So, when he lists that 4513TSW pre rail, I can just saunter on in?

Of course, I have to wonder how much of that is just the fact that you and I aren't buying much these days since our collections are pretty full, already including many duplicates? Sometimes, I think we create our own micro-markets by buying a bit too aggressively.

I think it's also the fact that folks in MA are getting more comfortable with buying from on-line sources as witnessed by the number of shops promoting their low incoming transfer fees.

And let's face it: Asking prices are up. Bargains are rare. Even I would be buying more if prices would moderate... but it hasn't happened yet that I can tell.
It does seem that some shops are getting a bit more comfortable with some hand gun transfers. OTOH, I stopped into a newish shop near me and the owner gave me an "It depends" on whether or not he'd do a 3913 transfer IN state.

I also found out that my niece is working at a new FFL in the general area. I've got to text her to find out when she's working so that I can go out, look at the shop, and meet the owner. I'll feel a bit more comfortable (as he likely will) discussing that.
