Transfer service offered by FFL's has long been a topic for debate. Before the latest craze transfer fees ranged from $15 to $30 for a single transfer. Over the course of the past few years I have worked with at least 6 different FFL's for transfers. It is possible to do a bit of checking to find a FFL who explicitly seeks transfer business. In my experience, those are the best to work with. Naming those I prefer, J&J and Rapid Fire Bunker are my preferred FFL's for transfers. J&J charges a bit more for a single firearm transfer, but is less costly if transferring more than one firearm in a single transaction. Both are professional, courteous and want your transfer business. I believe it is because Jay and Steve are sincerely interested in building a large network of satisfied customers no matter the size of the transaction - and they are succeeding (IMO). And I should add that Bowers is closest to me and now that they have an FFL (just read that), I'll definitely be using Mike and Rob for my next transfer.

The larger shops seem to offer FFL transfers only as an aside to their primary business and the attention they provide reflects it. For a time (and maybe still) Bass Pro offered the best transfer price for multiple items in a single transfer, but they are located so far away from me that it was impractical. Still, all the bigger shops, like Firing Line, have had spotty reports in terms of their FFL transfer service for quite a while.

FWIW
