How do some of you choose between shopping online for big ticket items and patronizing the local boutique gun store when it comes to items like silencers? I priced out both places and I'll save +$200 bucks buying it online, including transfer fees and tax savings. That amount alone pays for the stamp, and the only downside is waiting for the form 3. (I'm in no hurry)

I'd like to support this shop and give them my business, but I'm not exactly swimming in dough (this silencer has been carefully budgeted for). I'd feel awkward asking them to price match, because as a small 500 sqft shop they can't compete with big shops like silencershop. Or should I ask anyways? If I go with silencershop, that LGS would not be the transfer location. Honestly, this shop's prices *are* a bit high, but I think they're just at what it takes to stay afloat, but with some rapey-prices on their ARs. Still, I'm not a charity.
