Thanks for the heads-up buddy, I will into them and see if they still transfer at that price. Many thanks.I haven't bought a new gun requiring an FFL in almost 2 years.
I used to use BEST LITTLE PAWN SHOP on Montana near McRae.
Transfers are $10, and boy was he swamped last year.
During the start of COVID his hours became very screwy and they rarely ever answered their phone.
Good guy, but not sure how they are doing today.
Very true.Most folks don’t realize that anyone can ship outbound without themselves being an FFL holder. One would just need a copy of the “ship to” FFL - the USPS person will verify the “ship to” address is the same address as the “ship to” FFL holder. USPS typically will want to keep a copy of the FFL
I really appreciate the information, many thanks.Very true.
However, not a lot of FFL's accept firearms from non-FFL's when it is from "out of state" as the OP said.
Now I am not saying you CAN'T do it, just saying that in my experience a lot of FFL's won't do it...
I ran into this issue once also years ago when shipping to Ohio when selling one of my Yugo's on Gunbroker after my FFL03 had expired. The buyer's FFL01 of choice stated that since my rifle was coming into Ohio from out of state (TX) that it needed to come from a valid FFL holder, and absolutely had to be shipped by UPS and no other carrier. This happened to me back in 2015 (or something like) that but I remember it was a PITA to get through the red tape for this guy to accept my rifle.
I agree with you that when shipping within Texas there should be no issue shipping directly to an FFL as long as you have a copy as well. But I agree with the OP that it can get hairy if the firearm is going to cross the state line.
