- A local FFL holder has told me that his price was $250. He wanted
- something like $25 DROS (a peculiar California fee) + 15 shipping +
- 15% + 8.25% Ca. Sales tax to get one for me ...
- call it $290 * 1.15 * 1.0825 (yes, the sales tax got charged on the
- lot of it, including the DROS fee ) for a total of $361.
-
- Now arn't you glad you don't live in California?
-
- I didn't get one from him ...
