    Thanks, but I was asking about a Thread started by Grant a few weeks ago about things to buy now before the next ban. Tried a search, but no luck.

    I found a rather spirited Thread started by Larry Vickers on stocking up on aluminum magazines. Not sure if this is the one referred to.

    No but you could sell crap to the goobers who are telling you that 380 is the most powerful hand gun round in the world and he seen proof of it on written on a shit house wall, and besides his uncle father shot his little pinkie off with a 16" middy on his PPk. I don't get out much. Vern

    Pretty sure it was LPK's and BCG's.

    The LAV thread is the one we're talking about I think.

    In summary, now is the time to stock up on "stuff." Parts, mags, ammo, it's all at or near pre-panic levels and now is the time to buy and not get caught flat footed during the next scare.
    Experience is a cruel teacher, gives the exam first and then the lesson.

    To continue this theme, Grant started a thread a few weeks ago about stocking up on potential gun related "ban" items while prices were back down to earth. The 6920 might be the quintessential "ban" item from an investment perspective. At $900ish they provide one hell of a roi
    If profiting off the next "consumer demand increase" is the goal then I would think that purchasing 20 or 30 complete blemished lowers for about $160 each from P.S.A would provide a superior ROI. During the height of the last consumer panic a blemished complete lower was fetching up an easy $650 and up. You could easily quadruple your investment instead of merely doubling it. As far as complete rifles go S&W and SIG AR's were providing the best ROI as I recall.

    After-all, the main force behind the surge of panic driven consumer demand was made of first time buyers.

    Nice review!

    I am so, so, SOOO glad I read up (on here...mostly) and saved my pennies and bought the Colt 6920. The thing just flat out runs and other than the Aimpoint Pro and Blue Force Gear sling...mine is bone stock.

    A bargain for what you get. I might buy a second this year...just to have a back up.

    This is the exact setup I am giving to my son on Wednesday.

    As for the thread on stocking up now, thanks all. Been quietly doing this, and will continue throughout the year.

    The current pricing on the Colt 6920 is making me think about picking up a few spare carbines also...

    Hell...Wal Mart near my home has several 6920s at around 1040 a pop.

    Hard to not buy an extra....that old "two is one" mantra, you know.

    Yes...my 6920 with the Aimpoint works just fine for me. I love the set up and really don't want anything else on my gun but that and a sling. Odd..I know...but I really like keeping it simple and rugged.

    I have beaten the snot out of the Aimpoint Pro - it has sat out in the rain and ridden through the mud and sand on the ATV for days and I have not had to adjust the zero since I mounted the thing. Gotta love Swedish engineering!

    The great thing about the Colt 6920 is that it is not tons more expensive than the cheapo lower ARs. A couple of hundred dollars separate them. Unlike 1911s where a Springfield or Colt is 800-1000 and the really good ones (Wilson, Nighthawk etc.) are 3 grand or more.

    There is no excuse to buy the crappier ARs....period.

    I almost can't believe how low DSG's price is on the base model 6920 - $899 as of today (17 Mar):

    I'm kicking myself that I can't afford it at the moment. May have to sell some things off to raise the money...

    I appreciate Grant's efforts to carry only the best quality products to serve LE and military. Unfortunately, a lot of people in the military don't know much about the civilian market and, leading busy lives, aren't willing to take the time to do a lot of research. As already mentioned, they go to a shop and buy a name they've heard of (almost none of them have heard of BCM, DD, LMT, Noveske, or KAC) or they pick whatever the dealer recommends. I had several conversations over the last month with an Army buddy who wants an "affordable" AR with a "heavy barrel" and keeps showing me DMPS, Bushmaster, and other online prices. I told him several times to just walk into Walmart and buy a 6920, but it still just sounds too expensive to him. I most recently sent him the links to this 6920 review and this forum, and I'm going to leave it at that, since it doesn't look like I'm getting anywhere.
