And why is this cherished so?
Thank EarnestT for asking the question. Outrider, I am interested to hear what you find out.
I rarely sell any guns and not sure I would sell my SOCOM. Tough decision but if Colt is holding back info maybe I should hold onto it. I would hate to lose it in a boating accident. I paid around $2k for it in '13 but that also was a high point in the market. OTOH, I have others that shoot better.
Free State had loads of them prior to and up to Colt announcing that they are no longer providing to civilians. I'd guess they made lots of them. Definitely didn't seem hard to get one. When Colt issued that statement, one buddy immediately bought two, and another bought one, all at free state and within a close timeframe.
Two reasons:
1) Since Colt is at least for the foreseeable future, not producing rifles for civilians, they are fetching a premium for those who want them. They're damn good rifles.
2) Compounding the point above, MD residents are very limited in what we can buy as an AR, and the Colt 6920 SOCOM, represents probably the closest thing we can get to a real, high quality AR. You'll be hard pressed to find a lighter weight profile barreled AR that retains the HBAR designation and requirement per MD law.
These were the ones without the Government stamp on the lowers.
The uppers were the same, but the lowers didn’t have the stamp.
Just curious as to how much the non government stamped versions are running?
As I already said, $2000-2500. Markings make all the difference.
Combloc is not exaggerating.
They are selling for $2500 and more.
Those who think Colt AR's are not worth the price tag need to get some learning.

Nah, I use at least mid grade parts in my ARs... $2k, even the $1500 that's been floated been floated around can build something that shoots circles around a basic Colt while being just as reliable.
I agree and kudos for the seller. I'm all about capitalism. Spending that much on a milspec basic AR just doesn't float the boat that I have all my accidents in...

How about a short term lease???Just to be clear this rifle is not for sale at this time. Just a discussion about value.
