    Good FFLs For PPTs Near Vallejo/Benicia Area?

    Moved up here for school last year. I've used Triple A in Vallejo for purchases, but they don't do transfers. I am getting a C&R handgun from someone out of state. Any FFLs near here that are good to deal with and ideally have good transfer fees as well?

      Do they deliver on undetermined?

      Is $100 typical for transfer fees these days? Seems really steep. That's over 30% on top of what I paid for the gun.

        $100 is the average-going rate. Glaser Arms in Brentwood is $50 but you have to figure two round trips to them so the extra gas would not make it less expensive.

        29 Outdoor Gear is a good shop.

          I ended up using them, although they only accepted from the individual because it is C&R. Glaser does not accept from individuals at all, as it turns out, on top of those extra expenses. The guy sending it tried to get an FFL to send it, but the FFL, after charging the fee, refused to ship because it isn't on the roster even though it's roster-exempt. He kept the fee for "doing the research." The whole thing has been a PITA, far more so than it was last time I did one of these transfers. The transfer fee was $20 last time, too, and accepting from an individual wasn't an issue at all. The guy at Cordelia Gun Exchange explained that CA laws passed more recently regulating CA dealers basically nuked kitchen-table FFLs which is part of what really spiked fees, as shops could get away with charging a lot more under those circumstances.
