Quoted: My local firearms shop is costing me more in transfer fees than I spend on gas. I did a search and found a web site that sells a get your own FFL type of kit. Anybody tried this approach before?

I looked into it. Just go to the ATF website (http://www.atf.gov/forms/) and order the paper work.
Truthfully, whenI looked over the paper work, it seemed like the ATF was actively discouraging the existence of "kitchen table" FFL dealers. It seemed that if you didn't have a store with store hours, then it would be next to impossible to get a FFL.
I read somewhere that the number of FFLs has decline from somewhere in the 200,000s to about 60,000s since the 1960. After looking at the paperwork, I can see why.
But still, if you can do it, then do it because shipping and transfer fees are definately costly.
