FFL

[rickwhoo]

My daughter wants to order a new AR15 from a local gun store that they don't have in stock. She asked me if she'll need to pay for an FFL and I told her no. Is this correct?

She'll have to pay the transfer fee and pics check unless the guy doesn't charge her.

Also before ordering firearm make sure the FFL will accept online purchases some don't!

Right. Some will charge a premium, like the shop that transferred my spas 12 for 85.00

I would find a gun you like on hte internet that ships. They will have it set up to pick an FFL. You can search by zip code on their site. They'll give you a list of names, addresses, and phone numbers. Then you can call to make sure they're receiving guns, and ask what their fee is. Most lately is $25-30 for regular FFL's. Some shops I've seen charge as high as $100. You order your gun, it ships to them, they call you when they receive it and it's ready to be picked up. You go and fill out a form for your PICS background check, wait 15-30min, and then take possession of your firearm.

It sounds to me like she's going to order it off of the LGS and wants to know what fees will be involved. I am not sure but I believe that a rifle purchased from the LGS gets handled the same as a pistol, am I wrong?

Not sure what shop she is using. If the FFL operates like myself and she orders through me, I don't charge any PICS or transfer fee as my markup covers any PICS, etc. I do need paid up-front for the firearm she would order as that is our policy implemented after years of people canceling their special orders.

If she orders from an on-line source the FFL would more than likely charge her a transfer fee depending on what policies they have in place for such procedures.

Hope that helps some.

This is a well known gun store. All they sell is guns. They have this AR on their website but it's not instock.

We have bought a gun from them a few years and there was no FFL
