Yup- the resident FL "shill" is here- if just for a few minutes. The OPs breakdown of cost is totally inaccurate, but I'm not going to waste anyone's time countering it. He doesn't work with us- so his cost breakdown is pure fantasy. FL did raise transfer costs as of 1/12. Obviously not my decision as I'm just a worker bee there. Since the big box stores stopped doing transfers, we have been literally overwhelmed with them. Storage space is at a premium these days, and it has proven difficult to store both all of the transfers and the in-store purchases. As I recall, 5280s transfer fee is $100 now, according to another poster. If you aren't happy with the fee, then do your transfer somewhere else. It's not going to change in the near future, so I don't know what else to say about that. As far as high prices are concerned- what cloud are you on? Name any other store that will still sell ARs at near pre-panic prices. ARs still trickle in, and we are not pricing them that much higher than 6 weeks ago. The last NIB AR we got, last Monday? I think, was a CMMG heavy barrel carbine. It was priced at $1449. A Christiansen Arms CAR was also put out that day, at $3445. The CA pre-panic price was approx $3200. It is a high-end AR. The week before, a NIB Stag AR went out the door at $995. Just before that a Colt 6920 at $1450. Again, this is when they would have been priced elsewhere over 2G. Our prices are ALWAYS below MSRP, as we base our price on what we pay for the gun, not MSRP. We get comments all of the time over the counter about how good our prices are, but on the forums people say "They're sooo expensive." Where else can you still buy a Glock 17 mag for $36? Didn't raise prices one penny on hi-cap handguns. Where else can you get Magpul mags off the shelf locally for $39.95? They're $95 at the Shootist. Best I can do right now.
