It's a nice gesture on their part....but I don't use the program either because they can be found cheaper.

When I want another M14 type, I buy a used Chinese Norinco/Polytech. Way better deal, forged receiver, chrome-lined barrel. $900 or less
If you want a HK clone, Zenith is offering 20% off for LE, factory-direct. I think it's 20% off MSRP, and don't know how it compares to FFL/distributor pricing. Obviously it wouldn't be yours to keep, but if you could get your agency to obtain a USGI M14 for work through 1033, that's a sweet deal. As soon as ours come in, one's going full-EBR mode.  I already bought the Sage stock, Smith parts, and XS sight. Whenever we part ways, they'll sadly be taken off the 'MERICA and placed on the China. lol |

It's awesome they offer the discount don't get me wrong. But compared to what it used to be a few years ago and then add that you can buy the same thing cheaper from a retailer I just wonder why their reps talk up the LEO discount like its an amazing deal.

All the more reason to get them now. Ours are coming from another agency that's had them in their vault a while.

I purchased an MC operator from them and my dealer said I got a better deal then he could get at cost.

You're complaining about a discount? This. Drives me insane. They're not obligated to provide a discount in the first place. OP, are you the guy that goes to restaurants asking for leo discounts on a $6 meal? |

OP, are you the guy that goes to restaurants asking for leo discounts on a $6 meal? Kind of this. I don't think OP is saying that they're obligated. Springfield probably knows that not many depts. are going to be forking over big bucks for single action guns. So unlike Glock, they don't stand to make as much per gun with each discounted 1911 sale. I'm just starting but I don't accept discounts in general. Dry cleaners insist on doing my clothes for free, I pay it forward for the next guy. Same at restaurants, or a waitress gets a fat tip. Hell I even bought a red label Glock.

no, I'm not the guy that asks for discounts, and if at a meal place and they give me one the waiter gets a fat tip whether they deserve it or not. I'm just expressing my opinion on what was once an awesome discount only a few years ago and its not anymore.
