Default Cheapest FFL Transfer

Where have you found to be the cheapest for FFL transfers in Philly and the surrounding area. Accepting in and out of state type transfers.

Who (Name & #), Where (Address) & How Much ($$$)?

Transfer fees can be different for out-of-state vs. in-state for some places. I usually do my transfers with Cathy Barlow at Choice Firearms in Levittown. She used to charge $15 + $5 for PICS, but has increased to $25 + 5. I usually transfer a couple guns at a time and she'd charge me $10 extra for each additional gun. She's also very reasonable for shipping guns out: $15 FFL + actual USPS shipping.

You can try http://www.gunbroker.com/user/DealerNetwork.asp for other places (Choice Firearms is listed on there too).

Do a search for "aston ffl". I haven't used him but he seems to bet the cheapest place in the area.

The Gunbroker website has a list of FFL's with prices by state that you can use to see who might be cheapest in your area. Call ahead first-I've seen FFLs price differently than they list on Gunbroker, but not often-but it is a good way to vote with your wallet who you want to do business with.

get in touch with howards and JB arms on west chester pike. It is listed under a furniture store but ask for howard. 25$ transfer and very good guy.

Otherwise someone mentioned that firing line is 25$. Not sure if they are still that cheap but call them.

What the hell happened to that place! I used to belong to that place when they first opened back in the 80s. for years when I lived on 2nd and morris.I stopped in about 8 months ago and it looked like a bomb hit it. That said the guy who owns it now was very nice to talk to. It was sad to see it go down hill.
