I was just wondering what do dealers pay distributors for the following.
CZ75B
Bul Mak
FEG PA63
Are there any sites that would list dealer prices? Hope this is not too disrespectful.

I can't tell you specifics but on the average, dealers only make 30-50 on gun sales. This is what I have been told by a few dealers. You can always get an FFL and find out yourself.

Don't know about the CZ, but the PA 63 are still availble for around $99.00, I've seen the Mak's for around $119.00

Two experiences that I have had. I bought a Glock 27, I paid $469 for it. The dealer told me that they cost him $409. I am about to buy a Wilson Protector. It retails for $1,795 and almost every one sells them for full retail. I am buying mine for $1,569. Don't know what my dealer is paying for it but there is atlest a couple hundred dollar mark up in the Wilsons. Probably the Baers too.

A dealer recently told me that he makes an average of about 15%.

Just wanted to know. I explained to a ffl(pawnshop) that I was willing to pay extra so that they would make more than just transfer fees. They agreed, so now I'm waiting for the Talon T200.

It's like a Taurus P111 or KelTec P11.

The dealer I use charges 10% plus tax and shipping on special orders.
