    Not that this subject hasn't been beaten to death, but I have never been able to save money by buying locally. Many online retailers will ship for free or for less than $10, no sales tax, and transfer fees at Bollingers are $15 for long guns and $35 for pistols.

    I will say that Jlowes committed to matching any online, out the door price. I may consider this next time, however he is about a 90 minute drive from me.

    In all fairness, if you do buy from John Lowe, remember you may be paying tolls. This must also be taken into consideration. For me, I pay the tolls and it still works for me. Yes, you can take Route 1 and avoid the tolls over the Susquehanna River if that would a factor.

    Blue Fin is doing the transfer for 45.00 plus the 10 State fee. The free shipping was the deciding factor. Everyone else locally was at least 25 more +tax.

    I did look around locally but either the shop couldn't get or it was much more expensive. I try to shop locally whenever financially feasible and sensible.

    You can try kygunco. Their price is good with free shipping. And they are willing to ship mags separately to out of state address. Just need to pay $11 more for the extra shipping.
