Just bought an item. My FFL charged me $25. We *are* on good terms, however.
Mine charges me $25 also. But if there is more than one gun transferred, the second
is $10, as is each succeeding gun.
When I posted "typically," I didn't mean "all," and I thought that might
be understood, but I keep forgetting I'm posting on rec.boats.
The FFL I've been using for years charges me the same price he charged
me about decade ago...$40 for a handgun, plus $10 for the State of
Maryland. Rifle transfers are $20.
I "transferred" my Ruger revolver to its new owner yesterday. The only
fee involved was the $10 the State of Maryland collects for its
"regulated firearm" (handguns, typically) processing. The transfer was
legal, but there was no FFL involved.
Buyer got a good price...plus I tossed in some factory ammo, an extra
grip, a speedloader and a few Ruger specific accessories. Really nice
fellow. We're on opposite sides of the political fence, so we agreed to
not discuss politics.
My new revolver should arrive at the dealer's on Wednesday, unless the
continuing bad weather across the northern states interferes. If it does
arrive, I'll fill out the State of Maryland's paperwork there and it
should be in my hands by the middle of next week.
