    if your wanting a value on just a barrel with hand guards, its not worth much unless it is an original colt barrel. you can get a new ar15 barrel for less than a hundred bucks and the hand guards can be had fairly cheep as well, so me, myself, and I would not pay more than a hundred dollars for it unless I was desperate.
    if you are ever being chased by a taxidermist, don't play dead

    Sounds like an early A1 barrel. Are the handguards triangular or round?

    Some of them original colt barrels are desirable to guys making up retro type rifles . I've seen some real early 14 twist barrels sell for a nice amount
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

    It has CMP on the barrel and has triangular hand guards like the title of the post says!

    A CMP marked barrel shouldn't have a three prong. Any buyer will want pics of all the barrel, FSB markings. As for the hand guards. If the teeth are 100% $60 for the set. If it looks used $45 shipped. If it has a bad tooth $20. If the three prong isn't a repro $45.

    The barrel $65-150+ maybe.
