Gun Pro deals had the 6920s in stock earlier today for $1199 but they sold out very fast. At least some vendors are not gouging too bad
I’m not sure $1200 is gouging at all. Had colt kept the price of their weapons at that point, instead of playing yo-yo, it wouldn’t get a second thought. Once colt started to drop into the 7-800 dollar realm, it starts getting tossed around in the same threads as PSA, and the idiocy never ends.

I can identify with this, as my company never competes on price: we compete on value. Our service is by far the best in the industry, so we charge accordingly.
The difficulty with Colt is that...at $1200 for a semi-auto, 1.5” extra long, M4 heat shield as handguards, carbine-gassed, gov’t profile carbine... They are well into the territory of other solid manufacturers that provide improvements at the same price point.
For a coarse analogy... You can’t charge a premium to ship a pallet, if your service is equivalent to other shippers (and good)...but your competitors offer online tracking and you don’t.
Pardon the aside. I love my CCU, and a complete CCU is probably worth $1200. Not so sure about a 6920. I have a feeling that Colt wasn’t selling at $1200 and was forced to drop their price to move product.

Brownells stripped LE6933 11.5" uppers in stock for $499.
I hope it's a good deal because I have no need for it but ordered one anyways!

Not nearly as low as they were going for a year or more ago, but understand these are desirable and hard to get.
