Default Least Expensive FFL Transfer Fees in Pittsburgh Area ??

I'm looking for an FFL that charges "reasonable" fees to accept firearm purchases that I've made out of town.

I have my c/r license which takes care of most of the milsurp stuff that I buy but occassionally, I buy an FFL only piece. I was stunned when the man said "That'll be $40 each" for 3 pistols I bought from an auction site.

I recall coming accross an FFL holder who did nothing but transfers. He had an actual shop but didn't seem to sell any merchandice. It was located in or near Pittsburgh. For the life of me I can't recall the name of the place.

Any help is appreciated as always

Thank you both gentlemen,
That is precisely the place I was looking for. My 10 year old enjoys using my laptop. He delated about 50 of my entries and replaced them with links to Pokemon sites, I guess he has his priorities too.

many thanks
Frank

franknphilly,
Welcome to the forum!

$40 EACH!!!??? Crap!
Even if GRoPA was a complete A-Hole, I'd tell you to use his transfer services for the huge savings you'll see! (You can buy nearly a half case of 9mm for what you'll save!)

Fortunately, he's not an A-hole, so you get the best of both worlds... great, friendly service from a forum member who stands up for your rights and great transfer prices.

Win/Win situation all around!

GROPA even has a frequent transfer punch card for a free transfer after so many transfers.


Hawk,
