10 years ago. Brass FMJ. I've bought it for as little as $120.00 per thousand.

I've seen the steel Russki stuff for .22 a round.

Sounds like you need to visit Illinois and go to some gun shows.

Illinois in in the mid-west and has major airports.

These days, gun show ammo tends to be overpriced. Tim bought his ammo 10
years ago.

To be honest, I think the internet is going to kill guns and mortar
ammo sales too. Guys who just want a box or two a year will still go
to Walmart or Bass Pro but if you shoot a lot and buy in bulk. The net
will kill them every time. That will be particularly true if you are
not shooting a commodity caliber that a B&M store can sell in some
volume.
Even 40 years ago, we were dealing with a regional distributor for our
shotgun shells because we were buying in volume. It was saving us
35-40% from the discount stores (like Kmart at the time) and way less
than any mom and pop gun store

Unless the out of state internet sellers are offering huge discounts,
it's not really financially worthwhile in Maryland to buy readily
available pistols on line because the local FFLs add about $75 for their
fee for filing the Maryland paperwork. Rifles, though, are handled by
the FFLs for $10. I buy through a local dealer who has a nice store and
who charges me fair prices for firearms. His distributors seem to have
access to about any new firearm that interests me.

Sure glad I don't live in MD. Sharpshooters charges me $25 for the first and $5 for each additional,
no extra charge for the state cops, and they don't collect any tax on the transfer.

But then again, look who they're dealing with in Southern MD!

Lou's Sporting Goods: http://www.coolshooting.net/?page_id=689

Transfer Fee is $75.00 or 10%, whichever is greater for ALL transferred firearms.

All transfers MUST be accompanied by a paid bill of sale

All transfers from private owners must have a very clear readable copy of the sellers drivers
license.

For Maryland residents, there is no transfer fee. However, there is an additional $15.00 fee for the
Maryland State Police NICS check for regulated firearms only, sold to MD residents, such as all
handguns and all assault rifles which are known as regulated firearms.

Don’t forget the 7 day waiting period (a full 7 days) which means you can pick up your regulated
firearm on the 8th. day.

Sales tax at 6% will be added to all firearm sales in the state of Maryland (NEW, USED & TRANSFERS,
NO EXCEPTIONS).

The FFL fees vary by FFL, and Lou's isn't the only one. There are quite
a few FFLs.

The one I use is less expensive than Lou's, and it isn't based on any
percentage.

And yes, Maryland is more particular about gun "transfers" than "Wild
West Virginia."

The waiting period can be up to seven days. With the last regulated
handgun I bought, the paperwork was faxed to the Staties on Monday and I
picked up the pistol on Thursday. There is no waiting period for long guns.

Nice try, Johnny.

Try at what?

I believe these were your words:

"Unless the out of state internet sellers are offering huge discounts,
it's not really financially worthwhile in Maryland to buy readily
available pistols on line because the local FFLs add about $75 for their
fee for filing the Maryland paperwork."

$75 is $75, regardless if it's charged by Lou's or 'the one you use which is less expensive' (than
the $75 you already said the locals charge).

Nice try, Harry.
