Although this is my first post, I have been lurking for some time. I have found a lot of useful information here. Although I kept my RRA varmint rifles, I have sold my RRA Entry Carbine and Mid-Length carbine and am replacing them with 6920s. I have one that I obtained the hard way: separate lower then upper for too much $$.
Does anyone on this board stock 6920s for a reasonable price? I am former Army but am not LE, so I don’t qualify for a LE discount. Is one available in the $1250 - $1300 range.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and I appreciate any help/advice.
My first post too, everybody! I am happy to report that I bought one about a month ago from Clyde Armory. Two days from them to me here in Vermont. Linky: https://www.policeguns.com/catalog/
That Clyde Armory guy was party to a rather disturbing thread on another forum where someone bought something from him, and he refused to send a copy of his FFL to the receiving FFL, and the poor guy’s rifle was held hostage till something was figured out.
The moral of the story? Make sure your FFL will accept guns from other FFL’s without a copy. My understanding is he will provide the number for the E check, just wont send a paper copy.
I asked my FFL if he would do the transfer and he said “No problem.” And it wasn’t, nor were all the other transfers he did for me. I read that thread a number of times and for the life of me couldn’t understand what it was all about. Perhaps the backstory is not completely known here in the world of intertubes…
So, what’s all this I keep getting told about Colt moving up to Canada?
I’ve been hearing it for over a year now…and still I see 6920’s on the market.
What’s the deal? I know they bought a facility up there, but where has Colt ever come out and said they’re stopping production of their rifles and only building them up in Canada?
LT Phoon, I got my 6920 today from Clyde Armory. One business day delivery…can’t beat that. Came in under $1300 with shipping, insurance, and credit card fee. I would do business again with them.
Flawless transaction. Mine was $1296 ($1229 + $37 + $30). Of course, my FFL charged $35 on top of that to receive it so I guess actual cost is $1,331. Still better than the $1,500 I spent on separate upper and lower.
Generally, FFL’s throw a copy of their FFL in with guns they ship to other FFL’s so it is easy to properly document the weapon transfer from FFL to FFL in each’s bound book. It is not required, but over the years of this being done some FFL’s took it as law or procedure, and even took it a step ahead and decided they could not accept guns from persons without a FFL (interstate shipment). Having an FFL is a very repetitive process with all the firearms logging that happens.
It is my understanding the buyer bought the gun and it was promptly shipped, but the seller did not, and will not supply the paper copy of his ffl, for whatver reason. The receiving FFL sounded like one of “those types” who assumed the copy was required by law and would not release the gun to the buyer until he was satisfied the send was an FFL holder (again, even that is not required but apparently the receiving FFL thought so). To top it off, he was apparently unable or unwilling to check the senders FFL number against the ATF’s website, so a standoff of sorts ensued.
Combine the above with 3 cranky gun enthusiasts, and mayhem often results.
Individual state law not included. It is my understanding that certain states, Illinois being one of them, require a firearm to originate at an FFL if it is crossing state lines. Most states are not like this however and only required Federal Law be followed, which is that an interstate transfer of a firearm must go thru at least one FFL, via the transfer to the buyer. (Cops/govm’t not included).
I am please to see everyone getting their rifles, rather tempting.
