COLT 6920 worth it.

Mine has the "restricted" markings and was $1099 with free shipping from Ratworx. I was totally ok with that purchase.

Looks like they have an ample supply at this time. The ones with the resticted markings are not produced any more, so they are going to demand a higher price.

$1099. is a very good price for one of those.

I've been bragging all over about my new LWRC. IM VERY HAPPY ABOUT MY PURCHASE, I KNOW ITS PRICEY BUT I THINK A COLT CANT TOUCH IT QUALITY WISE. I say if you gonna spend $1000 just spend $2000 and be very happy...lol

It's only worth it if you want the name.
There are better options for less cost.

This +1000 Paying for the name is not a good use of money IMHO.

Rock River has become my favorite AR. Great prices and I have not been able to break one yet and I'm really trying

I don't think the price difference between Colt and any other quality company making AR platforms is high enough to justify saying "you are only paying for the name". You get a company that has stood the test of time and stands behind their product. And when I am at the LGS holding a Colt, RRA and S&W, there is a difference in the "feel" of the gun. And from what I have seen, the difference is somewhere around 100 to 200 dollars. Are the Colts worth that? Maybe. But with a Colt, I know what I'm getting and that the company will stand behind it. As will the others I'm sure.

Its a product of notoriously good quality. You're paying them to get it right the first time as much as you are the name. I'd at least consider one if I were ever to be in the market for one.

The Out Of Stock, does not count, because when they do get them in stock, from what I have seen in the past the price goes up

Dunno why you chose to ignore what I just said and I'm not really concerned as to what you think "counts" or doesn't. As I said one can find a ~ $1K Colt quite easily if they are somewhat patient..... they come in waves and go quickly.

I believe G and R sold their last batch at $950ish.

I've yet to see a $1000 Colt at a local gunshow. Just about any dealer at the gunshows will be gouging on AR stuff from here on out.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I realize I am paying slightly more for the colt name but is sort of iconic to me. I grew up shooting colts and my dad always seemed to make money selling them after 8-10 years. They never seemed to lose value.

The best price I have seen is between 1100-1250. I'm planning on purchasing in october when I get home but if none are available, I will wait to see if they go down after the elections. I guess that might depend on who gets elected though.
