As the title suggests, looking for recommendations for a transfer shop. I buy a few guns a year, typically old collectible stuff, so like to find someone who's used to handling C&R/Gunbroker transfers and doesn't charge an insane amount. Live near Oak Park Mall, though happy to drive a little ways for the right place. Any pointers greatly appreciated!

Have you looked into getting a C&R license? 30 bucks for 3 years

Had one before and might get one again - but always good to have a good transfer guy nearby in any case.

From oak park mall area I would check the following

Mission pawn

GT distributors

Olathe gun shop

Penguin pawn

I know Harrison street pawn in hillsdale is at $25 for a transfer but might be a hike from the mall.

The bullet hole shooting range is north from you but I don’t remember them being cheap on transfers.

Center fire shooting range in olathe does transfers

The guys at Olathe Gun Shop are professionals.

Just make the trip to Harrison Street Pawn and Gun. Not really a pawn shop anymore. Husband and wife. They have their shit together. Good people.


Centerfire in Olathe doesn’t even check on approvals if you’re delayed. They just wait the full 7 days or whatever. They suck for transfers. Great place to rent/shoot gums though.

Don't forget Simmons Gun repair, just north of Olathe Gun Shop

I am sure any FFL could do a transfer but I didn’t know they offered the service.

You know what they charge?

Welcome to the area.

JOCO, KS folk drive like psychopaths, but once you figure that out its a nice area. Lol

Must visits;

Scheels - Way better than Bass Pro/Cabelas
GT Distributors - very cheap police trade ins, general cop shop, glock/ar15 parts, sells federal hst in 50 round boxes and federal flight control buckshot.
Penguin Pawn - sleeper of a shop if you dont know about it. Good supply of reloading stuff.
Bushnell Outlet - not just optics, kind of a Vista Outdoors joint overstock store, but there are lots of discounted optics/etc

I am probably forgetting some stuff.

If you like shooting long range, and need a place to do that, you can shoot me a direct message about that.

Harrison Street Pawn is now up to $25 for transfers. Centerfire is $30. I used to be able to justify the cheap price for transfer against the time involved in running down to Hillsdale, plus the bonus of picking up K&M BBQ in Springhill on the way back home. Now it doesn't seem worth it to not use Centerfire.
