Who's in?}(

I think I'll pass. Colt hasn't really kept up with the Joneses when it comes to AR's. Now if Rock River would offer something like this.....


Seriously, I wish Barclays would issue an ETN that covers firearms and ammunition companies. But I don't know if that would work well seeing how most of the companies are private. Too bad, it'd be a great way to spruce up the ol' IRA!

[Pierre.Suave]

1. Thats only $1900/rifle

Seriously, how much could you sell one of those for?

[jmg257]

2. Ahh- edited...never mind! These are ARs, but why the "auto" spot?

[TheWraith]

5. I don't think so, I think the $17k is for the 10-pack.

They're not full auto so you wouldn't be paying $17k.

[michreject]

27. The one in the OP is full auto

17k each sounds about right.

[TheWraith]

28. The photo is, but the description doesn't reflect that.

I'm pretty sure that they're using the wrong photo for the item.

[Pierre.Suave]

8. thats an assumption

I will however, make no assumptions about where you pulled it from.

According to the link, it is the price for the whole package of 10.

[jmg257]

9. Correct - & corrected - my mistake! n/t

[X_Digger]

10. Dunno, almost all receivers nowadays have it. n/t

[one-eyed fat man]

17. That is NOT an AR.........

Look right above the selector, you will see the pin that mounts the auto sear. Also, the hammer pin and trigger pin are standard size pins. Colt has used larger .169" diameter pins in semi-auto only ARs for better part of 30 years to preclude installing FA parts which use mil standard .156" diameter pins. Also the front take-down pin is the MILSPEC .250" diameter pin, not the .315 used by Colt on it's commercial semi-autos.

The picture is of an full auto M4. Only a government agency can buy those guns, if they are as pictured.

[X_Digger]

20. Good catch.. also notice the selector is on 'auto'.

I think the pic doesn't match the rifles for sale.

[one-eyed fat man]

22. My office, circa 1968...........

with just a tad over 26 years active duty, all of it in Combat Arms, I am pretty familiar with real military grade weapons.

I did a tour instructing in the Weapons Dept, USAARMS and taught familiarization training for most of the significant 20th century US, Allied, German, and Warsaw Pact military small arms. That was a fun assignment!

[benEzra]

23. Actually, it probably does.

Don't forget that police CAN buy new full auto M4's at reasonable prices, and the quoted price is probably consistent with the going law enforcement rate. They weren't affected by the 1986 closure of the NFA automatic weapons registry. Only non-LEO civilians have to pay $17,000+ for a single transferable pre-1986 collectible.

Looking at the photo, I suspect that may be a military/LEO restricted 14.5" barrel as well, but I'm not positive.

[X_Digger]

30. Might be in the pic..

.. but if you go to the site, they have a special area for class III / NFA items.

[X_Digger]

3. At the gun show this past weekend..

anywhere from $999-$2499 (low end to high end). A colt NIB? Prolly $1700-$2000. The colt name still has some cachet with certain folks.

[jmg257]

4. Never mind - these are the semis only.

Colt Model LE 6920 AR15 Sale
...
"Fire Control Selection: Safe-Semi "

[X_Digger]

6. Doesn't mention NFA

I used to have a 6920, they're not LE/full auto.

6921 is usually a 10.5" SBR that has has to have the tax stamp.

[jmg257]

7. Yeah - just saw that. Why the "auto" spot on the selector?

[ManiacJoe]

21. Probably a stock photo.

[benEzra]

24. Police M4's can be full auto, though.

Does Colt make a full auto, 14.5" version of the 6920 for law enforcement, or is that a different model number?

[X_Digger]

29. Trying to find the old flyers that came with my 6920

6920 - 16" semi
6921 - 10.5 SBR semi
6933 - 11.5 SBR full
6721 - 16.1" semi

'new'
6940 - 16" semi ("tactical" with monolithic upper)

and a couple of 9mm LE only full auto ones

11. Colt....

When you buy a Colt one, you pay a premium, just for the name "COLT" on the side. And like the OP said, they really have not been in the forefront of the AR 15 manufactures, for a long time.

But they do offer a good product, but IMHO, it is way over-priced, and in most cases, not as good as it's cheaper, and in some cases, MUCH CHEAPER, competitors.

To me, those M4's in that condition, are worth well under 1,000 each.

If you shop around, you can probably find an equivalent rifle, just without the name "Colt" for under $700

Colt depends on its long time reputation, when selling guns, like the "Colt Single Action Army", the 1911 in 45, and the AR15.

In 1911's to me, Colts are out of the question, I can get a a much nicer, better made one, for much less.

[X_Digger]

13. Yup, it's Chevrolet vs GM for the most part..

..except you pay a premium price for one. Some people swear by them, some could care less.

There are a few parts that are _arguably_ better from colt- bolt carrier group being the one that comes to mind- but overall, I'll save my money and buy 2 somewhere else for what colt charges.

[virginia mountainman]

15. Well, since the AR's are modular...

Use a Colt Bolt carrier group, in your NON Colt, almost a thousand dollar cheaper rifle...

[X_Digger]

16. Yup!

Right now both my ARs have national match BCGs from Bushmaster (got a good price a couple of years ago.)

[Pierre.Suave]

12. So, a legit question

I have an AR, how does this differ from it?

[X_Digger]

14. This is an ar-15, just from colt..

After the ban in '94, a bunch of new manufacturers started up shop, all cranking out mil-spec lower receivers and uppers. Colt, Armalite, and Bustmaster were the big three at the time with upstart DPMS relatively new on the scene. Now there's easily 20-30 manufacturers that I can think of offhand. Quality varies somewhat, but there are only a few outfits that produce a lot of lemons (Olympic, Vulcan, ...)

[Pullo]

18. I think DPMS sells more than anyone

Most gun shows I've been to for the last 15 years have had a dedicated DPMS table(s) with all sorts of different AR variations and accessories. They were well prepared to take advantage of the inevitable surge of interest in AR's after the 94 AWB. Other companies have been springing up since and even Remington has jumped on the AR bandwagon. But I don't think anyone had the advantage DPMS had.

Bushmasters were all over the place too during the 90's, but the DPMS guys were/are much more visible at the shows.

....not bad guns either

[X_Digger]

19. Yup, one of mine..

is a DPMS.

I remember back when it came to AR-15s, it was 'ABC's (armalite, bushmaster, colt). Some people still don't like DPMS, but they're a great value choice.

[benEzra]

25. 33 manufacturers, as of a couple of years ago. (n/t)

[slackmaster]

26. Technically those are NOT "assault weapons"

At least under current federal law, that term has no meaning.

They're just rifles.

[Endangered Specie]

31. I think I'll take my ak
