Best and inexpensive FFL to use

[Angeleyes1968]

I have 2 questions here; I purchased a gun fron gunbroker.com and need to snd it to an FFL for transfer to me. Where is the best place to use? I am in Lusby/ Solomon's. Second question, I heard from someone that the gun must be shot and a casing snt to MSP, is that true? Is there a cost for that? Ok, that was 3, sorry.

Here's the link to the buyer's page on gunbroker. There's a 'find an FFL' icon that you can use to search by zip code.

If it's a used gun made before 1985, you should be free and clear. Used made after 1985 has to be on the handgun roster (search the MSP website). Others may correct me if that is wrong.

If it's a new gun, you will ened a shell casing and many manufacturers include it with the gun. Your FFL will send the case to MSP. If no shell casing, you'll have to find a local FFL and they will charge for that, though if they do the xfer, they may throw that in or lower the fee.

Here is the handgun roster:

If it were me I would have made arrangements with an FFL prior to making any purchase just to give them a heads up.

The gun won't arrive for a few weeks so I assumed I would have time and when I spoke to a couple of dealers at the Buck Wild Expo I was under the impression that I could do it after. I will remember for next time, thanks.

Thanks, that is great info. I purchased the gun from Gunbroker so. Will go check it out. I will have this system down in no time and won't be such a newbie, lol.

When you keep buying you'll keep your favorite dealer on speed dial.

Best and inexpensive, that can be a rare combination.

You guys are all great, I am all for the speed dial!

Get your C&R if you are into older stuff and you can have the goodness sent straight to your door.

I considered that, thought I would pick up a few and get the system down first. Looking forward to the next get together that I have read about.

Keepshooting.com in Waldorf is the best FFL I know of in southern MD. You can go to their website to get their number and give them a call, or check out their page on this site.

Put in the paperwork to be a designated collector too. That way you can buy more than one regulated firearm a month.

It doesn't cost anything, you can get the paperwork off the MSP website I believe?

Ron's bay pro shop down on 260 does transfers for regulated stuff for 50 bucks. I've had stuff from bud's sent to them no problems.

Keepshooting in Waldorf would probably be your best choice if the gun is new and needs a fired shell casing. Here's their IP section http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=25369 and their phone number 800-570-8239 ask for Mario.

If the gun is used then there are a few home based FFl's in your area that may be a little cheaper. PM me for their contact info. None of them are I.P.'s here so I won't give their info on the open forum.

All Pawn in White Plains are good guys and the cheapest around especially when you buy multiple guns at one time.

Keepshooting for sure. I got my first handgun through them and they really exaplined the whole process well.

Plus Mario is awesome!

 

[Papi4baby]

I say keepshooting.

Good price for the transfer and awesome guys to deal with.

Keepshooting ! Great service , and reasonable.

Downside is no retail storefront , apointment only , hard to find if you haven't already been to the secret location.

The rest of the equasion is that closer to home , but somewhat more expensive may workout better , particularly for regulated involving two round trips. Since Brian is also close , makes it easy for me.

Accurate guns and ammo in loveville is another great option.
