i got lucky and bought a colt 6920 pre-crazy price, but post shooting from sportmans outdoor superstore. i actually order a 6720 and it ended up being out of stock so i ordered a 6920 and then about a week later a nice lady called me one saturday morning to apologise for the 6720 not being in stock and then said they just got a shipment of windhams in and she would sell me one of those before telling the public they have them. so i scooped it up and even save money since it was less than the 6720.
then one day i got in on a buy for a forged AR15 striiped lower that were actually in stock. so i decided to get in line at JSE for a 10" upper kit which includes the lower parts kit. The lower came in about a week and a couple weeks later the upper kit shows up and im now half way done with the lower. also found some 30rd tapco in dark earth so i got a couple of those and bought a pagpul moe plus grip and will be doing that on this AR pistol.
i love guns of all kinds, heck, i even use my kids airsoft occasionally to shoot a bug off the high ceiling or something.
but for now, im considering this AR stuff to be an investment. a really fun investment. i know at any time i can flip the stuff i currently have and make a little cash on the upside.. but really, if i broke even i would be happy. BUT, i doubt i will ever sell.. these guns are pure awesome.
