I'm looking to buy a new FN SCAR 17s online and have my local California FFL handle the required transfer paperwork for the gun. What online gunshops have you found to offer the best deals and service? Unlike AR rifles unfortunately SCAR rifles are very difficult to find online for sale.
Best lowest price online sites to buy a SCAR 17s?

There's not going to be one place where they ALWAYS have the lowest prices. Best thing for you to do is sign up for aggregate website like slickguns or wikiarms so you get notified when there's a deal on the gun you're looking for. To complicate matters, you're in cali; not all dealers are willing ship non-neutered firearms to your state.

The biggest issue you will have is finding a dealer willing to deal with California. There is an out of state vendor on Calguns that has decent prices but I felt it was just easier to buy from Riflegear. The other problem with California transfers is taxes must be collected at the time of transfer on purchases so if you were going to save money on not paying taxes, you really can't..legally. I know California has major downsides for gun owners but the money I am able to make here leaves me with a lot of disposable income I can spend on toys.

Not to mention that you'll have to make that gun Cali compliant too. Some Cali gun shops will make sure the right parts are available and installed for you and that's what justified the higher price. I could be wrong but I don't think that FN makes a Cali ready SCAR.
Register on Calguns.net forum and look for/contact Audiophil2. Former CA resident, now AZ FFL. He may be able to save you hundreds... provided you have a savvy CA FFL dealer for the transfer. This is the ONLY answer you need.
FN does not. But Raddlock makes a CA compliant kit that takes anyone competent with hand tools a few minutes to install. Yes, the laws are asinine, unproven to reduce crime and an inconvenience, but the horrors of the restrictions are overblown. Yes, guns cost more in this state, but so does everything else including food, housing and gasoline. It's just a fact of life.
Just contact audiophil2 on calguns.

Grabagun has them in stock in FDE for just a hair over $2600 and they have fixed $6 shipping. I'm not sure if they will deal with Cali residents though. I just picked up a NIB FDE 17s for well under $2600 on Gunbroker last week so the better deals are definitely out there.
Grabagun deals with CA customers, as long as buyer has a CA FFL who will accept shipments from out of state and can install the compliance parts.

I highly recommend PrepperGunShop.com (where I bought mine). They have incredible customer service and they carry CA models.
