FFL transfer fees

[sirdonas]

Anybody know of an FFL that will do a transfer gun for less than an arm and a leg?

I like the dealer I use now, but they're a little pricey and when its only a $70 firearm, I end up paying more for shipping and transfer fees than I did for the firearm.

There is a list of FFLs somewhere on the site. Most are around $20. Try 'Chewy' or 'Dirtwheeler'.

They definitely are hit or miss. There's a few in town here that are reasonable --25$ for a transfer and as high as 40$. I tried to have one gun store do a FFL transfer, I had sold a handgun over the internet (gunbroker) the guy wanted 70$ for the transfer and then 60$ for overnight shipping and to cost him driving to the local ups outlet.

Ken Kubin in Farmington Hills - He's either $15 or $20 for the transfer and the last time I asked him about shipping a handgun out, he wanted $40.

Ken has done several for me over the last year for $15 apiece

Shipping should only be around 15-20 if you can have the dealer use the USPS. UPS is way to high on there fees.

I found this guy on the gunbroker.com list. He charges $20 per firearm. He is located in Ecorse. It was about a month ago and the transfer was quick and easy.

awesome! thanks everybody again for all your help. I've paid $40 a couple times for transfers in, and its just getting really pricey.

My FFL charges $20 up to 5 items on the same transfer form (must arrive in 7-day period). You may ask your FFL how he handles multiple transfers on the same form. You may save a lot of money if you can consolidate your purchases.
