Lgs guy told me he could get $1600 ea online for two unused Colt pencil barrels I have sitting in the safe. This is extremely tempting. I hear the AR market is soft so Im thinking sell both and buy one of something else and slap an Aimpoint on it keep the remainder. The question is replace with what?
Straight up. He said 15-1600 i have the original boxes and the bag of stuff that came with it.Quote:

Virginia?
The prices are starting to come back down to reality now, but right after Colt suspended sales to the consumer market Colt leg humpers and Cloners went full retard. I sold a couple lowers for twice and three times what I paid for them, and I sold the two brand new 6920's that I had socked away for my kids when they come of age. I bought two BCM uppers to replace them and mated them to a couple Aero Precision lowers I had in my safe. The rest of the money went toward our family trip to Disneyland this spring.
No im not in Va i assume online salesQuote:

In 5 months you'll probably be able to sell them and buy a new house.Quote:

People were posting 6920’s on gun auction sites after Colt suspended sales for incredible prices. But I’m not so sure how many of those guns were actually selling.
So many people stocked up on Colt AR’s when they were $600-700 that they’re not “rare”. I bought a Colt 6920 Trooper for $689, just because. Figured it’d make a nice spare gun. It did, at that price.
I could sell off those Colts I have easily enough. IF I were willing to price them accordingly. But I’m not willing to sell them at that much of a loss. Which I’m not willing to do. They’re paid for. They don’t cost me anything to sit in the safe, so I don’t see them going anywhere soon.
I like Colts but I try try not to pay crazy prices for them. Every time the prices go crazy Colt starts selling them again
16” with MCMR? I’m a big BCM fan, partly due to their barrel profiles.Quote:
