LE6920s for $755ish? Why yes, I do need a second M4. Why do you ask?

WARPIG602Sign of the times. Hard enough for AR makers, double whammy if you're Colt who was already having trouble.

K.O.A.M.I just picked a 6920 up off Gunbroker for $700. Marked for export to Mexico.
What, me worry?

bubbatimeColt 6720 pencil carbine for $747. One of my all time favorites. Probably the best "budget" duty rifle a person could buy. I'd issue these all day long before issuing 6920's if I was a purchasing officer.

I think you and I may have heard about those from the same thread on another board where I learned of grabagun.

You couldn't get it much cheaper if you bought it from a drunken indian (an old Saturday Night Live Heather Locklear skit

)...
AR15 meet the new reality

...will it continue?...time will tell (I'm skeptical).

DaBigBRIf 6720s hit $700, I'm buying a couple. Because reasons.

ACTEGNot to derail this thread, but how does the Ruger compare to the colt 6720? Generally, I've heard pretty good reviews on the Ruger. I don't see a $300 difference in the specs, but understand the pony rollmark adds some value.

The Ruger budget line is known as a budget line. The Colts are coming down in price but are still considered the Gold Standard of AR-15 quality. Yes, many manufacturers build "better" ARs or ARs more specifically tailored to a given use, but the Colt 67/69 series are a benchmark. You're either above or below it.
Once the current glut ends, which would you rather have? The budget build made for sport shooting, or the rifle built solidly to TDP specifications?
Your mileage may vary but that's my take on how the market will treat the two brands.

patwThat is a good deal. I would love to get another 6920 as I sold mine years ago.
