Is this worth a Colt 6920

I’m in the process of tradeing my NIB Colt 6920 for this AKS-74U it has 21 rounds thru it. It was built by Magnum Gunsmith in Ohio.The reciever is Nodak. Is this an even trade. I know kits are going for over $900.00 plus a Nodak $100.00 and build $350.00 to $500.00. I believe the 6920 are going for anywhere from $1300.00 up to $1700.00

IMO no, it’s not worth it. The 6920 is a better weapon and less of a novelty/toy to me…

In my opinion NO! I would not trade your 6920 for that.

Built on a Russian kit? I’d do it.

I would say heck no!
The 6920 is a far more useful weapon and like gold at the moment.

Negatron.

Difference b/t a communist and a patriot if u ask me! Ill stick w. the made in the USA one!

No, I would not.

depends on your taste. you probably wont use either for serious purposes, so which one is a “better weapon” is meaningless.

Both have approximately equal values. go for it.

if he adds about 4 grand on top of that go for it :wink:

How many 6920’s do you have? If you have a couple more, yeah make the trade; if not, I don’t think I’d trade. The krink is however a unique weapon, and has it’s place in the arsenal.:cool:

Nyet!

Who’s paying the tax stamp?
I would go for it, but I have a few redundant ARs.
It certainly is cheap to shoot.

I’d think that your Colt is worth a smidge more at the moment…

If you could get him to cover the transfer or toss in mags/ammo to sweeten the pot a little, I’d strongly consider it – ESPECIALLY if a had other ARs to play with.

ETA: Shoot it first! You could completely change your mind with that little detail.

Have a Colt 6933 plus a couple more SBR. He would pay his form 3 (out of state) and I would pay my form 4. I got this new after the sunset. I don’t own a 5.45 so I would have to get ammo and mags.

Pros

1 Don’t have to wait on a build

Cons

1 Have to buy more ammo
2 Have to buy more mags
3 between the form 3 (4 weeks) and my form 4 ( 6 weeks) won’t see the weapon for 10 to 16 weeks

Maybe yes if you were trading for something like this, but…

… definitely NO if you’re trading for this.

so the only thing going for it is that you don’t need to wait?

that seems a little short sighted. it also seems like it will be a somewhat expensive proposition for very modest gains (if there are any gains at all)

if you want a 5.45 so bad, get the S&W upper. you don’t need to wait on that either, i’ve seen them in stock.

why switch platforms without a valid reason if you’re already invested in ARs?

As it stands, financially, you’re getting the short end of the bargain.

This is what I also wondered…

If you have more than one AR of the same type as the 6920 (GP carbine) then it might be worth your while as the Krink kits are drying up. Is you’re trading your only 6920 then I would say no.

ETA: Saw your other post, nevermind. Meh, do whatever you think you’ll be happiest with.

The 6920 is more replaceable, and, IMO more useful.
Do it if that’s what you want to try, but, IMO it’s a novelty and maybe the novelty will wear off. Just depends on you.
