/8x24 or have to cut it and re-thread which is $100+ depending on who they use and most willnot use a adapter including me unless like a p22 or what not.

Some 9mm/22lr cans have them however most donot but it was the "so called" standard back in the day, it is no more than finer threading. 1/2 is the "OD"of the threads and 36 is the tpi or the ammount of threads in a inch, so the higher the number the more/finer the theading. IMO it only works well with steel endcaps since the finer threading has a higher chance of cross threading on aluminum and such especially when the barrel is steel or stainless.

Originaly most of the poeple making 300 WTF uppers didn't want anyone threading a 5.56 flash hider or other 5.56 item on by mistake .. I know my
M1S 300 WTF has the 1/2-36 threads.

I have adapters that go from 1/2-36 to 5/8-24 for $25. They are parkerized, have wrench flats, and increase length by less than a quarter or an inch.

Not trying to sound like a salesman, just letting you know there is a solution available....
