Yikes, no interest yet. From talking with Adam I thought there might be a lot of interest. Hoping someone is interested.

Just a few thoughts; Barrel specs, make and twist, length, contour, etc., Upper make and model? Price asking, not what paid. Post on Accuarateshooter.com. Good Luck with the sale.

Gunsmith's are usually overly optimistic when giving advice on resale potential on a prospective project, lol.

Pictures on the ad itself always help. As do pics of groups that the rifle has fired. Not a lot of interest in specialty AR uppers it seems, the average guy won't/can't handload for them, which is necessary to bring them to their full potential.

I have several wildcat uppers, but will hold on to them in light of the current environment, even though 223 uppers can be had for $350 new these days...I don't think that will last forever.

Reached out to Adam a couple days ago for the information. Hoping to get a response so I can post the information. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hang in there. Sales are so slow due to the ridiculous cheap prices of AR's and parts now. I had 2 beautiful cerakoted 204 Rugers with White Oak match barrels that were custom made and it took forever to sell them and then I had to take a beating on price. Same thing for a custom made AR 17hmr. Good luck, sounds like really nice firearm and I know Adam does great work.
