1911A1 quality?? My NP30 .45 is built like a tank and I've fired well over a thousand rounds without ONE stoppage, God knows what the first owner had through it. I find it to be very rugged and well-made with no issues of any kind :)

What competition .
They are all coming from North Sylva & all dealers are charging the same price.
Seems like the firearms industry is taking lessons from the oil companies .

No, if they were taking a lesson from the oil companies, they would be $2000 per rifle, and prepayment would be required in full.

Bottom line is dealers probably aren't making much more than $150/rifle, which is tiny for the retail industry.

I ordered one, but I cannot believe that they aren't making more than 150, I'm not trying to start a pi**ing match I just want to know why you think so?

I think its more because I'm in the construction industry and I am smugly surprised at how average buyers drink the koolaid that retailers are not making a huge profit and value blah import fees because they really don't know, and are so easily convinced when told a bunch of bs by the retailer.

With that said id say your guess is probably pretty close but maybe on the low side

My post was about competition not profit margins
So where is the competition if one supplier & all retailers are the same price ?
 
I guess it depends on what is being sold... some retail sports equipment have a cost from the manufacturer/distributor of 10-30% of MSRP. The rest pays for hard and soft costs to run the business and make a profit. I have no idea where it is for firearm dealers. I know that most take trades at 50-60% retail for their used guns...
 
Might as well argue about pricing for a light saber, are these "embarrassments" to the RCMP ever going to show up; or held up in paperwork till the light saber actually becomes real.
 
$700 for a Norc Ar-15, so $1000 for a 97 could be priced a little high for a fixed carry handle firearms(no Optics worth a dam)

Not the dealers fault at all, Frontier is top notch.
