is that the only "extra fees" in california? $25 tax seems a little heavy, but it is california....
$100 plus another $25 tax seems outrageous for some paper work unless california charges the FFL holder some kind of fees.

which gun shop was it that told you that. I live up here in the north sound and only have one big gun shop to go to with out having to drive over 200 miles round trip down south. so i would like to make sure i avoid the one your talking about if that is going to be there policy.

Thanks for all the input and comments.
To answer a few questions:
I left the name intentionally out because they are a good shop, I will just go elsewhere for my transfers. In regards to private ffl holders I have tried several at auction arms and guns america and their information is outdated or incorrect which is a pain. In regards to getting my own ffl I don't think it would be worth the hassle due to the number of transfers we are talking about.
To my friends in California, I am sooooo sorry that you have to pay those type of fees but justifying an increase because you pay more doesn't make a lot of sense. I think you should be up in arms with the amount you pay and less accepting of a 50% increase for someone else. As many of your past residents have found in other parts of the country less expensive is not that bad (for them).
I don't mind the local shops got together and discussed their businesses and how things are going. I am upset that the end result is that they found out they can't compete with the open market of firearms transfers. Case in point, I just purchased a S&W 642 from this forum NIB for $310 shipped, the shop in question has one in the case for $410 with maybe $20 bucks in room which basically saves a portion of my tax. Maybe I made a bad buy.
