WOW those are AMAZING deals! It must a California thing because I was looking at a Savage 10 FCP-k in 308 on Gunbroker and called around to find out what the fees would be or if it is cheaper buying it local and this is what I got.
Shop 1 Does not have but will order it and shop around to match the online price, if I did ask them to do a FFL transfer it is $100 bucks. Ok not bad I like thier attitude.
Shop 2 Does not carry the rife and spent 10-15 minutes telling how much better rifle X is over the one I want. I then asked about FFL transfer fees and he told me "I will not do them, I will not cut my own throat to sell someone else gun." Not looking good for buying a rifle here.
Shop 3 Does not carry the above mentioned rifle either and tried to talk me in to another one much like shop 2. This really sucks since they are VERY close to the house. As for a FFL transfer they will do it but they charge $160 + DROS + a sales tax. I told him it would be an out of state purchase and he said there is an out of state sale tax fee for that too. ??????
Shop 4 Again does not carry the mentioned name brand rifle, had very little interest in looking for one. When asked about FFL transfer fees it was $180 + DROS. He said nothing about other taxes.
You guy's that live in the free state I envy you!
