Buying a can from a normal dealer?
Thanks for all the responses so far, I had no idea about the increased cost. The alternative is that I just wait for SS/CA to get the cans I want in stock so may be shorter in the long run.

NFA stuff isn't a short term money maker, obviously the money is in transferable machine guns but you have to hold them for awhile to make any real money, there isn't such a thing as a dealer price. What I pay for a transferable is what everyone else pays.
SBRs can stand a little markup, but not a lot. People already cry about the $200 NFA tax, if you even attempt to sell at or near MSRP people will just opt for a Title I firearm which never sell for MSRP unless it's during a full on panic buy.
Anyone who has ever tried to sell their used suppressor knows how limited that market is, factor in TWO Form 4 transfers and you can't even give them away.
On that note, what does have to happen for an individual to sell a can? I love my KAC QDC but don’t like the idea of multiple mounting systems and the non avail of QDCs plus the insane demand for them is making me consider dumping my one QDC and switching every AR to another mount for moar quiet pews.
