Okay, I'm looking primarily for feedback here but if a good deal pops over this thread, I'll take it. But what I want to know is can I expect an even steven trade for my Olympic Arms K23P AR-15 pistol at a gun show (one will be in my neck of the woods in three weeks or so) for one of the following guns: XD 45 compact; Taurus M4510 with the bobbed hammer and short grip (dubbed the Public Defender); or a Kel Tec PLR16.
Some may argue the OLY is far superior to the Kel Tec I want, but I originally bought the OLY as an investment against that day when the AWB raised it's ugly head. While that still is a possibility, my needs have changed a bit and I really want something else. The Oly was a spur of the moment purchase, and while I bought it new, there was no box to go along with it. I paid about $800 OTD and it retails for $975 so I figured I got a decent deal. I have to think that a dealer is still going to pay more for the OLY than he will for any of the ones I want, even wholesale. Therefore, I think a straight up trade will be a good deal for all parties. I'm not interested in cash. I just want the hardware.
