    My rep didn't tell us how many models are going down, but he did say all magpul edition will be the first ones.
    True. They are also reducing the number of model offered.

    Streamlining production then. Makes sense, and not a bad thing necessarily. Still need to add another Colt or three to my collection, hopefully will be able to add them, a Beretta or two, and maybe another Glock and H&K this year. Will have to see.

    Sheer count isn't the only statistic you look at. DPMO or defects per million opportunities. In other words, a percent defective, not just sheer number of defects. If that percentage or ratio trends up, then you are going in the wrong direction.

    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.
    During the Obama panic I & IIm and the Sandy Hook panic I spied 6920's fetch $3k.

    As for the OEM1, GT's list it at $669. Currently not in stock but you can get on a list. During the panics GT's never raised their prices though they did suspend sales for a spell to non-LEOs.

    We received our new Colt price sheet. Rifles came down over $100 dollars! Pretty cool.

    Colt is desperately doing anything they can to drive up revenue as they rapidly approach bankruptcy. Can't remember where I saw it but bond holders stand to take a 90% haircut when (not if) it happens.....
