I see we have another 3rd row seat bandit, is there really that big of a black market for those things? And who leaves an assortment of firearms unattended in the bed of a truck? If you’re going to keep firearms, locked them up inside your residence and not your vehicle. If you’re going to transport them, don’t leave them unattended. Anyhow, I’m not sure what work has been done to that AR but your can buy a New LE 6920 Colt for around $1,000-1,200.
