    Question Colt AR15A2 Delta Elite package - value now?

    I've got a AR15A2 Delta Elite package and need to know about what it's worth for insurance purposes.

    It's got the Tasco scope, ARMS carry handle mount, Colt cheekpiece, two 20 rnd magazines (pinned to 5 - dammit!!!), the original manuals, and I have the case it came in (which looks a little worse for wear).

    What's this combo package worth nowadays??(yes, I searched for a thread on this but didn't find one)

    Thanks for any info.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    One on Gunbroker now for $2500, no bids yet. Considering tax, DROS, etc, I would say go $3,000. THey are very scarce.

    PS, the 5 rounders can be made into 20s in about 2 minutes each. You drill the pop rivit in the base out, disassemble it and take the "U" shaped block out, then re-assemble minus rivit. I took four 5 rounders and modified them to Kalifornia legal 10s.

    Ah, if only I (legally) could. In Canadaicon, the max mag capacity for semi-auto centerfire rifles is 5 rounds, with the exception of the Garandicon.

    I didn't know Delta Elite packages were that scarce, thanks for the info!!

    Any more is greatly appreciated.

    Yes, they are very scarce and even more scarce in their original configuration. I would have no problem insuring that rifle for $3K easy, maybe even a few dollars more.

    Does yours have the original pistol grip with the red delta sign on it?
