Good price for post ban Colt Lightweight Sporter
I have a Lightweight Colt Sporter bought during the stupid ban era (no flash suppressor etc). It has a fixed carry handle. I don't shoot this rifle much and want to maybe sell or trade at a gun show tomorrow. It also has a Trijicon ACOG 2x20 mounted on he carry handle. What would be a reasonable price to ask?

What did you pay for it$ If you trade it w/a dealer I'd say you'd expect to get 15-25% less than what you paid.
Might be better off to sell to a individual. Just my opinion.

Bought it back in 2000. Paid $1068 back then. I'm just not sure if it is as desirable now because of the ban limitations.

Replace the barrel and you may sell it faster or decide to keep it.

What do you want or need to get for it?
If you go through a dealer at a gun show they are going to low ball the pi$$ out of you. At least that's been my experience. You could always put it on Armslist or somewhere like that.

W/the Acog?
If so I'd say that's possible.

Yep. Sold it for $750 to a guy in line before I even got into the show 
Picked up an EOTech Magnifier to go on my Rock River AR with the proceeds.
