I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a FFL dealer in the Chicago area - specifically western suburbs. I need to find a new FFL dealer who can handle a shotgun with pistol grips.
There aren't very many left any more, since King Richard took the Cook County throne. The one I go to most often is Maxon Shooters Supply in Des Plaines, not too far west of Chicago and easily accessible from I-294:
Then there's R Guns way out west in Carpentersville. They specialize in old military surplus and new AR-15's:

140 N Western Ave #B
Carpentersville, IL 60110
(847) 428-3569
There's one other in Lincolnwood, very close to Chicago. They do tactical stuff for local police, SWAT, security guards, etc. But then a shotgun with pistol grips may be right up their alley:
Shore Galleries
3318 W Devon Ave.
Lincolnwood, IL US 60712
(847) 676-2900
There are about half a dozen others listed in online Yellow Pages and such, but when you call, you get a "number disconnected" message.
Cabela's is also a good source. They'll transfer your shotgun without any issue. I've dealt with them a few times and they've only been helpful and friendly.
The dealers such as Maxon's are spendy!! Smaller guys that specialize in transfers rather than counter sales are a lot more reasonable.
$25 from John Amato below ... my other guys are way out in the boonies and run $15 - $20

I think Maxon charges $45. Phil's Village Sports Center charges $44. It seems that your best bet is John in Wood Dale. I was unaware of such an FFL. I think I will be doing business with him in the future.
Thanks for helping me out too guys. I didn't even initially know that I needed the help.
Illinois Secure Firearms is in Glendale Heights. $25.00 for transfers and they discount police & military 20%. Very friendly and will do business on weekends. Their phone is 630-480-0186.
