Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles ATF rule change ?

If any FFL dealer charges over $35, they are just screwing over the customer, and their way at getting back for not being able to match a price or product found by the buyer.

The real bastards try to charge state sales tax of the value of the gun. I know a few local shops that say that. And, I guarantee they will never see my footprint on their carpet. Unless, maybe it's a day when I was out in the mud, cleaning up the winter's supply of 2 dog's droppings.

Some gun shops charge $100 for transfers, or more for pistols (even though there is no more work involved.)

$25 is far, and about maximum it should be. Shouldn't be too hard to find one for $15-$20.

Have a FFL dealer send you proof that the gun has to be shipped from another FFL. Don't wait too long at your computer for the email, you won't see it. It's usually dealers on the left coast and the east states that get stupid. If they say that, I tell the buyer it is an additional $45 out of their pocket. I can usually get the outgoing for $20 as well, but the dealer always charges extra for shipping than what a UPS account price would get.

I'll never go back

My somewhat local does the same. He told me it's the easiest $10 he makes all day. I always make it a point to buy something else if I'm there picking up a gun, as well as buying some guns from him over the years.

Mine charges me $20 for the transfer coming in. But if I want to ship one out, he doesn't charge me to put it in the book. I can live with that. Apparently he's up the charge as I introduced him to a guy at the last gun show as the guy who receives guns for me, and he quoted that guy $25. Guess I'm getting the volume discount.

Bullshit. Only shop that YOU know:

They're full of chit....

Possibly as a community service you could post the business that helped you with this $95 transaction.

I pay around $35 now, $25 to the gun shop and $10 to the state. CO in their wisdom runs the same NICS checks the Feds do expecting a different result.

The only changes that have been made were to the form 4473 and the way the questions were worded. That change happened a few months ago, my FFL told me. Transfer fees are not BATFE policy. I'm very fortunate in that I don't pay anything for transfers.

Jackie tree horn I have been to every gunshot inmy area none will accept from an individual.

Sure you have. Pull your head out of your ass and look at those links. There are beaucoup home-based FFL holders in your area and in everyone's areas who accept firearms from non-licensees.

15.00 here

It's not uncommon for a dealer to refuse to accept shipments from individuals; just a business choice. My primary dealer requires you to fill out an online form for all transfers, then either accepts the shipper or not, due to problems he's had in the past. He's a reasonable guy and I accept his judgement and experience. He charges $25 for receiving and $35 for person to person transfers in-store.

Lately I've been using the tiny shop located in a nearby shooting range because it's very near. He charges $25 for both types of transfers. $95 is simply ridiculous, clearly just a ploy to get customers to buy from the shop.

why bother... go else where and you can laugh when that guy goes out of business...

This!

Some dealers just really dont want to do it
I gauge that by the price when the stocking dealer charges 50.00 its kind of a sign
One thing I believe you cant tell a man how to run his business
