I have always used Fletcher Arms in Waukesha (including NFA stuff) but am hoping to find a ffl that is a little more competitively price.

One that is reasonably fast at locating firearms I want or at least reasonably fast at handling transfers from online stores I order from.

To be clear, Fletcher wasn't slow for me just expensive.

Good question. It looks like everyone has raised their prices since the last time I got something transferred.

WI Tactical used to be cheaper but the employees were kind of retarded. $40 now.

My other option would have been Select Fire Weaponry but they want $40 as well now.

The guys at MI are really cool but they aren't in the business of transfers and price the service accordingly.

Do we have any other options in town?

Too bad you aren't closer to Northshore/Northwest, would send you to my guy.  Cheap. Class III and all that jazz too.  So, I can't make any personal recommendations, but FWIW...

Forum list from a few years ago, may jog some memories (likely out of date).

Another list from outside Arfcom.  Appears to include a few more names.  If you click on the hyperlinks, it gives fees where available.  Not sure how up to date.

I was reminded tonight about this guy:

Integrity Arms LLC
N89 W15963 Main St
Menomonee Falls, WI 53051
Phone: 414-801-6178

Been a few years since I used him, Ernie IIRC.  He was willing to travel to meet me, within reason.  I believe the address is just an Ace Hardware that is by appointment anyways.  Otherwise he does the Bob and Rocco gun shows and gets around.  Got a few guns from him at good prices when Obama was re-elected and things were disappearing fast.

Might be worth a call.  Nice guy, accommodating.

Is this guy older, like maybe 60ish now?

I bought a 92fs back in the late 90's at one of those gun shows and after the waiting period had to pick it up over on Main st.

If I had to guess (been a while since I saw him) I would put him closer to the 50ish mark.  As I recall, he wasn't just being nice meeting me, I believe he does some running around the MKE area doing deliveries after the gun shows when there was the waiting period.  I seem to recall he was rarely ever at the Main Street address, except by appointment.

I use Tycor Defense in Milwaukee. I've always had a great experience there. They also have a punch card for transfers. I think it's buy 5 transfers and get your 6th free.

That's who I use too.  Marty and Val (Tycor) are great.  They do it all.  Marty can often beat pricing of the online vendors.  Just ordered a new gun from Bud's.  He said it was about $30 below his cost, so cheaper even adding in the transfer.  But on the other hand, got a Sig from him that was $580 from him when the cheapest online shipped was $680, before transfer fees.  He believes in charging a set amount over cost, not what the market will bear.  So even when things are going for way more than normal selling price on gunbroker, online stores or elsewhere he still charges the same amount over his cost.

And he is closer for me, so I stopped going to Ernie.  If you are willing to make the trip, Tycor is great. Very stand up people. If I had one complaint, they could communicate a bit better.  Not a huge issue, everything always works out, just have to follow up sometimes.  They make their money on volume.

ETA: And don't rely on his website for what he has on hand, he never updates it.  Just contact him.  He doesn't have a huge stock on hand and it is always changing.  If he doesn't have it he can tell you when he will (usually in short order) and how much.
