If I saw a 311 offered for $1000. I would first think the seller probably didn't know much about guns and had paid $1100. for it two or three years ago and needs to sell or he is fishing for someone like the aforementioned soul or I should reread the description to see if Hemingway used it as a canoe paddle on a safari somewhere? Perhaps there are specially made guns worth $1000.00, but I would say generally, if you can get a Spartan for less, buy the Spartan! I am not bashing 311s either!
