Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

Curious if it has the LE only stamp on it, but regardless that is a good price. I gave $1200 for one for my wife 5 years ago w/ stamp, 6940's were going for $1400 then with stamp. During the shortage after SH they were over $4k on GB

And they will shoot up again in price on the next panic.  in 2008 all my friends were calling asking what they should buy. I told them "nothing"  if you waited this long just sit tight and wait for the panic to stop and then buy what you should have had all along....

If I had the extra cash those would be on my list and left in the box.  When the panic starts again, and it will, the Colt branded stuff always commands a premium over the other brands like Bushmaster, Stag, etc.  Now is the time to buy some.  You can triple you money in the next panic.  e.g. Clinton wins and pursues another "assault" weapon ban like her hubby

My buddy paid 2g for one after SH... Colts do seem to spike harder than other brands when there's a panic.

Only reason I would ever buy another is for investment purposes as trn stated, for that price you can build a better unit. Back then I didn't assemble my own.

^^^With him

I build my own from parts these days

But to have a few around to barter/trade/gift is nice too!

I'm going to de-rail my own thread.

I agree with building as I have built my fair share.(you get exactly what you want without leftover parts)  I am curious as to what you both would select to build for that price?  A general sense of whose lower, LPK, Upper, Bolt/Carrier, furniture, sights, etc.
