For anyone still interested, Cabela's has the 5946 on sale again for $599.99 through March 8th. According to the reviews, these are NOS and come with night sights and 3 mags.
Does anyone know if individual Cabelas stores will ship firearms to an FFL in another state? I'd like to purchase one of these NOS 5946 pistols but there aren't any stores in Florida. Their website only allows a "ship to store" option
Yes, Cabela's will ship a gun to a FFL in another state. I did it a few years back (I picked out a handgun at a Cabela's in Michigan and had them send it to my dealer in Ohio). IIRC, the charge was a flat $25 for them to ship it. They were, however, pretty slow about doing it. I think it was about a week or a little over before they sent it out (maybe they ship in batches?)

I'm glad I found this thread. I was all set to make the drive to pick up a NOS Houlton 5946 from Cabela's, but finding out that the Houlton 5946s have a reputation for being problematic has caused me to slow my roll. Darn.

are the Houlton marked pistols the only one's your Cabela's have???...in Illinois, they had one's marked Springfield, MA...perhpas they could send your Cabela's or FFL one of those... (provided they still have any in Hoffman Estates, Il)...
