I buy from my my LGS just to "suppot" it. but being a repeat customer and on a first name basis has helped out a lot, especially during the "panic". they held back a couple SKS mags for me(40$ compared to the 90$ on GB/GA), some ammos(9mm HPR, pricey, but all I could find). about 3 weeks ago, I went in asking for a good bi-pod, sold me an equalizer 2, marked at 109$ for 70$ because he knew I wouldn't pay 100$.
but, I do get taken on guns a bt, usually ends up costing me about 20$ more than it would if I got it transferred to them from bud's. that 20$ pays for the service of them returning to the factory if I have any problems, the big box stores will explicitly not do that for, they specifically say "this gun cannot be brought back to the store, any problems contact manufacturer" so that's it, I don't buy all my guns from there, last thing I got was rossi 357mag 20" SS m92. it was 530$ OTD, which was a bit high, but they ordered it, and it was exactly what I specified.
they are good folks, and if I needed something, they would get it for me. if I needed to sell something in a pinch(I would never do that at a gun store) but they would be fair. there are gun stores around here full of blank holes that get NO business from me, even though they have nice ranges and even they are cheaper than my regs.
