Is it my imagination or are the prices for 6920s falling fast?

Weren't these fetching 1500-1800 a few months ago?

How low will they go?

I think you're correct. Heck, I ask a local dealer about one two weeks ago and the guy said $1650.00............ I said no thanks

For the money, I would get a DD XV instead of a 6920 and never look back. You get all the features of the Colt along with a hammer forged barrel. You also get a few intangibles like supporting a local business which happens to be a site sponsor and having Savannah, GA on your lower.

FWIW, DD, S&W, Charles Daly, Ruger, and the other companies that are now offering complete carbines are all eating into the Colt market share. I don't think we will see 6920's go for much less than 1K, but is good to see the street prices get a little more realistic.

about 4 months ago I watched a guy buy 12 6920's. he said he was buying for a retirement fund. He also paid 1750 a piece for them

Does DD sell direct? Or do I have to go through a third party?

AIM has the XV for $1139 and $1299 with the 7in Omega rail.

Any local dealers able to beat that?

This is an issue I had with DD...their price structure for dealers is not condusive to mom & pop shops.... the big boys get much steeper discounts.
I guess its someone's thinking that it would be better to sell to the bigger places and let them distribute to the small ones - less shipping/billing hassles
My wife's uncle is a DD dealer but you can buy off gunbroker or AIM or wherever about as cheap as his dealer cost......

All that said imho the DD is as nice as anything- i'm very happy with mine (2 DDM4's)

Don't know about pricing but, you can buy direct from DD. Also check with Dean Forest and Patrick Uniform in Garden City.
