I've got a pre-ban Colt 6520 Gov't Carbine with the pencil barrel and 2-position stock. Gun is in probably 90-95% condtion.
In the (2008) Blue Book the gun is potentially worth from $1600-1900 (depending on what someone is willing to pay). I've seen them on Gun Broker for on average $1300. Here's the question, If I can sell it for, let's say $1400-1500, Should I get a "factory" 6920 Colt, or just invest in building another custom rifle? I ask, because this Colt is my the last "factory" gun in my AR collection. The rest are custom builds. Would another factory Colt be a better investment, long-term? All my custom ARs are shooters, while the 6520 is an investment/Safe Queen rifle. Investment value notwithstanding, I've got my customs for shooters, Also, I'd be looking to make probably $500 or so on the 6520. What does the Hive think, sell, the 6520? Keep it? Sell for another custom build? Sell for a new Colt? |
