After reading all about colt M4's I wouldlike to get one. I am starting to see the prices level off now that the panic buying is over. I would like to spend under 1300.00 bucks. Is this possible? I livwe in IL and we dont have gun shows and my job doesnt give me a day off. How the hell can I get one?

Also I am interested in the 6920 model.

It's still gonna be hard to find a 6920 for less than 1300, more like $15-1600. I bought mine from same dealer in August for $1199

Im a member of gunbroker I didnt know if anyone knew of a spot where they were normally priced again. If anyone goes to a gun show can they please update me with a price of what they are selling for?

Latest Houston, Texas area gunshows here the dealers have been selling them from $1699 up. Afraid that's pretty much the average price. I bought mine in August from the same dealer for $1199.

Who told you that the panick buying is over? It's only going to worse the more the Dems talk about an imminent gun ban. Good luck. Buying doesn't only happen at gun shows. Surf the net & you can find them from various online vendor sources & have it shipped to your FFL pending transfer.

the only website that i know of is this one and gunbroker. I have a complete lower I need a M4 upper but with all the back order lists it looks quicker to buy a rifle.

Which if you spend more than 5 minutes here you'll run into to links within links that can lead you to multiple online gun dealers. Just go to the EE there are tons of dealers on there alone.

Try Knesek guns. They take up to 50 orders at a time. 1450 for 6920s, 1200 for 6520s. (last i checked)

You can find one for around  your $1300 budget. You are definately going to have to pound the pavement and the keyboard to find something,  like we all have to. It is tough times out there right now. You may have to wait, but you'll find it.

Good luck...

you say prices are leveling off seems to me a member here was asking a mere $2300 in the EE     a spectulative hopeful idiot

My friend....panic buying has just begun. Give it time.

I would expect gun shows to be the last place you would want to buy from. They notoriously overcharge and I would be suspect of any gun sold there new or otherwise. Unless you really know what your doing.

Personally, I believe you are better off watching the EE instead of going with Gunbroker.  I've bought some things off of there and had good luck.  I've had terrible luck while trying to sell something on there or getting them to respond to issues.  I've cancelled my account on there and can't get them to respond on why they've billed me what they have.  Here, although it may be difficult, you have a better chance of finding a 6920 in the range you are looking for.  I think you're likely going to have to be willing to pay a little more though, but you might get lucky.

With all of that being said, I also think they need to add a link to the EE for marriage counseling or at least post a disclaimer (Can be harmful to marriages!).  It's very addicting!  

Good luck!!

Just wait, they are going to come down a little more. I believe most AR's will, not just Colt.
