Have you tried Wall mart? I know that is what my local smith does when someone orders a custom 700 build. They find the cheapest 700 on sale and part it out. You may be able to sell the barrel and stock to offset the cost.

Check all of your local pawn shops and gun store used racks, never know what you find. That's how I got my 870 wingmaster cheap, then I gutted it and rebuilt it into police style.

I got one for $359 dlr price when they were first made available in April. They are now out of stock and discontinued. Makes me wish I had bought 2 at $359.

Exactly! I've got one located with old style trigger and very ugly paint at a pawn shop for $318 out the door. Haven't bought it yet because I've bought other pawn shop actions(rifles).
PAWN SHOPS! - call them all in your AO. Make them an offer. You'll be surprised.

It's already been said but brownell's is where I bought mine from. Or just find one at a pawn shop.

I fell into a couple of Youth ADL's a couple years ago for $247.10 + tax a couple years ago.
Sure haven't seen any deals like that lately though.
