Love my new Colt 6920 MPR.  However all the talk about the Geissele triggers...just had to have one!  Ordered a SSA-E today.  Can't wait to install and get to the range.  Is there a market for my almost new colt trigger or best to hang on in case I decided to sell?

I'd keep it for spare parts.  Eventually enough spare parts accumulate and become another rifle, the magic of the black rifle

Well, that too  After about a dozen or so, it does become a curse of sorts.  Anything I like, I usually have to buy a dozen of them, something inexpensive as a $40 sling becomes $500 when you have to buy that many

My favorite is when you buy a new grip and then you have that extra A2 laying around.
You aren't going to sell it for 3 dollars, it isn't worth the hassle IMO for something that cheap.
But the it just doesn't look right all alone, not attached to a lower....
...Oh PSA blems so sale, $60?....

Fast forward one month and you will be thinking about what grip to buy on your "new" rifle again.
Which leaves you with that same pesky A2 all alone once replaced..
...Circle of life..

Keep the old parts because if you ever decide to get rid of the rifle, the new trigger will be worth as much in the rifle as it will be selling it separately.

I built a second rifle once then I never shot the first once I built so I sold it.  Now I keep a few spare parts like tiggers and bolts as back ups.

Thank for the input.  I'll keep as spare or start to my first build!

Yup.

I have a "spare" A2 grip, BCG, a sling and one Magpul follower in a box right now.  Teasing the fuck out of me...

Almost as bad as me buying another .40 pistol because I found some .40 ammo left over from the last one that I sold

That't how I got my Colt.  Went to buy 9mm ammo after a day at the range, came home with 6920 mpr!

The black rifle spurring the economy, who knew!

Well I know our company (Battle Arms) has created jobs and pumped money into local and interstate businesses (being completely US made, we acquire components we don't make ourselves from other sources that are also US made, down to the cardboard instruction cards).

So while your ARs multiply from seemingly surreptitious causes, you can take comfort in knowing somewhere along the line, you've helped create and / or keep US jobs

I had a charging handle that turned into a rifle once.

Also lets not get into A2 grips I have a box full of them along with standard charging handles, A2 FH, and standard trigger guards.
