Mid January 09, a friend of mine purchased a 6920 from a local store in Austin, TX for $1400.

I wouldn't pay more than that personally.

You just have to look around.

My buddy paid $1,254 for one in Sept/Oct 08.  I was going to buy one too, but didn't have the cash at the time

He said he might sell it to me for $1,450.  I told him I will take it, but now he is looking for a M4 style upper.

I bought 2 6920s in October (I think) last year for $1230 each.

About $1100 here before and about the same after.

Colt announced well before the election there was going to be about a 3% price increase at the first of the year.  That is the only increase my dealer has shown. So no major price increases at my dealer like there has been at others.

Buy a couple 100,000 at once and you too can get that special price.

and don't forget I'm fairly sure that price is not including all the taxes laid on firearms.

Anyway to keep the thread on topic.

I was seeing them between 1200-1300 pre obama.

I paid 1400$ for one last month. compared to most of the prices I've been seeing....that was a deal.

nothing wrong with RRA. Honestly I like my RRA's just as much as my other guns (yeah..I have Colt as listed above and LMT as well)

Stake your gas key. Swap to a mil-spec buffer tube and stake it(if you care...I have commercial tubes on two of my AR's but I like the option of the SOPMOD etc)

I was looking at them in August for $1149+tax I decided to hold off. I panicked in Nov (Veterans Day) and bought for $1350 + $4 shipping. Not too bad, glad I didn't wait longer.
