Big 5 is 1 buck. Out there stores that charge more.

[JamesCC]

Is it a take on the law that is up for interpretation? Is that why?

[Preston-CLB]

I buy ammo at Big-5 and two LGS. I have only paid the $1 extortion per transaction. Never by the box.

It is one $1. I have had some stores that don't even bother to charge it. I don't know if they just forgot to add it or waived it for buying a lot of ammo.

[SkyHawk]

Any store charging $1/box for background check has no idea what they are doing

I haven’t bought a lot of ammo lately because I stocked up but I have bought some .22 from Basspro and Sportsman. Both places charge a dollar per transaction.
