Low cost FFL Transfers in or around Harford Co?

[crabjoe]

Ok.. I'm just trying to get my ducks lined up in case I end up purchasing a handgun online. My understanding is that I have to have the out of state dealer ship it to an FFL here in MD. I'm in Cecil, but I'm in Hazard county most days, and being I grew up in Baltimore Co, I'm there a lot too.

Is the process as simple as it is in my head? Contact a local FFL of my choice, have the out of state dealer ship to my FFL of choice. Once the FFL gets the gun, they will call me to fill out a 4473 and want my 77r pin? Once that goes through, I just pay whatever the FFL charges for transfer and $10 for the State? Is that right?

Anyone have a recommendation on a low cost FFL in or around Hazard County?

Thanks!

You pretty much have it. Assuming this is a handgun. Some clarification.

Contact your preferred FFL to determine if they will accept the transfer and what their process is.

Fill out your 77r online. I usually have a couple ready to go.

You will likely pay the transfer fee and certainly the MSP fee at the time of showing up in person to give them your 77R info/pin, etc. You will also need to complete the federal form 4473.

Having said all of that, IMO, unless what you are transferring is the deal of the century, is hard to find, used or no longer made, you may find your FFL pricing is about as good taking into account any shipping and transfer fees.

I deal with John at Clark Gun Locker in Aberdeen Md pretty much exclusively. Great guy and transfer is 40.00 plus MSP fee I believe. Great little shop too.

Gotta check him out, Belair gun range charged me $50 and acted like they didn't want to do the paper work for my AR lower.

Whats he asking on transfers? It's an extra 10 min drive if I go after work but I have stopped in there once or twice before for crossbows and other things.

I should give him a call and if it is $25 that's possibly the best in the area.

Why not ask the local dealer if they can acquire the gun your looking for and price match?

OP might not be looking for a current model. Most of my transfers are used stuff my dealer wouldn't ordinarily have.

Ive never done a transfer there but I've done a lot of business with them. Definitely good guys.

Sorry I hadn't responded earlier but I never got a notification that anyone responded to this post.

I ended up going with an FFL I found on gunbroker. I went with him for 2 reasons, #1, it's my friend's neighbor (This I noticed based on the address) and #2, charge was $25+ MDSP $10 fee. Plus I called my buddy and he said the guy was a good guy in general and had known him for years.
