I agree about buying local if you can but when you need a few pieces they can supply it with out any hassel.
I just had two 1&5/8, two 1inch, one 3/4, and four 1/2inch pieces sent and shipping was about fifty bux.
You will have less scrap if you get the 24'sticks though. I got ten sticks when I first started my project from R&R chassis in Louisville but he does not keep moly in stock, he orders as needed.
