Quoted: All one has to do is google your prior listings, read the details of past sales on other forums which clearly point to your no-so-credible posts here. Not to mention parts you have sold in the past, which you claimed were legit, but turned out not to be. If buyers don't want to look you up, its on them. I am not a fan or a buyer. I am a tough guy...I say what I mean...when in PA, let me know. Look me up. Blowhard! View Quote |

Wow, would you look at that! Ouch, someone wanted that one.
I bought a complete U.S. M4A1 SOCOM from the same seller earlier this year but at an amazing low low price. View Quote |

I guess we're not supposed to link to smallarmssolutions videos on YouTube, is that correct?
Anyway, I watched a 46 minute video this morning about his take on the Colt situtation. 1. He thinks it's political given Colt's not-so-friendly history of 2A support. 2. If it's NOT political, then they are stupid to say they are concentrating on things that are not going to sustain them. They have a tendency to "bring things back" rather than innovate. 3. IF Colt resumes AR production for the retail market when their contracts are fulfilled, that could likely be 2024 or thereabouts. It's a 46 minute video and most of it is the history of Colt. |

"If"
"Think" "Guess" "Probably" "Maybe" "Possibly" "Opinion" Nobody knows for certain. Why not just leave shit at that? |

Honestly, curious to see what happens a year from now. I think that will answer a lot of questions.

Brownells is stating backorders on Colt uppers will be filled.

Thankfully, not everyone is charging ass rape prices.
Just bought a LE6920 with Magpul MOE furniture from a guy off Armslist. He didn't have the box, but the gun is in unfired condition. $820. Didn't think that was too bad in the current market. |

Brownells Colt complete M4 lowers easily sell for $600+ now. View Quote Of course those Brownells lowers and complete rifles at the $700 marked changed that for a while. |

It is completely reasonable to raise the price on items that are in high demand with fixed supply. AU is a business in this to make money. And $1500 is not out of line with what Colt 6920s previously cost prior to the market being flooded with inventory. If you don’t like the price, don’t buy one. This is capitalism, not communism and businesses don’t exist for any reason other than to make money. |

2 Used Colt complete basic CR M4 lowers just sold for $750 and $790.
Listing said new but they were like new. I must restrain myself from selling any Brownells Colt M4 lowers. One thing nice about the Brownells ones is that it can be used as a pistol or rifle opposed to other Colt lowers for sale that are take offs and can not be used for pistols. This should up the price a tad. I must restrain myself. |

I'll wait it out; hopefully I'll find one at a good price. If not, oh well. |

I think it may be subsiding a bit. I'm seeing Colt complete ARs sitting on EE for a bit longer now. The lowers are still selling pretty well.

SOCOM's, 9mm AR's and lower receivers/OEM lowers seem to be the items selling really high. I saw an OEM lower sell at 1400 yesterday. It is kind of surprising seeing how many bids that the 9mm AR's are getting.

Quoted: I agree. People will just buy them and resell them on Gunbroker. There's a price you can sell them that is above reseller price, but below gouging. Make your money while you can. The people complaining here about "price gouging" have had 6 years of salad days to buy Colt OEM 2's at $650. I know because I bought them hand over fist while people were fighting about who is better, Colt or BCM. I think we have our answer to that discussion now. lol. View Quote |

Can someone summarize what the prices have been doing?
Regular 6920s? SOCOMs? US Prop Marked SOCOMs? etc. |
|
|
I'll say it again: IF Colt sticks to their new policy for a few years the prices will be at panic levels.
Buy NOW if you want one; WAIT if you want to sell one. |
|
|
Some prices for average models are creeping back down...LE6920, AR6720.
LE6920 SOCOM's are still drawing $2500+, 9mm AR's are all over the place. I have seen AR15A4's draw between $1400 and $1700. You have to watch like a hawk to find a deal. There are a few periodically. |

Quoted: Summary: All the prices have gone up. View Quote While a bit snarky, I get it. The thing is, for a week or two after the announcement was made, prices were freakin' bonkers. Colt US Prop. SOCOMS near like $3500+, regular 6920s north of $1600, etc. It seems to me that the prices have trended down pretty significantly since, but I haven't been watching them like a hawk like some of the Colt enthusiasts on here. That's why I asked. But yeah I know they've generally gone up all across the board. Just was looking for some specifics |

Here's one out of left field:
What do you suppose the current value would be for one of the Colt factory dissipator (6536) CHP rifles is? They were $699 or so in 2009, and $1300 in 2013. Already was one of the more rare models, do you reckon that the September announcement had any effect on these? |
|
Those older models have been minimally impacted because they were already out of production. I could see maybe a $100 or $200 increase but not much more.

What do you all think the market is going to do for the 901's?
Seriously considering selling/trading my 16SE for an LMT. I thought, Colt would continue to support the 901's but that's not happening. Discontinued conversion blocks, no barrels, limited parts supplies for all models. Was hoping to cobble together a 6.5 CM upper. Not a chance now. As a collectible, the 901 may slowly gain some desirability. As a shooting platform, there seem to be many better supported choices. |

View Quote New In Box examples were selling at about $1500 before the Coltpocalypse and are going for about $2000 now. People have been pricing them as high as $4600 but I haven't seen anything sell above about $2300. If you shoot what you have you risk it becoming a paperweight. The 901-16SE is on my Colt bucket list. |

So I have an unfired SOCOM with a 14.5 pinned barrel that I bought last year. As well as three other 6920’s that are unfired. Wonder what I could get for them....

Unfortunately you have missed the peak of prices. The SOCOMs are still going $2000+ depending on bidder mood the day of auction close. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
