Colt LE6920 for $999.99

[snorko]

Impact has them on sale for a couple days. $999.99 with free shipping. It is not an AK but I am tempted anyway. Never owned a Colt AR.

Colt LE6920 AR15 M4 Carbine 16in Barrel 1 In 7 Twist 556 1 Magazine - Impact Guns

Nothin special about em. Just a standard middle class carbine. A S&W, DoubleStar, BCM, FN15, or PSA Premium line will do the same thing.

They're selling them for $1K because they're worth $1K...... Just like most all other AR-15 M-4 style carbines.

That's a good price. Herndon's in Bloomfield had 6920s marked for $960 last time I was in there. Better resale value as well. Remember how much Colt's were going for in Jan '13 Might be worth it to stock up on a few.

 

[SpaldingPM]

I remember when the LE6920 could be had for around $880. Was my first AR.

Personally, mid range AR wise, I'd go with the new FN15 for "nostalgia" value. FN is who the military contracts for their small arms, so if name brand matters when it comes to purchase, that's what I'd choose.

That is what I will be buying next time I get a 556 AR

Resale is a big thing... I've hit some cash crunches since I've built my 2 AR's, but I haven't even tried to sell them because they're mixmasters and I don't want to take a huge loss on them. Plus the fact that you don't really know the quality of some smaller manufacturer's parts, or if they'll be around in 10 years for warranty support, or this and that...

I guess I am not in touch with how cheap Colts apparently are. I can't remember seeing them below $1,000 even before Sandy Hook and regretted passing on a like new used one for $900.n

I do not believe the newer LE6920 have the demand as the older ones with the Restricted roll marks. But with that said it will hold its resale better then that of S&W, DoubleStar and PSA. I believe Walmarts sell the LE6920 for around 889.99 but you would have to find one first.

I dont know why you would spend 1k on that gun just because it says colt...

Agree. Now if it said Armalite.....

 

[mvician]

Agree. Now if it said Armalite.....

So what makes Armalite (re-branded Eagle Arms) better?

Lol. I was literally thinking the same thing. Colt bought out the original Armalite rights in the 60's if I'm thinking correct.

All new ArmaLite products are Eagle Arms products.... but honestly.... no one should care because 90% of all AR parts are made by the same casting company, they just get shipped out to the tons of other companies to be finished and branded.

When I look for a new ar build or even complete factory AR, I look at finish, finishing of machine marks, barrel type (of all aspects), and internal component compound (hardness). If its milspec, 1:7 twist with anything above a pencil barrel profile, CHF, and chrommoly or better, I'll buy the barrel, and if the BC and BCG is milspec in all aspects, I'll buy it and run it hard.

BINGO! We have a winner!!

I just edited my post that you quoted lol... I figured I'd get some argument with that 90% comment lol.

Perhaps. Some people like to argue with fact.

Who was the guy who said, "I reject your reality, and substitute my own"?

 

[SpaldingPM]

Statement and fact above is why I avoid buying into all that PTAC crap from PSA... For a few bux more, you can have a system that will last you a lifetime. I don't know who PSA contracts to make their PTAC line, but the standards when making the product lack. I am no AR purist in any sense, but I know quality when I see it (any milspec AR, which is inturn what I'd classify a mid level AR), and I know crap when I see it (PTAC) line. Why buy a Geo when you could have a camaro for $200 more lol.

We live in a world that "walmart" is building. The products we buy are getting cheaper because they are being made "cheaper." Why support quantity that lacks when you can save for one more week and have quality.
