Best pricing for M700 receivers?

[tobnpr]

I've been buying M700 receivers from Bud's because they have better pricing than even distributors with "dealer" pricing that I've found.

Is there another vendor for licensees that sells for less, without requiring quantity purchases?

Just had my dealer order a 700 short action single shot receiver from their distributor. I'm trading some threading work for it.

Anyhow, asked him what his pricing was and was told it was $4 higher than the link I sent him for Bud's.

Thanks, looks like that's the wtg; just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
Guess Bud's has the buying volume, more so than any other distributor.

I get mine direct from Remington.

My guess is "no".

As a guy who is busily setting up his online business, there are very few products that I can buy at "dealer" pricing that isn't already online at "dealer" pricing.

Tried to get set up with a well known picatinny rail supplier, and found I could buy them on AMAZON for $2 more than I could buy them in bulk from them.

Welcome to the world of small business! The only reason to have a FFL is to stay legal and to be able to order certain FFL required items from wholesalers/manufacturers (actions, basically). Items that don't require a FFL are ready offered at 'dealer' pricing , or very near it, to the general public. Very few of the desirable non-FFL items allow a FFL holder any mark-up.

There is money to be made but not in retail. The world is truly set up for big corporations.

Be aware that you cannot own an FFL just for personal
use. You must be actively engaged in buying/selling/or transferring firearms. You can ask an agent and you will
not get a required number per yr to qualify for a lic renewal.
