jim..,
Interesting. I have a 9.3 and an '06, my pard has a .270 and a .458 ......no plastic anywhere. Nor on the several I've seen offered for sale. Maybe it's a recent thing. Brownells probably has metal followers, expect any mauser follower will work.
Most credit card companies charge 2% and if a dealer is getting down to low figures he takes that into account. Pretty much a common practice at any place that dickers on price ... not just gun dealers.
