Hey All,
My mother in law lives in the Oro Valley suburb of Tuscon AZ and wants to send us a rifle that belongs to her father (wifey's grandpa).
They want to go through an FFL to send the rifle, but the only shop they can seem to find that handles FFL transfers is an outfit called Murphy's. They are charging her $45 for the transfer plus another $30-40 for shipping. the shipping charge seems about in line, but $45 for an FFL transfer? Even here in CT where there is less competition and stricter laws than AZ, i usually get them done for about $25-30.
They also may have given her some bad advice, but given that she is really not a gun person and may have misunderstood them, i want to give them the benefit of the doubt on that.
Anyway, i wanted to check with you folks in that area. Is Murphy's a reliable outfit? and is $45 in line with typical FFL costs in that area?
