    Cheapest transfers in SF Bay Area?

    I'm planning my first online gun purchase and trying to find the cheapest (or should I say least over-priced) deal on a gun tranfer within an hour's drive of San Francisco. Both guns are from out of state, yet I've noticed that some dealers charge state sales tax and some don't. I've also heard about bad experiences buyers have had with dealers who seem to charge a low transfer fee. So before committing to one I wanted to get some suggestions from forum members. Are there any reliable dealers in the area who charge $40 or less for the transfer (not including DROS) and no sales tax for out of state purchases? I'll be buying 2 guns (a new pistol and a used rifle) at once, so discounts on multiple transfers would be good.

    At the top of this section is a FFL list and their fees. Start calling em and asking.
    Various 1911s.
    Some revolvers.
    Some rifles.
    Back to owning some of those "polymer" guns.

      I think RMB is somewhere in there on cost. Roger's Relics is ~$75 for handguns IIRC.

        The sales tax charge depend on whether the gun comes from a dealer or mfgr. FFL or a private individual. Sales tax is only charged if it comes from a dealer or mfgr.
