Buying online?

[USMC VET]

I'm looking to buy a CZ 2075 Rami 9mm from Bud's and have never done so online. I understand that you have to find an FFL willing to accept the transfer. What are reasonable fees to pay for this? It seems like the prices online are for the most part cheaper, why is this?

Thanks in advance!

It's sad if your local dealer won't at least match Buds price or come very close. Buds does a high volume which is going to reduce his cost compared to a local store front. I'm more then willing to give the local guy the business if they will just come close to what I find online

I wanted to give the business to my local Bass Pro ...but they were very limited to the handguns they could get.....especially when it came to Springfield.....

When I had a gun shipped to Guns and Attitude from Impact Guns (oh yes RANT on)

It Cost....

$100 to cover DROS and "fees"
Applicable sales tax (on a $700) gun...

Now,

I have a deputy friend who is an FFL and he charges me 75 straight up.

Depends on the dealer your getting it from.

Buds is awesome and has EXCELLENT customer service!

many dealers hate Bud's (and its distributor) because Bud's has a hook up with a distributor that will let Bud's drop-ship fireams directly from the distributor. By doing it that way, Bud's can do lots of volume without having to actually stock the firearm (the distributor's warehouse is Bud's inventory) and doesn't have to pay to have the firearm shipped to Bud's, logged in and out of Bud's bound book, and then shipped to the buyer.

Have you tried gungenie? Probably can't beat it price wise (it compares for you) and you see what the additional fees will be.

Gungenie prices suck. Pick up a phone and call your local dealer. They will usually beat the Gungenie local shop prices.

One of the shops I called said they'd charge $100. That brought the total price way over. Another guy said 60 so I may go that route

Buy local and save more than just money.

Buds guns worked for me just got a beretta 92fs for 579 thats with my dros fees 20.00 .

I would always try to give a local dealer the business first however most local gun shops just don't have a very good selection and a lot of them are just not very pleasant to do business with. If your in the IE try High Impact Tactical in upland their fee is 68.50 including dros and their ffl is already on file with Buds.

Dang, I know that place haha should have called.

Ammo Bros: $75

I'm going to buy in person next time but man..$397 for my handgun is a great deal, had to get it! Two shops have it for $540 or so. People are making me feel guilty for that haha

I tried to do the same thing. But after the transfer fee cost it was more expensive to get it online so I just bought local.

That's nothing new. People have been doing that for years. Buds isn't even the only one doing that.

In fact every "store" on Gallery of Guns is doing the same thing. This is a feature that Davidson's; one of the largest wholesaler of guns, has set up for dealers that buy from them.
