FFL holder in Northern Illinois?

[danbrew]

Can anyone recommend an FFL holder in northern Illinois (within 50 miles of Chicago) that is willing to accept guns being transferred in? Doesn't matter if individual or business, and fees up to $50 are ok. My usual two gun stores won't accept new guns that they stock and I've found a couple that I want from other dealers and they're new. Pointers appreciated.

I'd go to gunbroker.com and search their directory of FFL transfer dealers.

There's one in Woodale, John Amato at Thin Blue Line, on Irving Park, just west of Bensenville. Won't do a bare pistol frame (eg. a Caspian) or an AR (Cook County ban issues) but fine for other run of the mill stuff - $25 a gun as I recall.

I have another at $20 but he's out in Minooka at the I-55 - US 80 junction... nicely situated for me between Chicago and the ISRA range at Bonfield. PM me if you want his contact info.

Depends on where you are. Freddie Bear Sports in Tinley does transfers for $45, and RInks in Lockport does them for $50. There's a guy in Oak Forest who does it for $20, but I can't remember his name. Buds Gun Shop does a lot of business with him.

Hi Meatcutter, welcome to The High Road!

How much would you charge to transfer a stripped AR-15 lower, and what would you regular transfer fees be?

 

[seanie!]

I'm also curious about this, and what city you're in.

The ATF has lists of all FFL's and their contact info available for download at http://www.atf.gov/statistics/ffl-list.html - very useful for finding one in your area.

I use Tom Sobek:

He's in Oak Lawn, charged $20 and contacts you right away to come pick your items up. $20 and that's it, no trying to charge you sales tax or another $5 for the phone call, etc.

Are guys trying to charge sales tax on the item?

Hi danbrew and others,

I found myself in a similar position a few months ago...without a proper website to search for FFL gun shops. I decided to compile a database for myself and others to use:
Gun Shop Locator http://fflgundealers.net/
Just type in your Zip Code, pick a radius, and click SEARCH FFLS

If you like this resource, let us know.

Cheers,
