I'm not sure if they give dealer discounts.  If so, talk to the dealer for a price list.  If not, you may be able to deal directly with FA and have them ship to your FFL.

Also, keep an eye on GunBroker.com for used guns.  I've had a lot of success on there.  http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=59539114  There's one.

They do offer dealer discounts.  Prices vary from MSRP per their catalog.  I don't believe an individual can order a firearm direct from FA, even if shipped to their FFL.

My FA dealer is Bill Buckman ... buckman@neto.com ... he will be glad to give you a quote.

My local dealer and trhe only one in the northeast is sky high on price.

GB and those in his locale seem to always quote great pricing on FA's - much better than Gunbroker/Gunsamerica, etc.. Seems to me going through one of the dealers in the deep south and even paying for shipping and a local transfer fee would save me $300-400 vs. my local dealer.

Only good prices around here seem to be on 454s that people buy and trade after 5 shots  ;D

Talk to your dealer.  One, support of your local dealer will insure he will still be there in the future and two your should save somewhere between $100 and $200 bucks as the dealer does get a discounted price.

Talk to your dealer and ask him if you PAY IN ADVANCE and PAY IN FULL if he will sell you the gun for $100 over invoice. Buying a Freedom Arms is no more paperwork than is buying a Ruger. If no money is out of his pocket...he should do it.

I can tell you that my dealer was very pleasantly surprised in his dealings with the folks out in Freedom, WY.  He said they were very helpful and easier to order from tham a good many of his other suppliers or manufacturers.  He mentioned several Manufacturers by name, but as I am not sure I can quote him I will leave it at that.
