One point that probably needs to be made is that although Sercy said the price of his bolt action would drop about $400US if you supplied your own blank that would not necessarily mean his black is $400.

It is possible that his blank is better and would prefer to use what he has and he maybe offering a discount that is small as a disincentive to people supplying his own.

If it is a case that his blank is $400 one would also need to consider the way he buys and his $400 blank might be as good as what you or I could get for $800.
