My Wildcat should be here tomorrow. I don't recall the $ of the Huggett, but I'll let you know when I see the receipt. I asked AoA the same thing about the Huggett, and they told me that they don't like shipping them off of the rifle. AoA said that they are of course legal (for air guns), but if it's not attached to an air gun it could be pinched by some over zealous fed, and nobody wants that to happen. I guess it's cheap insurance for them.
