    Priority Over-Night through USPS is only $12 for 1 pound or less but he says: quote:please allow 7-10 days for delivery from receipt of payment Even if I needed one, I'd be way out on that ... not to mention I've seen at least one company has authentic re-pros for $12.50 complete with inspector stamp, or non-stamped for $5.85 ... this one isn't even authentic

    Kimber- "authentic repros" ???? Is this not a contradiction in terms?

    This wouldn't be one of those individuals who try to make their profits on small items from the S&H charges, would it?

    Iconoclast - yeah, it is ... but I couldn't come up with the words that actually fit what I was trying to say ... how about "Accurate Repro" or "Exact Repro"?

    The ads that always get me is:

    "GENUINE SYNTHETIC WOODGRAIN FINISH"

    lets try this ive seen handguns for 25 shipping and for 15 shipping
    dont you think that they make even more on your purchase
    they just call it shipping it doesnt take 25 to ship a handgun
    anyway mostly all of the guns ive seen on any auction i can get from my dealer cheaper and not pay shipping and then a transfer

    The last time I shipped a handgun it was about $28 plus insurance ... I think dealers get a break somehow plus they can ship handguns by USPS. Individuals shipping handguns have to ship next day delivery by FexEx or UPS ... long guns can be shipped by USPS but their rates are going up too ... they are starting to charge by weight and zone just like commercial carriers.
