Sound crazy ?  Right ?   But it's true.

I have been shopping for a 10/22 for some time... I want one with walnut stock and a 20" barrel. but I couldn't find one. So I bought a wood stock with a 22" barrel off of Gun Broker out of Florida and had it sent to my FFL

Gun,tax, shipping.       $406.00

FFL trans fee.                 $40.00

Just nuts for a squirrel gun.
