I used to drive down to Federal Way Discount Guns when price was my only objective. Now that I live in Arlington and no longer work in South Seattle, that’s not a realistic option.
I went through two kitchen table FFL’s that gave good deals, but they both eventually got out of the business.
Now, I shop around up north. I’ve bought from Northpoint, Skagit Arms, and Cabela’s.
Cabela’s isn’t bad if you shop the sales and take into account Cabela’s bucks. You can also negotiate on gun library prices, and they usually come down some.
If they admitted how much they took in they would have to tell and justify how they spent the money.
Kind of sad that Kesselrings closed down.
My particular handgun was on sale and was very good price at Cabela’s. So you are right, gotta watch prices and negotiate for some free ammo.
