    The DROS is $37.19. Plus $10 per firearm for a PPT.

    For an incoming firearm transfer a shop can charge anything they want.

        CA law, business must honor its lowest advertised price.

          Around $100 seems to be the norm nowadays. Find yourself a good hole in the wall FFL to use. The little tiny shop I visit charges me $25, or $45 for first timers

            I've seen 100 and up over the years.
            Especially with things right now 100 doesnt seem that crazy I can only imagine the number of guns FFL are getting in with little to no info but still have to do all the legwork

              I contacted Addax and they sent their info to the seller so I won't be using the $100 FFL.

              I don't begrudge them for charging $100. However, if I had know they were charging $100 instead of $50 as stated on GB, I would've picked another shop during checkout.

              And when I called the shop, they said it hasn't been $50 since January. Either GB didn't update the info or shop didn't, which is unfortunate because once they have possession of the firearm, it's probably too late to discuss what was advertised vs what they're actually charging.

                Guns Direct quotes $100 per handgun, $100 for 1st Rifle, $50 per add'l LG up to 3.

                Right To Bear Arms LA quotes $60 for first FFL, $50 each add'l.

                  I just bought a rifle via GB and during checkout, my usual FFL (Addax Tactical) wasn't listed so I went with another shop. On GB, the fee for a rifle transfer was $50 for said shop.

                  Today, I called the shop I designated during checkout to make sure they'd be able to facilitate this transfer and was told it was $100, not $50, plus $42 for DROS.

                  I think most I've paid in the past was $65 and as far as I know, Addax still charges $65 (info on website might be outdated).

                  Is $100 the new norm? Seems high to me, but I haven't bought in a while, only sold a few in 2020.
                  100 was sort of the going rate in the Bay Area. I miss Fairfield Gun and Pawn
                  Everyone on Calguns keeps talking about TDS. I never knew we had so many fish keepers!

                  The TDS on my 10gallon tanks 110ppm
                  The TDS on my 29 gallon tank is 150ppm (due to substrate)

                    Same. Found out the hard way trying to do a transfer there and Matt told me they were closing.
