http://prebanarms.com/detail.asp?product_id=c306 http://prebanarms.com/detail.asp?product_id=c373 Seems pretty pricey. If these are indeed pricey, where's are the good places to look for rifles similar to these? Shotgun News doesn't seem to advertise these anymore... - Snacko |

Here ya go, I fixed the links for you, Snacko: prebanarms.com/detail.asp?product_id=c306 prebanarms.com/detail.asp?product_id=c373 |

Snacko - I concur. The prices are high. I have seen R6601 rifles, NIB, on this board for $1,300. Sancho makes good recommendations. There are also a number of reputable sellers in the equipment exchange if you have an FFL available to take delivery of a rifle from out of state. |

Here's and example: Bought Colt Model R6601 the day after Christmas for $1000, with 1346 rds of ammo, 8 stripper clips, ammo can, Owner's Manual, after market sling, 2 5/20 rd Colt mags, 2 30 rd OKay Mag, and SKS Nylon Case. No BOX. Sold the 2 Colt mags for $68, and the upper for $475. Installed complete Colt 20" 1/7 A2 upper (with A2 Compensator and Bayonet Lug) and standard push pin I already had. Figure I'm into it for $480, not including the parts I already had. Just yesterday, someone offered me a pre-ban Bushmaster for $1000. Earlier this year, I had another oportunity to by a pre-ban for $900. |

It depends on what you want. If you want an AR with a heavy barrel, flash suppressor and bayonet lung, maybe. If you want an AR that will shoot and feel the same as a pre-ban, no. For these prices you could buy post-ban 2 AR's. Then you would have 2 different configurations(i.e. 20" and M4). If you were going to buy a preban, I would recommend an SP1 because of the lightweight barrel which is currently availale. My thoughts, Spambo |
| I purchased my 6601 several years ago for $600, and I have seen them sell (on average) for $1400. I just purchased a DPMS lower the other day for $119, and today I ordered the rest of the parts for my 2nd rifle for $417 with shipping. That brings the total to $536 for a new rifle, and if you really want something on the end of the barrel, they make some nice muzzle brakes that you can have put on. I do not see a reason to shell out that much money for a pre-ban rifle. |

Thanks to all who have contributed :-) It appears that ~$1000-1300 is the number to shoot for for a Colt 6601 preban. The key factor is condition, with $1300 for the upper end of the scale. I'll keep my eyes open for something in this range. Thanks again... - Snacko |
