Botach has them for $886. Oh wait, that's only for law enforcement. For some reason they must cost more to manufacture for mere civilians. They might want to figure out what's causing that or else they could end up having financial troubles.

I bought a 6920 from Grant yesterday. $865~ delivered is just too good to pass up. I can decide later if I want to SBR it.
That price is good, a 6920 can be a great choice for a future SBR build.
Agreed.
But I'm still curious why there SBRs in general are more expensive than their longer counterparts (that require more materials and machining time to make)
That would be higher up in Colt. What do you think Colt sells M4's for? Less than what most think for a contract run. A non FA SBR may be more of a hassle than a large run of FA guns in a contract. The added foot work per weapon is higher.
OK, but to the tune of $200+? The only thing Colt is accomplishing by charging civilians more is giving their competition an edge. It's their company and they can do what they want, but how's that working out for them?
True, but the cost of the extra paperwork is the same for Colt, regardless of whether the rifle transfers from the retailer to a LE officer or a civilian.
