No, for around $40 I believe that's their "small" size.

Indeed the use tax is something new within the last couple years, making it no cheaper to "import" guns in to the state. The super suck of it all is it makes it more expensive to get less well known guns. Some shops will order you dang near anything, but by doing so it's usually not as good of a deal as if it were a regularly stocked item.

It is not new within the last couple years. It has been in place for the past EIGHTY years. They've just become strict about enforcement recently.

That's not only the case for guns, but just about anything else you buy from a store. Special Orders usually do cost more.
