I go to this place sometimes to LOOK, but I NEVER buy anything from them.
Their firearm prices are always HIGH, sometimes VERY HIGH and their Accessories are just as absurdly priced.
Mainly b/c they are sitting right next to Fort Polk where Soldiers with a lot of deployment money in their pockets and no sense, willingly pay whatever the price is. Rarely do I cross one that knows how high their prices really are. Most don't care b/c they aren't willing to drive to Alex or Lake Charles anyway.
Their Transfer Fee has been $35 for quite a few years. The highest around this side of the state.
Was so a couple years ago too when I had a Handgun transferred to them from Florida.
They asked "why didn't you come to us with your purchase, we could have ordered you one of these".
>I said and how much would it have cost out the door?
"probably around $750"
>EXACTLY! I said. I just paid, $585, got Free Shipping and had to pay your $35 Transfer Fee and I still came in around $120 LESS than what you would have charged me.
"Oh...well...we couldn't have got it that low"
>I know that, hence the reason I didn't bother...
FFWD to Today.
I call them again about transferring a Handgun. Just to be sure, I ask how much is the transfer fee.
She says, "$fiftzxipuumuffledsoundIcanthear"
> say again, did you just say $50!?
"Yes, it's $50 for any Firearm Transfer Fee"
> ARE YOU SHITTING ME!?! That's like 11% of the Firearms value!
"Have you checked around?!
>Yes I have, I know several other FFL's who charge $15 to $30, definitely not $50!
"WELL, It's $50 Ok!? That's it!"
> I hung up in pure amazement.
$50 freaking dollars for a Handgun Transfer...sigh...what's the world coming to.
Sounds more like a fine they impose for not buying directly from them.
*UPDATE*
I brought in my Aimpoint 3X Magnifier w/ Samson Quick Flip just to see what they'd offer.
They tell me that they could get that set up brand new for $500. They couldn't sell mine for more than $400 so their offer to me was..........$200. I walked out of course.
Now unto some price I grabbed. Most of these things were marked 'On sale' .
I'll upload pics tonight.
