I just snagged a Colt 6520 at the Reliant hall show for $999+tt&l, all NIB with mags etc.

LE only marked gun, but I thought the price was fair.
wasn't really looking for one but couldn't pass it up

 Only my second Colt AR(first one I ever got back in '92 was a 6700HB)
but I like how this carbine balances, light & handy.

Might get the wife to try it out.

yeah,  I bought from A&J  Guns(they're out of Dallas,said they do the Market Hall shows),
this was the only Colt they had but they also had about a dozen various Bushmasters  NIB,
a lightweight Bushy too but I wanted the 1:7 barrel, the Bushy's were $100-200 less
depending on model

only other NIB 6520 I saw was $1275 with no mags

one dealer had a bunch of cheap Oly's too, $640-750  (cast?)

I'll probably take some pics tomorrow, I need to get it home(still at work now)
& see what the feed ramps look like

nice rifle and as you already know, that's a great price.

Last gun show I went to (about 6months ago), vendors were still trying to get 2,200 and up for colt le marked rifles.

well it's got the feed ramps on the barrel extension & cut into the receiver

like others have noticed on these newer 6520's though
the ramps on the receiver don't appear to be anodized

Shit, I didn't realize that they were being cut after anodizing...that actually pisses me off a lot.  I've been trying to scrounge for a 6520, but I think I'll just get an ACOG now.  

I realize this isn't a huge issue, and I'm not dumping on your thread; just didn't expect this to be done by COLT's of all the makers out there.

Those Oly's were not cast unless they were pretty old. Thats what a good AR price is for the same quality as the so called ABC rifles are.

I know thay used some cast lowers in their "plinker" line just a few years ago so I wasn't sure.

I'm not a Colt snob btw.

I've owned/built/traded RRA,DPMS,Bushmaster,Armalite,Ameetec AR's.
