I seldom see .30 Luger ammo in LGS. The gun is not rare, but obviously fewer people shoot it. Once I saw a few boxes in Worcester, but seller wanted $50 per box so I had to give up. 30 Mauser is more available at much cheaper price, due to many poor Mausers imported into U.S. were reworked by capable gunsmith like broomhandle closet, making the piece pure shooter. Probably in popular view, that's more "shootable" with some gunsmith effort. Gun volume also affects ammo supply. 30 caliber Luger made in 1920s is very available in the U.S., but fewer people shooting them, probably due to many .30 Lugers are semi-collectible in condition.
