6920 purchase advice please...**UPDATED**Unoffical NEWS See below!!

[DocMinster]

Hello all,

Thanks to Ebay I have some extra $$ and I have the opportunity to purchase another 6920 for 1250.00 today... The question I ask... is this something I should do as the election draws near and it looks like the Dems are going to be in control of the whole shebang.


We can all speculate on a Ban/Confiscation of guns, especially our assault types ...I am hoping for a grandfather clause.

It seems as though the 1250. is a decent price


What do you think?

[TRD]

Just do it!

[OldNavyGuy]

Just do it!

yes, i agree.., as this may possibly be your last chance.

between now and January 20, i recommend buying that gun you (all of us collectively) have had your eye on for several months, buy more ammo, buy more reloading components.

Buy It Now!

The 6920 is a very popular rifle and they are selling like hotcakes
all over the country.

If you want one, Get It Now, because the price will go up and the availability
will go down.

He Who Hesitates is Lost!

If you have the cake, go for it. That's a decent price from what I've seen. I paid 1300 for mine.

[Veracity]

Buy now.
Election's coming.

[Dave L.]

click [buy now] now.

It's going to get confiscated.

[RogerinTPA]

It's going to get confiscated.

Not if you plan your hide and cache sites well.;)


BUY NOW!

...from my cold dead fingers!

[dtibbals]

I just paid $1250 yesterday for one shipped to me no sales tax. I think that is a great price.

[DocMinster]

Thanks for the words of encouragement ....I picked up my now 2nd 6920 on the way home...AND

2 minutes after I purchased my new 6920 the owner of the store was on the phone with one of his major distributors for the New England area looking for an AR for another customer and ...... and he was informed that all the AR's that he could offer him today was 3ea S&W's. And didn't foresee anything coming in.

After a heated discussion between the storeowner and the distributor whether or not he was yanking his chain. The distributor exclaimed no I am NOT @#%*ing around.


the panic has begun

Good Luck
Doc

There's a question in there?

[stronghold]

hey doc, nice talking to you and thanks for the recommendation and info.

greetings to the board. i was the fella that the owner was calling his distributor for. nothing to be had, so i put the other colt 6920 they had coming in on hold. hoping to pick it up this weekend.

looking forward to wringing alot of info out of this board as this is my first ar. selling my arsenal sam7 to help cost wise and looking forward to the switch.

[texasyid]

You guys are too young to see panic buying. Before the AWB went into effect these things (paramilitary semi- auto's) were going for megabucks. I see a lot of 6920's on GB with zero bids. Do I think you should buy a nib 6920 for 1250? In a word yes.

[bankerrkt]

I bought a 6920 today for $1350 and was glad to find one. I would have been happy to pay full retail if I had needed to. I guess Obama has been good for the economy after all ..... gun sales that is. :D

[DocMinster]

There's a question in there?

Oh man Sorry :o...whats the difference..between the 2 markings

Again sorry

[ballsout]

geez... i see 6920's for $1199 all the time at the gun show. Mainly from Bachman's. He always shows up with 10 of them selling them for $1199. Guess i'm spoiled in houston.

Just received both a Colt 6920 and a Daniel Defense Mk19 RIS II rail on the same day (MUST BE A SIGN) I'm looking forward to this Saturday when I can put all my extras on the carbine.:D

i bought a 6920 this morning. dealer had one last night. I was about to buy it, then decided to make sure my pmags (7/07) would drop free. surprised to find they wouldn't! dealer got another one in this morning and they dropped free no problem out of that one, so it went home with me.
