Thanks to all for the responses.

As a result, I find I have other options than my local gun shop.
Never considered using my local shop as a delivery station and
ordering directly from other sources. Will find out what they charge
to take delivery.

Suggestions for purchase thru Neals/Champion's etc. and payment via
credit card. If I am not happy with the quality, I can stop payment,
and send it back.

It's a plan and thanks again,

P.S. I wonder if I could go to Neals/Champion's and buy it there? Can
you buy firearms without being a resident of that state?
