have a quick question for you guys, what would you think the value on a 15' bcm kmr rail would be worth used, this isnt the alpha rail but the original, thinking about replacing it with a vseven rail

Depends on condition as well. But for me I would post a used item in good condition at 20% less than its going price. Then wait a week and see if you got any bites, no bites I would drop it another 5% or so. Wash, rinse, repeat...

This is a good rule of thumb for used gear.

I have an original KMR, and to me, it's proven too soft for any kind of duty use. I'd say it's worth 30-40% off original MSRP to me. I'm sure higher to others.

Agreed. It also depends on how fast he wants to sell it to. Put a smoking good price on it and it will be gone quickly...

I find it interesting, if not surprising, that V Seven is also using a Magnesium alloy after the issues with the KMR. That said, given that the original KMRs are no longer available, I wouldn't be surprised if you could achieve a pretty good price from one of the many ounce counters out there.

I believe someone here had their rifle fall over and bent the crap out of it...
