Private transfers at gun shows?

**ROCK-IT3** · October 1st, 2009, 11:15 PM

Will FFL's do transfers between two individuals at a gun show? Or is it poor ettiquite to ask a dealer to do that? Just asking becuase it may be possible for me to meet a buyer at a show and do a transfer there.
Thanks,

Many will do it for a cost of somewhere between $20-40, depending on the dealer.

Many will, some will not. Poor etiquette? No. They either do or they don't. (most do) Can't hurt to ask.

Can't hurt to ask. Plus it's just extra money for them without selling anything I guess. Worst they could say is no.

I have done it. I bought my 1911 from my uncle and went to the Mt Bethel gun show and did the transfer. Since I bought my Remington 700 from the guy at the show, he did the transfer for free.
