Does anyone know a fair priced FFL dealer near washington county that accepts online purchases and doesn't try to kill you on the price? I bought a new gun online and everyone I called either didn't do transfers for online purchases or charged a ridiculous price for the transfer. I found a place in New Alexander for a decent price last time i looked but its far and i can't find who it was now.
Thanks,
Brian
Might still be a little far for you but I say Gun runners of Pa also..Quote:

There are several down that way I found a while back when I thought I was going to make a purchase from the classifieds. Get on gunbroker and go to their ffl finder. You will see several and most of them have their prices listed. I think there was a guy in Midway that only charged $25.

He's located within a mile of Route 30 and Braddock Ave. in N. Versailles. His cost as posted in his web site is only $25. John is a member of PMSC and a great guy.
I found the company i had with my previous purchase that fell through. I called about 20 stores yesterday and they either wanted $60 for an online purchase transfer or they flat out said no we don't do that. Everyone around here is pretty cheap for regular transfers but seem to have a bad taste in their mouth for online purchases. Thanks Washington County guns and suppressors for all being reasonable for all transfers. They are about 35 minutes from my house but that's better than getting screwed by everyone else.
Anyone know why it's so expensive for online purchase transfers I'm just curious now.
Thanks for all the input all

Well, the mid-size to big shops don't like it at all because they want the gun sale. Why?, Well, they make more $$$ on selling a gun, plus ammo plus any accessories that they can sell along with it. If your an "internet" gun buyer then they know your a price shopper...and that's not the guy they want.Quote:

FWIW
I wish local shops stocked what im ordering but I also understand why they dont. My first order that I ended up canceling was through LaRue Tactical who have horrible customer service, which is y I canceled. The one I'm ordering now is through Georgia percision who has great customer service. If local shops stocked either of them I'd be the first one there, it's way easier. That makes sense what you are saying though.
I look forward to meeting you and remember folks that we offer all PAFOA members a $5 discount off of our $25 transfer price or our current special of firing one of our MG's for just the cost of ammo during a transfer.Quote:
