Transfer Fees

[jmo2003bu]

I live on the west side of Indy and am looking for an FFL with a reasonable transfer fee. My father-in-law, who lives in Virginia, is sending me a gun. I checked one place today and the fee was $35. Is that about par for the course or are there cheaper places out there? I'd rather not drive very far...especially if the price isn't going to be much different. Where do you all recommend?

Try Bass Pro Shop

I paid $15.00 several months ago and was treated real well.

$15 is about the best out there, although some of the out of the way places are cheaper there aren't many of them. $25 is the MAX I would pay for a transfer.

Try Beech Grove Firearms on Main street in Beech Grove. I believe they charge $20. Otherwise i'm with Countryboy. Dont pay more than $25.

Try pawn shops. Many of them are FFL 01 holders and would gladly take $10 to do a transfer. Most folks don't think of pawn shops to do their transfers.

I use a pawn shop, but they charge $20. Not too bad, unless you get 10 lower receivers transferred.

They don't give you a special deal on multiples or lowers?

My local shop is $15 for a single item and $20 for multiples (any number within reason).

$25 is the highest I'll pay. Too many willing to do it for less.
If they want $35 for a transfer, I wonder what their markup is on merchandise!

Nope, they said $20 per item. It could have been a new guy working though that didn't know. I have only done single transfers at a time with them, but asked about getting 10 Lowers transferred in, that's when he told me $20 each

Man, that stinks. I don't understand why some people do this. They aren't doing any extra paperwork, all they're doing is writing down a couple extra serial numbers, the paperwork and phone call etc are already done.

Either way, thats a decent price for a single transer.

If you're on the west side already, head over to Westside Pawn/Loan at 10th and Alton. Inquire inside...
