Not from what I've seen - they'll charge you the standard $10 MSP fee, but that has to be paid regardless.
Now, if you do a private transfer and go through an FFL, that tends to run between about $40 and $75 from what I've seen - better to go through the MSP directly if you can.
does MDS have a preferred FFL that does transfers for members at a discount or anything?
If you go to the MSP, it costs $10. You really won't find cheaper than that.
Be ready for a loooooong wait though.
With a private transfer, there is nothing keeping the seller from legally transferring the gun to you after 7 days, regardless of whether or not the MSP can keep up on their end. You'd have to have a cetain amount of trust in the buyer/seller with an agreement to get back together to sign the copies once the paperwork comes back, but it eliminates that long dragged-out process that you'd deal with going through an FFL, and it would save you money.
+1 on doing the transfer at a MSP Barrack. Most reasonable people usually vet the person they are selling to somehow i.e. club member, MDS member etc. I have sold several guns to MDS members and all worked out really well.

If you go to msp they will tell you on the 8th day to transfer the weapon.
