COLT 6920 worth it.

[10Seconds]

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

This. But then there will also always be people who will pay for that name.

Which wallyworlds in OK sells guns? I've been to three local to Moore, nothing there.

Yukon Walmart has a decent selection of shotguns and rifles. The one in Ponca City does as well.

The 6920 is definitely worth the cost. Not many off the shelf, mass produced AR's will match it at any price point.

What AR15 does almost everyone compar the others to? Colt
What AR15 that you purchase today, chances are that next year it will be worth what you paid for it or more? Colt
What AR15 is the most collectable? Colt
What AR15 is the most collectable and desired Colt? 6920

I hear this over and over again from customers that either have built or purchased an AR15 that was built by an Oklahoma manufacturer, and added things that they later did not want to it, look at the price of a Colt and Say I could have bought a Colt for far less than I put in this AR15.

Along the same lines of this discussion, people put all kinds of after market items on their weapons, and later take almost all of them off, finding they never needed them, they just looked cool.

I hope this helps,

Get a Colt only if it's ~1000. I'd also snatch one up soon....... as the dealers are going to start jacking up prices soon like they did last election year. Or you can wait until next spring when the hysteria dies down and everyone is overstocked.

I agree, except I have not seen any for sale for $1000, other than ones that are out of stock. Granted I have not seen the ones at Walmart yet, and they may be that price.

Yes, the 6920 is worth it.

10 years ago, I would have agreed that Colt is the standard to match. There was only 2 or 3 manufacturers that matched or exceeded Colt in specs and everyone else sold out-of-spec AR copies. This is not so true anymore and even bottom tier manufacturers are starting to get their act together in building rifles to specs. Most of the top tier brands have exceeded Colt in terms of quality and the fact that Colt has largely ignored and given the finger to the civilian market has made me rather cold to the brand. Heck, even Colt couldn't keep to "spec" when they produced civilian friendly versions of the rifle with oversized pins and a few I've seen with "semi-auto" BCG's. Add a 16" barrel with carbine length gas and you're just asking for a finicky rifle prone to failure.

Colt has become stagnant and have been out innovated. It's going to be interesting to see what Colt can do to be relevant again, but unless there a drastic change in talent/culture/mindset with the company, I just don't see them lasting unless they can dupe the gov into another long term exclusive contract. Which if the case, Colt will simply stop innovating again and give the finger to the civilian market again and watch everyone else surpass them.... again.

However, for a pure collector standpoint. If you can find an early Colt, especially pre-ban, then it may be worth the investment. Buying a new Colt would be 50/50 as an investment, in my opinion. If you just want a good rifle to shoot, there's better options for the money.

The guys at M4carbine.net have an opinion or two about quality ARs.

Price: $1050.00 OUT OF STOCK

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.

There was a vendor at the gun show this last weekend, that is not permitted to advertize here anymore, that was selling them between $1000. and $1100. But that was a gun show special, I can not speak his name here.

You are correct that the prices should drop a few months after December.
