Presuming you already have a Colt 16" barrel, and you want to change to a 14.5 Colt barrel, then the SAW 14.5" somewhat makes sense.
A Colt 14.5" barrel runs around $250-275, plus a muzzle device, plus a pin and weld puts you into the $300+ range easily.
$295 for Ken's package isn't a bad deal from that perspective.

I see Displaced Texan's point and it is somewhat valid. In this day of AR-glut the discriminating buyer isn't going to pony up retail for a 16" takeoff barrel. I know I wouldn't. However, a few months down the road from now is anyone's guess (unfortunately).
In all seriousness, what would YOU as a private individual (not for your business but for your own collection) pay for a new 6920 takeoff barrel? My guess is you'd be hard-pressed to get $150 for it, maybe $175 tops. Sure, you might snag one of the suckers but any of us in-the-know isn't going to shell out $200+ for it today.

I'd just have ADCO cut it to 14.7" and pin the stock A2.
I've seen them in person and the SAW job looks goofy as all get out with no crush washer.
