Gun Shipping / FFL Fees

moman · 12-27-2002, 03:09 PM

I am trying to swap guns with a guy in Alaska. I called my local shop and they wanted $35 per gun (that's for the one I'm shipping and the one coming in) + a $9 State fee + shipping. That's $100 (25% of the value of the gun I'm getting). I've search some websites and made a couple calls and I get similar responses. While I keep trying, can anyone offer some advice, someone that does not charge an arm? If there's that much work involved, I suppose I'll just have to understand but from what I can tell, nothing to it.

If it's in Ketchikan I'll get you a name and address of a dealer that will probably do it for free. You can ship to a dealer.

Try the Philommath Gun Shop. Wes is the owners name and he seems like a real fair guy. I know it would be a drive, but worth $100.
