| I have a relatively newbie question. I usually buy one item at a time, whether it be lowers, handguns etc. I just recently bought 2 Mega lower receivers that are being shipped to a local FFL. The FFL charges $25 for a transfer so I should expect to pay $50 for the transfer... Correct? $25 for each item? Thanks, I am almost embarrassed to ask this but as I said, I usually buy one thing at a time so I have no experience here. |
| My favorite FFL is a flat rate per visit. If I transfer one firearm it's $25. If I transfer 10 firearms it's $25. It's one eform online, he just has more lines in his logbook to update. One place charged $25 per firearm and if you get 10 lower receivers to build for presents that adds up to alot of extra cost. |

My FFL charges the following:
1 transfer: $25/transfer fee + $5 fee (goes to the State) for a Background check call. 2 transfers at one time: $25 each transfer = $50 + $5 fee for Background check call = $55 He waives the additional $5 fee. I assume if I transfered more than 2 at a time, I'd be charged one $5 fee. |
| Have one FFL I use who always charges me $25 for one or two guns, all coming from the same distributor. Last week I had an order of two guns that came in from one distributor and another order of one gun that came in from a second distributor, he charged me $35 for all three guns. On lowers you might be better off buying them local, might only be marked up $10 or so and less than the transfer fee of most FFL dealers. |
