Ruger AC 556 question....

[ZX9RCAM]

Does the fact the gun has the LE tag on it & paperwork with it (showing years of use & when it was released on official Sheriffs letterhead) add value to the gun & if so, how much?

TIA,

I, personally, wouldn't pay more than the gun is worth, standalone price, for something like that. I own an AC 556 and it is just that, an AC, no more, no less.

I agree. Just because it has LE markings/history on it doesn’t necessarily mean its the best value AC out there. Remember these LE examples have seen their fair share of use by the department over the years.

+ 1 , only markings that I have seen give added value to nfa have been movie guns, like the ak's used in red dawn, something cool about the actual ak's with wolverines marked on it and notches LOL! Just get an ac and add a sage scar stock, best mod I have done to mine.

Well ... there would be some markings from LE groups that would increase it's value, sometimes significantly like say the Texas Rangers. Anything associated with the Texas Rangers tends to bring a higher premium, especially the original revolvers.

Thanks for the replies, I was just wondering so as to add to my "dickering" power.....
