    6920 question sort of

    I have a question about Colt 6920's, which I'm not sure fits here..but here goes..

    I already have 2 but am thinking of adding a third..I'm not really looking to drop another $1600 or so without selling something else or trading..so I'm considering selling an Arsenal milled M7R which is NIB unfired and picking up another 6920..I know this is a AR15 board, but does anyone have any thoughts on where the 6920 market is headed vs. milled AK's..

    BTW... I already have 2 other M7A1R's mileld Arsenal's so either way I'm covered..

    Any thoughts?

    Why would you need a 3rd 6920?

    I don't even have one.

    The AK market is probably only going to get stronger (higher prices) as well.

    I'd just build an AR for a lot less than the price that the factory Colts are commanding.

    Just my opinion!

    It isn't a question of "need" sometime...just want..

    I enjoy the Colt rifles and they certainly are going up in value..my question is mainly is about future value and appreciation..Just trying to get an idea as I know in my case I enjoy both types of rifles

    Where is the market going on 6920's...any guesses..

    It's anyone's guess. If a ban comes, they'll go thru the roof. It'll also depend on production. Strong demand seems to be obvious.

    Check the AK prices. Those are soaring too. Keep the AK and save for the Colt. The day may come when you can get your hands on 7.62 but not .223. Good to have rifles in different chamberings.

    I have other milled Arsenal AK's so in thought giving up the M7R doesn't bother me...just trying to get a handle on if the general thought is the 6920's will calm down once this initial "wave" of people buying them runs out..or slows down

    I'm looking on GB and other sites and seeing the prices seem to be hanging around $1600-1700 for 6920's..yet the milled Arsenal stuff is about the same..and is currently discontinued and "rarer"

    My opinion is that Arsenal, Inc. best days are behind them - they will never make guns as good as their original "no ban" SAM7 and SAM5 series ever again.

    I agree the "no ban" milled rifles..which this is one of them..were simply the best AK's of the current crop..IMO the only ones nicer or inline were the SA85M's Kassnar imported (I have U/F #100), the Yugo rifles, and some of the Poly's (Legends mainly)

    I know the 6920 is popular and all and I really like the AR's..but I'm wondering if their increased popularity will subside some as compared to the milled AK's

    Any ideas if Colt is releasing more 6920's

    Interesting... What's comparable nowadays?

    I'm not sure if anything is comparable to the milled Arsenals...they are really that nice and IMO much nicer than any of the stamped rifles..short of the ones I mentioned..

    IMO the milled rifles are sort of the 6920's of the AR world..which is why I'm open to a possible trade..although I'm on the fence as I see 6920's on the market for less than $1600 for NIB rifles..granted they are selling..but comparable to M7A1R or M7..there are tons of 6920's out there.

    I'm wondering if the initial hype and surge is sort of plaining out...

    IMO the milled Arsenals have been steadly moving up vs..spiking..so I'm wondering what has longer term investment potential

    Here is a pic for those who asked..
