Midwayusa discounts C&R holders quite a a bit. I would estimate if you buy $300 of stuff from them, the discounts will easily exceed the cost of your FFL.
FFLs other than C&R are pricey to have, just to have. I'm thinking we paid about $200 plus finger printing, etc. As as far as discounts go, they are not that big, especially when supplies are tight.

You paid about 170 too much
