Billt, I did not look but I'm pretty sure that because of being limited editions most "Commemorative" models are eligible.

I think you're right. This would include all of those gaudy, gold plated, engraved 1911's commemorating everything from Mr. Cleans Birthday, to the Elvis fried Peanut Butter Sandwich Edition, you see being sold every month in those full page ads in a lot of the gun rags.  Bill T.

Hey, at least you save the $30 transfer fee, (although you'd still be ashamed to take them to the range). I don't understand why people buy those things. My grandad got me a Bank of Boulder special. It was a Weatherby Mark V with a burled walnut Montecarlo stock with a high gloss finish done up with a gold trigger. It shot ok, but honestly, I felt like I'd escaped from a French whorehouse everytime I brought the thing out. It got traded for a Ruger M77 with a plain walnut straight stock and I have never regretted it. Maybe its just me, but I hate flash on guns. I think plain lines and good craftsmanship are beautiful. You can keep the engraved wood nymphs and gold plate. I'd rather have case colors and either a deep blue or parkerized finish.

I kind of agree with FQ as to preference for clean DEPENDABLE firearms with nice lines, but OTOH if some one gave me a Thompson I would not care if it commemorated Baby's first solid turd

As I said on that thread, yeah, you can. Free/cheap is nice. Well made and reliable is better. I don't care if its Shiner Bock vs Miller's answer to Zima or a gold plated travesty versus a plain jane Ruger/Glock/1911 (or insert your brand here). You get what what you pay for. The same applies to free and cheap. I've been there and done that, and honestly, I'd rather pay for what I want than get a POS for free.
FQ13 who is sadder, older and wiser and knows that there is no such thing as free in this world. One way or another, you pay. Better it be on the thing you really want.

Ask TAB, Free is better when talking guns
