I read so many problems about the S&W rebates that I have to brag about this. On Nov. 6th I bought a Bushmaster AR15 which had a $150 rebate. Sent in the required paperwork and received my rebate Dec. 16th. When I bought my Shield a year ago there was no rebate but I got it at a good black Friday price and a $50 store credit. btw/ I got a rebate on that .223 ammo also.
