[1911Operator]

Im looking at getting a sub 2000, so i know im going to at least need the following:

Bullet button: $40
Transfer: $35
Shipping: $30ish

and what other fees should i get ready to pay for? Im going to ballpark the gun at roughly $500.

Don't forget sales tax if it's a new gun.

$35 transfer fee for a non-PPT?

That's really good for a non-PPT.

Since, legally the FFL dealer can charge any amount to do a non-PPT.

Cheapest I've done is $60. Been quoted from $60-$250 by various CA FFL dealers in SoCal.

Let me clarify...

If it's out of their inventory or a PPT, total transfer fee should be $35. Because this amount is set/limited by CA laws.

If it's shipped to them, then you can be charged any amount. Usually it's in the $50-250 range. This is because the amount is not set/limited by CA laws.

In addition, any firearm purchased out-of-state is subject to a "use tax". Which the CA FFL dealer will collect, if they don't then you have to pay it when you do your state income tax.

In my experience, one of your local gun stores can most likely get it for you cheaper than you could after fees from gunbroker. Call around first, then head to online distributors
