I read in a previous post where a guy was selling a 6601 with a gov.profile barrel on it. He was told that the barrel hurt value since 6601's had heavy bbl's and no other. I also own a 6601 (blue label preban)that has the original barrel,plus I have a another barrel thats also a heavy 20" 1/7 but it has a bayo lug in almost new cond. Would switching the barrels since both are almost identical diminish value. I realize some guys don't care if it has a lug or not but I think it looks naked without. Just my .02 worth. What d'yall think? |
| Guess I should have mentioned that the 6601 is all original Colt,and the other barrel with the bayo lug is Colt mfg. too. Both barrels have identical markings(CMP 1/7),color,and finish.The only difference is the lug.I don't plan on selling. I would be doing this purely as an aesthetic thing. I know that its not a collectable like some AR's ,but I didn't want to diminish what it is worth. |
| I appreciate your opinion even if I don't agree with it. Whether or not a person chooses to sell a possession is irrelevant.Don't you think its nice to know if something has increased in value? I certaintly wouldn't want to butcher it.In regards to being a "Colt guy",I happened to stumble upon this AR during a trade. I was interested in a GOOD QUALITY AR and not a POS.In fact,my first AR almost was a Bushmaster, instead its a Colt. I personally don't care if its an Orange,Yellow, or even a Pink label. What I was basing this question on was a post I saw in E.E. about a 6601 for sale with the wrong barrel. He was advised that because of that it would not bring as much as one closer to original. The first AR I had a chance to shoot was a friends SP1 years ago, and that particular image stayed with me(w/the "evil" lug). I don't feel like mine is better VS "other brands". In fact,I'm seriously considering a RRA for a 2nd AR. I asked the "barrel" question because I still consider myself NEW at this and I still have much to learn.I mentioned the specifics on the barrel because "308wood" misunderstood the barrel mfg. He thought I meant AFTERMARKET. BTW,I'm not trying to start a flame war. Just learn! |
