Precision Firearms Transfer Fees

[thesamunit]

Just letting you guys know, I've used Precision for 3 different transfers and have paid 3 different prices, each time more expensive than the last. This last one cost me $40. I know that this is a strange time for gun owners, enthusiasts, and retailers, but something felt dishonest about being charged that much to transfer a gun they didn't offer. Just a heads up.

did they charge TAX on the amount as well??

I think so, but I'm honestly not sure. I bought some ammo while I was there so I didn't pay attention if they charged me for sales tax on the transfer. Is that not a normal practice?

That's why I deal with a couple of guys on this forum only for transfers. Great guys and great prices.

Everybody seems to have increased transfer fees. Several at $100 around here.

Do people really pay that?

I know several around Baton Rouge that do! Including a couple of sponsors too.

$100.00? thats laughable. its not hard to get an FFL to sell out of your home, even easier if you have a business of any type operating already.

here it comes /flamesuit on

Acadiana Gunworks fees are 25 bucks. If you have more than one gun at the same time they are only 5 bucks each.

City pawn on Florida charges $15 eveytime. i have transfers going there now. They're on file with everyone I've bought from and they're nice as can be. Ask for Chris. Tell him a BS member recommended him. You can find some good deals in there too.

Not I. But some buyers must pay it or they would probably come down.

i called Precision Firearms to do a class 3 transfer this week. told me i had to go to a class 3 dealer, i said, well are you not a class 3 dealer and the reply was, yes we are but we no longer will do a transfer, too much trouble. well, okay then!

I started using a guy in laplace company is called c&c firearms very nice guy even invited me inside his home and talked to him and his wife for about an hour. I think places around me are about 5 bucks higher but I pick up my stuff from him when I go to see my parents on the weekends who live very close by.

I am curious though is a transfer fee price dependent on the area its located in or just whatever they want to charge?

 

[flemgunner]

Cant speak for anyone else but we based ours on what we wouldnt mind paying as an individual vs what we as a company would need to make it worth while. The same holds true for C3 stuff we charge 125 for that.

I just bought one of the $69 PSA poly lowers and Chris at City Pawn is doing it for $15.

It's all what the business decides to charge. The standard is 15-30 bucks. Any company advertising double that or more has lost my interest into even walking into their facility.

Again, it's not hard to get a FFL. If you are a collector or frequent buyer, you may want to look into it (if you are selling as well for a profit).
