Too bad I'm not a rich man. I would have been all over this deal! Wow. Keep a few 1911's for myself. Sell the rest to my XDtalk family. Get a SOCOM rifle to boot!!

I think a group buy for something like this would have been possible, but who would get the free rifle? Unless we would treat it like "community" property and just ship it around to different people and they could use it for a month. They could just pay S&H and FFL dealer costs. I dunno.... a guy can at least daydream, right?

I should have mentioned that the "deal" in the pic has already expired. But man, it is a nice thing to think about......

I am drooling.. too bad I couldnt afford it anyhow. That would be a kick ass deal though!

But Honey, sure I'll spend $12,000 on handguns but I'll get a $2,000 rifle free!

I wonder how many times the rifle went back to SA for repairs........

A guy on THR ran a group buy using this. He runs a shop, and he just discounted the 1911's, and sold the SOCOM.
