Importer stamps (what you're looking at) don't matter...Richmond Arms, CAI, etc...

Street price online now is $129, at multiple dealer sites. Add about $20/rifle for shipping (less for multiples combining shipping), and at $150 I'd say it's far from a "deal" at $193, even if it includes FFL transfers if you don't have a C&R.

There was another thread recently on this, and they (the sellers) seem to think the crate has value, while I think they'd have to pay ME to take it away...

Laws of economics would generally indicate that volume purchases deserve a discount, not a price PREMIUM...

I'd call someone like J&G or AIM, negotiate a quantity buy including shipping, and also negotiate a deal for all the transfers with a local FFL. I'm sure you can do better than the "deal" you're looking at.
