Cheapest FFL fee, north side of Chicago/suburbs?

Recommended Posts

Hi, wondering what the cheapest (or average) FFL fee is on the North side of Chicago (or in that general region). I'm thinking of ordering online and the one closest to me charges $30. Is that the norm or could someone else do it cheaper? Between the cost of the gun and the high shipping, every bit helps. Thanks!

$30 is a pretty standard price for a transfer fee imo. Places with overhead would rather you bought the guns from them instead of online. The least amount I have heard of someone paying for a transfer fee is $20. That was a home based FFL though, not a shop or anything.

 

If you haven't already found the cheapest place online to buy here's a good site for that. https://gunwatcher.com/

$20-30 is average.

 

The gun shops routinely charge anywhere from $50 and I've seen as high as $100. They really bend people over the table. A friend of mine paid $75 twice until I told him to stop doing that lol.

 

Find a good FFL that is close to you, and works out of their home, and that someone recommends. The FFL I use is a member here, but he's nowhere near the area you're looking. He's actually not even close to where I live, but he's a nice guy, communicates well, and is very reasonable on transfers.

Condition Yellow Academy in Arlington Heights, off of Rand road charges $24 for an FFL transfer. Great bunch of folks. They have a very reasonable price on their CCL course too. I've used them for both FFL transfers and the CCL course.

 

Good to know i'm about to pull the trigger on an AR and will likely use them. I think you're the same guy I'm talking to about the Sig238, we must be neighbors.
