    Thanks for the heads up. I've been waffling about buying a 6920 for a while... guess I'll be getting that done quick.

    And just like that Colts increased in price.

    If there is one thing Colt has done well for collectors - it’s make guns more valuable.

    I predict by end of week, there will be $1000 6920s on ARFcom and within a month $12-1500

    I wouldn't be buying one for that very reason alone, on top of that it's not a decision I'd want to reward. There are other options available from companies not abandoning the market.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    That kind of money makes BCM look mighty good.

    To the OP, sorry to see them drop out of the civilian market . On the other hand, mismanaged companies should be free to die.

    If the prices go full retard, I'll sell the two 6920s I have put aside for my kids in a heartbeat and replace them with BCM carbines and pocket the rest. My 6933 won't be going anywhere though.

    I’ve been putting off getting a 6920, might have to explain to the wife it’s more of an urgency.

    In the event 6920s become ridiculously expensive, what’s a viable alternative in the same price range?
