    $300 for a AR Style Rifle FFL - FFL Transfer

    I called my local shop the other day ask about an FFL to FFL transfer of a Stag 2T and they said the transfer was $300!!! I was speechless.

    I understand having higher trasnfer prices because they want you to buy at their store. But you can't find ARs without getting creative and ordering them from other sources. I feel that IF they don't have it and you want them to do the transfer they should be accomodating.

    Truth is, I didn't do the transfer through them because the fees were crazy and they DID loose real business because I was going to get a bunch of ammo/accessories. Definitely frustrating!

    Thoughts?

    Local to where? That is kind of a crazy price. But they can charge what they want for a dealer transfer. Name of shop? Doesn't make much sense of a post without it.

        You want to use my shop? You have to pay the piper. That $300 was with my Calguns discount too. I remember who you are so when you come back (and we know you will), you lose your Calguns discount and it goes back up to the regular price of $500 per AR15.

                        This thread cracks me up. Definitely wakes me up on a Monday morning better than coffee.
