I have a dilema. I already own a LE6920 that is stock. I now have the chance to buy another LE6920 NIB. Should I buy it and keep it NIB and let the value go up on it or should I spend the money and upgrade the one I already own. I was leaning towards buying the NIB rifle just cause I can upgrade mine at anytime down the road as funds allow, but I thought I would bring the dilema to my fellow BRD suffers. lol

I buy rifles to shoot, not as investments.

If buying optics and other accessories for your current rifle will enhance your shooting experience, then get those. If you are fine with a stock rifle and don't really need the accessories, then get the second rifle.

i understand as normally i am the same way, but with the way the current outlook is obama will be the next prez which would make are rifles especially the le6920 off limits and thus a good investment. optics and such will still be available at later dates. so again what should i do. buy the 2nd rifle just in case, or say screw it and just upgrade what i have?

Get the second Colt and then post a thread about what you should do with your two rifles.

If the price is reasonable I would not hesitate to buy it.

If another AWB comes into play it will only be harder to get later and more expensive.

Besides you always need a back up.

Why buy a 6920 & be concerned with resale value? I understand that financial emergencies happen but I don't buy rifles to sell. Sounds like you already know the answer to your question but two 6920's is better than one. Back up guns in the same config as the other one as you intend to shoot them is always a great idea. If you want the rifle then buy it now because at present things are not looking great for another Republifriend POTUS with how John McCain is running his campaign. Get the cost of the 6920 out of the way now & a little while of saving some fun money will allow you to buy optics & other less costly accessories later. You can keep the guns stock for a lil while & still have two functioning weapons without splurging on a bunch of tactical accessories to keep up with the hive right now. Enjoy.

Why would the value go up? How much are you planning on spending?

I would buy a kit and build a new AR instead of a LE6920.

I wouldn't do it personally.  I think the main reason people want those rifles because they say for law enforcement only.  If i was you i would try to build my own rifle and use the money you save from not buying the second LE6920 and use it for cool tactical gear.  Then you would have one stock LE6920 and one custom tactical rifle.  Just my .02

Buy another and trick it out later.

How much does a Colt run, $1300? You could build a nice AR from a kit for $700 and have $600 left over for goodies to trick one of them out. This way you can get both!
