Not to rub it in.....but you could have got a complete Adams Arms piston for $599

Well, I kind of feel bad for this dude. But buying something then asking for confirmation that you made the right decision is pretty silly.
Thanks everyone for your input. My intention of the post wasn't to really validate my purchase, it was just a bass ackwards way of doing it. I should have asked first before I made the purchase. I screwed up as I am sure we have all done at some point and allowed my impulse to get the best of me.
I was under the assumption that the piston system was a positive evolution from the DI system as generally when technology evolves it is an improvement. Now in some cases that isn't always true (if it ain't broke don't fix it). However I was thinking that if other reputable manufacturers such as the HK 416 and LWRC sport gas pistons that possibly the design was truly superior over the DI design hence my decision to go the piston route over the DI model. None of the LGS that are within a 50 mile radius had the Colt 6920 in stock. None of them carry BCM and only one had DD. Most carried Olympic, DPMS, Bushmaster, M&P Sport, and other very basic models or custom builds buy themselves or a "guy they know". There were other models but they were over my budget.
Oh well. I have put word out to some guys I know that buy, sell, and trade guns all the time that its up for sale and I am certain they can move it. In the meantime, I am going to shoot the piss out of it and see how it does. Once it is sold, I will order another model.
Again, thanks for the input guys.

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed – where the government refuses to stand for re-election and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

Unless someone offers you just about what you paid for it, I'd hold off selling until you run a few hundred rounds through it. Be sure to give it a good clean and lube, and if it runs well, keep it.
If you sell for a big loss, say $400, and you go buy a Colt 6920 for $1000, that Colt really cost you $1400.
Since you have kids, at some point, you will take the kiddos to the range and may want a second AR, so as long as this one works fine, which it should or you have Core fix it, just keep it. I believe you will be fine.
I never really understood the mentality of buy first, find out information second.
At this point I’d say keep it and run it. If you tried to sell if you’re going to eat some $ so you’d might as well get some use out of it. Get something better later if it’s something you enjoy and are planning on putting tons of rounds through.
It is not.
The HK 416 is the BEST example of a piston in an AR. NO OTHER PISTON OPERATED AR COMES CLOSE TO THIS (and you did not buy a 416). With that said, the 416 has some issues and for most Civy's it is 100% over kill.However I was thinking that if other reputable manufacturers such as the HK 416 and LWRC sport gas pistons that possibly the design was truly superior over the DI design hence my decision to go the piston route over the DI model.
Order the gun online and have it shipped to your local dealer.None of the LGS that are within a 50 mile radius had the Colt 6920 in stock. None of them carry BCM and only one had DD. Most carried Olympic, DPMS, Bushmaster, M&P Sport, and other very basic models or custom builds buy themselves or a "guy they know". There were other models but they were over my budget.
Enjoy your gun.

I don't either. Not everyone is into research though. Males are impulse buyers for the most part and when they see something "shiny" they have to have it right then and there. Example A is the OP looking for a 6920 and then got shown something else and bought it.
Good lesson learned for newer gun buyers. Do your research and buy what you intended to buy.
