Paul, I have seen prices on Clyde website changing a few times (I have seen as high as $1369 and as low as $1279, which is the current price). I guess they adjust their prices according to supply and demand, which does make sense.
$50.00 for a transfer,did he kiss you first and use lots of lube ? that is outrageious ,your FFL is a dick for chargeing you that much . nice rifle ,your going to enjoy it for many trouble free years.
No he didn’t use any lube - it was painful… 
Unfortunately, the FFLs around here (Austin TX) all asked for same $50 transfer fee. He was asking $1579 for a 6520… HAHA So I’d imagine that he would sell a 6920 for close to $2k!
