Found a seller who offers several varieties of old military rifles and ammo at attractive prices. Was planning an order and a trip to pickup my purchases as the cost of driving to their location would not be more than the shipping costs. Turns out that they ship ONLY-- no pick up at their location. They do have one fellow near them that they allow to pick up and customers can then pick up from that fellow's business. Turns out that his fees eat up all the anticipated savings and it would be just as well to let the UPS bring it to me or my local FFL, as the case may be. Shooting is not low cost anymore. Additional links in the distribution chain do not result in lower costs.
I guess that I really am older than dirt. I can remember when the country store near me had a catalog from one of this suppliers with a good variety of firearms, including handguns. If you were 21 or older, just order what you what and pick it up at the store about week later. No hassle.
