6920 question sort of

AR/M4 AR General Discussion
1

I have a question about Colt 6920’s, which I’m not sure fits here…but here goes…

I already have 2 but am thinking of adding a third…I’m not really looking to drop another $1600 or so without selling something else or trading…so I’m considering selling an Arsenal milled M7R which is NIB unfired and picking up another 6920…I know this is a AR15 board, but does anyone have any thoughts on where the 6920 market is headed vs. milled AK’s…

BTW… I already have 2 other M7A1R’s mileld Arsenal’s so either way I’m covered…

Any thoughts?

Why would you need a 3rd 6920?

I don’t even have one. :confused:

The AK market is probably only going to get stronger (higher prices) as well.

I’d just build an AR for a lot less than the price that the factory Colts are commanding.

Just my opinion! :stuck_out_tongue:

3

It isn’t a question of “need” sometime…just want…

I enjoy the Colt rifles and they certainly are going up in value…my question is mainly is about future value and appreciation…Just trying to get an idea as I know in my case I enjoy both types of rifles

Where is the market going on 6920’s…any guesses…

4

It’s anyone’s guess. If a ban comes, they’ll go thru the roof. It’ll also depend on production. Strong demand seems to be obvious.

5

Check the AK prices. Those are soaring too. Keep the AK and save for the Colt. The day may come when you can get your hands on 7.62 but not .223. Good to have rifles in different chamberings.

6

I have other milled Arsenal AK’s so in thought giving up the M7R doesn’t bother me…just trying to get a handle on if the general thought is the 6920’s will calm down once this initial “wave” of people buying them runs out…or slows down

I’m looking on GB and other sites and seeing the prices seem to be hanging around $1600-1700 for 6920’s…yet the milled Arsenal stuff is about the same…and is currently discontinued and “rarer”

7

My opinion is that Arsenal, Inc. best days are behind them - they will never make guns as good as their original “no ban” SAM7 and SAM5 series ever again.

8

I agree the “no ban” milled rifles…which this is one of them…were simply the best AK’s of the current crop…IMO the only ones nicer or inline were the SA85M’s Kassnar imported (I have U/F #100), the Yugo rifles, and some of the Poly’s (Legends mainly)

I know the 6920 is popular and all and I really like the AR’s…but I’m wondering if their increased popularity will subside some as compared to the milled AK’s

Any ideas if Colt is releasing more 6920’s

9

Interesting… What’s comparable nowadays?

10

I’m not sure if anything is comparable to the milled Arsenals…they are really that nice and IMO much nicer than any of the stamped rifles…short of the ones I mentioned…

IMO the milled rifles are sort of the 6920’s of the AR world…which is why I’m open to a possible trade…although I’m on the fence as I see 6920’s on the market for less than $1600 for NIB rifles…granted they are selling…but comparable to M7A1R or M7…there are tons of 6920’s out there.

I’m wondering if the initial hype and surge is sort of plaining out…

IMO the milled Arsenals have been steadly moving up vs…spiking…so I’m wondering what has longer term investment potential

Here is a pic for those who asked…

Nothing.

ls6man I sent you a PM.

i recently sold an early SAM7 to fund buying a 6920. the guy i sold it to has 26 AKs, and had the same attitude that i have…the milled arsenals are certainly the nicest AK around, but in the end they don’t shoot any better than any other properly built AK. all of my guns are working guns, and although i like the idea of they gaining value, i don’t stick them in the back of the safe and leave them there. KCI, AZresponse, and Rifle Dynamics all build AKs that will hang with the milled arsenals performance-wise. and the fact that these custom builds are built as hard working guns and kind-of lends to the thought that the milled receiver is just a novelty.

as for long term investment value, it’s anyone’s guess.

i had the arsenal for a little over a year and in that time it went up maybe $200. the colt i paid $1250 for about 3 weeks ago is going for around $1700.

just my .02

I’m sorry but I have to disagree with you here. Krebs build AK’s that are more novelty than anyone else, and RD bills his AK’s as “fighting guns”… sort of a novelty if you ask me.

15

your opinion of krebs i can see. but i have run one side by side with my arsenal and the only difference was the krebs trigger was lighter.

how is a fighting gun a novelty. to me a novelty is something unique or an item that people have, just to have.

aren’t fighting guns that what you guys strive for with the whole TDP colt, noveske, lmt being a tier above the rest argument?

16

I am really on the fence with either rifle…I can see arguments for either being worth more and since I have both I’m not torn in either direction…It would be cool to get another 6920 as I think they are way more versatile as you can swapp uppers, etc…but an AK is an AK and the milled Arsenals are the best IMO…

I’m headed to Chantilly this Sat if anyone wants to meet up there…supposed to be a great show

Milled Arsenal SA M-7 A1… I bought mine for $650.00 :stuck_out_tongue:

18

yeah they used to sell NIB for less than $900…when they were made…nice M7A1R…

What were 6920’s going forright before the election…I used to have 4 of them including a 6922 (1/9) and sold them off only to buy 2 more over the summer…

19

I’ve personally only sold 2 guns in my life and regretted both. I just won’t do it anymore personally.

Does a “chart” exist for AK’s anywhere?

lol

It would be 300 pages long.
