I was feeling pretty good about the $499 price tag on my recently purchased R1 1911 untill I got an email flyer this morning announcing that Remington is offering a $100 rebate on the R1 for the next six weeks starting today.... A day late and a dollar short......I'm telling ya...that's my life's story... Anyway.....for anyone interested in a solid mil-spec 1911, Grab-A-Gun has the R1 on sale for $499 ($399 after rebate)+ $7 shipping. That's a lot of gun for four hundred bucks. PS.....if you buy one please don't rub it in....

FieldGrade: I have been THERE and done that on rebates and etc!
I hope you can finagle a "re-do" on that rebate.
For $399.00 that pistol is a great buy.
Thanks for the heads up.

I probably bought em for about that price because of the bulk purchase, but, still would have liked to have had a little bargaining wiggle room.

Buy one at $399, then average, $450 each! It sucks when this happens.

Is the R1 a decent pistol? Yes.....I read at least a hundred reviews and couldn't find one single complaint. And that wasn't just gun writers touting their sponsors wares. Here's a link to a thread I started before I bought mine with some good info and links posted by members here. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...012529/re-remington-r1-1911#Post12012529

Rebate does not appear on the Remington website. Do I have to sigh up for their updates/newsletter?
I'm better when I move.

Thanks. Went back to the Remington site and the details do appear if you click on Rebates and Promotions, "download complete details"

Sure looks like it. I had to look hard enough to find the rebate on the Remington site that the start date surprised me. Sorry you missed that deal.

Awright, awright. I READ the post. It just was slow percolating into my under-coffeed brain.
I should have written May 15 start, July 30 end date.

Great deal and I keep going back for a 2nd look, especially since I have never owned a 1911. However, unlike the reviews that you read I did not have any trouble reading negative reviews .

Well....FWIW......Mine runs perfectly and no problems with the magazines with ball or hp ammo. That's just a sample of one though sooooo.

Return a gun for no good reason......clearly you've never bought a gun on-line. It's not a faulty gun and it dam sure isn't the vendors fault...just poor timing. Besides....Grabagun gave me excellent friendly service at a great price....why would I want to see them get stuck with a used gun they have to try and resell?
