I would say that's maybe a little on the high side. Plus if you live in MA that gun would have to be neutered down to be AWB compliant if you were looking to buy one of those specifically.
I sure hope he's exempt or lives out of MA- because frankly, neutering a Colt 6920 should be just about considered a war crime.
ETA: FWIW, the "Non Ban Scare" price for a 6920 was about $1250-1350 depending on availability. So you have to go between that and the "how badly do I want this" factor.
