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.... frown

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. grin

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.

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

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.
