    You did well, young Jedi. You are so far ahead of those other folks, it's scary. Just the fact that you absorbed the stickies proves this.

    My first AR was a 6920, and that was proven to be a really wise decision. And welcome to M4C!

    I don't even bat an eye at the idea of spending $1000-$1400 on a rifle. (I've got other 'not so cheap' hobbies, too.) But for some reason, I'm having trouble justifying $1000 or more on a single optic.

    I'll still get one, I am just having trouble justifying it.

    And on top of that, most guys building these "clones" build them for the hell of it, hardly ever shoot them, and have a $2500 gun sitting in the closet that serves no purpose.

    I'm not against building clones, as long as whats on it works for you, but to build them with a knock-off AR yet actually pay the pretty pennies for the real gadgets is just rediculous.

    Hey I loved my pre-board-reading DPMS. I even paid $950 for it!










    Until I found out what it was and bought a KAC.

    If you feel obligated to be armed for cheap then go for a Mosin. They're not so bad...

    However, if you wanna go for an AR with all it's accuracy, durability, weight, and all... it's okay to save the extra 200 or even 400 dollars since it's worth is just that.

    Good guns are more enjoyable at the range- and your neighbors can depend on you and your system to work right in a bad situation --God forbid.

    Thanks.

I can say today after getting back from my local Sportsmans Warehouse, these comments need to be put to bed. They just placed on sale today a Colt 6920 with a complete Magpul furniture outfit including butt stock for $1099. A Bushmaster carbine next to it was $100 cheaper.

    I thought to myself there is no reason for "I dont want to spend the extra money".

    Crazy.
    No kidding, why the hell wouldnt you go for the colt? that is a really good price on the magpul 6920, do you know if thats the price at all sportsmans? If so then im going to make a stop and pick up a new colt tomorrow.

    Grant sells the Colt 6920 for $930.

    And I am more than willing to bet he will work with you if you want to swap a stock or pistol grip.

    For the price of a half-dozen mags, and the ammo to fill them, you can get a solid carbine. Sweet Mother of Pearl, why wouldn't you do that?

    Well if you want to do an apples to apples comparison hes selling the same model for $1060.

    http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin...ion&key=6920MP

    So do I want to pay shipping and transfer fee or do I want to pay sales tax...? May have to think about this. Ill still go check one out tomorrow though.
