Remington has a $75 rebate or a Kart barrel, one of 3 barrels, treaded, NM, or gunsmith fit on some of their R1's. See their facebook for details.

I called Plainfield today and they had one RO for $779. I asked if they could move a little on the price and was told no....

I have a itch for a 1911. I am looking at the Remington R1 enhanced and the Springfield RO. Any suggestions ? There is a RO on the classified forum but I am new here and can't contact the seller. So... any suggestions ?

$738...

Springfield RANGE OFF 5" 7RD 45BL $738.00 SHIPS FREE

Thanks, I'll look into that ! Does anyone know the difference between the Range Officer and the Loaded ?

The gun is still worth the money. I've bought higher priced guns that aren't close to the quality of the RO.

Hay WC Buck did you ever get your other 45 sold?

Thumperdogg, Thanks for the link ! I have never been to that site. They are out of state so there wouldn't be any taxes ...

I did. A guy from Kokomo bought it on Tuesday. Now I'm looking to get a Range Officer.

They are pretty sweet. I think when the funds come in getting the ruger sr 1911

That's what I paid for my 9mm last week. I figured that being able to check it out live and being under $800, I'm good. Everything online was as much or more by the time I added all the fees.

The prices might relax a little on them. Who knows?

You can do a comparison on SA website.

I owned both. The trigger is much better on the RO and it has target sights no ambi safety.

I'm thinking the Buds price that thumperdogg showed me looks good. Free shipping and no taxes.... just the FFL fee.

I have bought off Bud's before. No issues at all. I would buy from them again.

You will be around $750 total. That's not bad at all.

That's what I'm thinking gregkl. Only thing that would have been better would have been to get yours before it was sold..!!

If I may give some friendly advice, usually trying to negotiate the price of a firearm over the phone won't get you very far, better to do this in person. Also if you have cash with you, your odds will be considerably better. If they still won't move on the price, it may be due to that particular gun being popular and they know that someone else will most likely come along soon and just be happy to have found someone who had it in stock and pay sticker price. This is just my and YMMV.

I was going to post the same thing. I know for a fact that Bob will move on prices, especially with cash on the table.

And even if he won't move on the gun, he will give you a discount on anything else you need in the store. So you might take a list with you.

Thanks for the advise. It's sound and appreciated. If I'm making a purchase, I'm quoted a price and I ask if we can work on it...well, I guess I expect a "what do you have in mind" or a "cash talks"...when I'm given a flat no. Well, no means no. No hard feelings on my part, they have a business to run and I understand that. I have a purchase to make with unfortunately, limited funds. I've made purchases from them before and I'm sure I will in the future. I called Midwest to check their price as I have purchased from them in the past. They quoted me $789. I asked them if we could work on the price, didn't tell them the other price and they replied...sure how does $735 sound?
Well, kid in college, bills to pay and a 1911 itch that needs scratched...sounds pretty good. Got to love the free market.

His trade in value is the best I have found locally.
