Colt is starting to open its eyes. Colt is lowering their prices on the 6920 model rifles for dealers.
My rep didn't tell us how many models are going down, but he did say all magpul edition will be the first ones.

I'd like to see <$700 for OEM1/2, <$800 for 6920, <$1000 for 6920 SOCOM. If so, no other competitor will be able to compete, considering the quality/desirability of the components.
Back in 2008/2009, 6920s were hovering around $1350-1600.
The only reason Colt is lowering their prices is to compete in the civilian market, from which now the vast majority of their profits come.
Very happy to hear this. While my money has been going to Sionics lately, I'd still like another if 6920's if the prices are going to come down.
I hope this doesn't also signal a reduction in quality. Be careful what you wish for.
I just bought my daughter a 6920 muddy girl for $850.. I'm thrilled with it.. Haven't shot it yet, but fit and finish are very good. I'm still trying to figure out what the trigger is. It feels good, but it's certainly not a mil-spec.. It's a flat hammer like a Geissele..

Ain't no pockets on a shroud..
There is one absolute truth in the corporate world: profits never decrease.
Costs decrease, quality decreases, employees are let go, lead times are increased, and so on....but reduction in the retail price is not allowed to eat into profits.
I was all set to buy a Colt M4 to go with my BCM's later this year. Now I'm not so sure.
Not really sure Colt can have profits when they are deeply in debt and received a 70 million dollar lifeloan from Morgan Stanley.
