    With a FFL fee of $30-35 and shipping of about the same, it takes away some of the "deal" of some of the online sales. I'm looking for a way to cut down on that. Can you pay one FFL fee and pick up multiple guns at the same time, running several on one 4473?

    I have had it done 3 different ways.

    1. Full Price for each transferred firearm
    2. Full Price for the first firearm, a discount on additional transfers
    3. Buy one, the rest were FREE!

    I talked to one FFL in my area and told me that he would only charge $25 per 4473. So you can put IIRC 4 guns on one 4473 and that would only cost you $25. YMMV

    I've had one FFL do three transfers for the price of one, but I think the dude was hooking me up. It's really up to them, though I do think it's typical to charge for each 4473.

    Negotiable like most things. My guy charges me $15 per gun. Search for FFLs- smaller and less busy should charge you less. Let your fingers do the walking.

    What would be really awesome is if there was an FFL that is a site supporter that could hook all BS members up. I know that is probably a fantasy but all they have to do is keep the 4473 on file in there store, correct? They dont actually get charged anything do they?

    With members from Lake Charles to Shreveport to New Orleans where would that FFL be located? :)

    they have to run the 4473 every time and you have to fill it out everytime. I charge $15.00 for premium and above members. $ 25.00 for all other. If they buy the guns (multiple guns on one form) from me I don't charge to run paperwork. If it is thru a transfer I will charge $ 15.00 or $25.00 per 4473.
