Quoted: Shooter's Den on Aloma charges $35.00 as well. East Orange Gun Range on Forsyth used to be the same, not sure now. |
^^ East Orange Shooting Sports is $42 after all is said and done ($35 + $5 NICS + ?). Pros: Store hours; they will email a .PDF FFL if the other will accept (I hope I didn't confuse that with Shooter's Den - might call to double check) Cons: Price
I went with Orlando Gun Vault - www.orlandogunvault.com $25 Right off Aloma/Forsyth. Cons: Non-"store hours "; US Mail only (combined contribute to a potentially slow delivery) Pros: Price; He's a good guy to deal with |
I'm not familiar with Orlando Gun Vault, how does he operate? Do they have a storefront?
And you are right, a $35 transfer fee will have $5 addition for the FDLE background check service and tax so the total is $42 and change. |
Let me preface this by saying I'm a complete newb, and this was my first out of state purchase.
Anyways, Gun Vault operates out of a storage unit/warehouse of sorts. No storefront, however inside he has glass counters and a big sign, like maybe he plans on making it a shop. There was one other guy there also picking up his order.
I started here:
gunbroker.com/User/DealerNetwork.asp (thanks to my seller for the info)
I wanted to see if I could beat the EOSS price, and there were a number of cheaper guy's listed that were also close to me.
One thing that surprised me was that out of 7 or so FFLs I called, no one would fax (except Shooter's Den - but they require to receive the FFL first, so if the other FFL has the same policy than you're deadlocked).
Maybe I'm just impatient, but after paying a significant amount of $ for a rifle, I was hoping for the fastest, most secure process possible. All reason's for faxing were the same - blurry numbers. Totally understandable, but I don't understand why:
A. You can't write clearly and legibly
B. Enlarge the fax before sending
EOSS was willing to email the FFL, which I thought was great, but the seller's FFL didn't know how to operate the "email machine".
heGun Vault was a good experience, as long as you don't mind waiting on the snail mail. Also make sure the address on the seller's website is an actual mailing address
