[QUOTE="POKE1911, post: 3024088, member: 24536"] I think there are pros and cons to both. Obviously a private transaction will be much more efficient and less time consuming. Less papers floating around with your personal information on it and not having to deal with the government is a plus. On the other hand, I like the piece of mind buying from a dealer gives you. Less likely it is stolen, paper trial if it is. If you buy it and it doesn't go bang a good dealer may help work with you or with the company on your behalf. So I wouldn't say I would put a premium either way. All things being equall I would probably buy from the LOCAL dealer. Sometimes even if it is a little more. I love going in my favorite LGS, looking at guns and bulshitting with the owner so to help him keep his passion going it's worth the extra to me. For private it needs to be a great deal or maybe helping someone out of a bind. [/QUOTE]
