Are there any FFL's doing multi item transfers for one fee?

Call me cheap, but I hate having to pay $25/per gun for a transfer fee. Are there any current FFL's near Broken Arrow or Tulsa that only charge you a flat fee, nevermind the quantity? I bought 2 stripped lowers and a shotgun last week, since there was a good sale at classic firearms, but the transfer fees ate up the savings. I sometimes see good bundles on palmetto for their in house serialized dagger, rifle, and pistol lower, but I've never taken the bait because I know I'm still going to have to pay another $75 in fees. Why can't I just pay $25? I remember when some stores didnt charge a fee, because there was the expectation of business afterwards. Build up a reputation with the owners, and then you buy most of your stuff local through their brick and mortar store, you know? I could stomach that, rather than an arbitrary fee. Maybe I'm just getting old, I suppose.

I haven’t seen a flat rate regardless of how many transfers, but there’s some good resources with pricing. Here in OKC there’s more than a few options for $10 transfers, I’d say just look around until you find something similar in your area. Depending on where you’re buying from they’ll list prices for the transfer too and just weed out anything over $10. That’s what I do anyway :anyone:

Look on gunbroker, at the bottom of the page you'll see a link for "find a FFL" that will pull up a list by zipcode, with what they charge. Call and ask what they charge for 2 or 3. The guy I use does not charge extra for 2, but if you do 3 it triggers something else and it's more work. It should not cost extra for 2, it all goes on the same page. And stop asking people to call you cheap.

Yes, Silver Dollar Pawn on 41st and Peoria charges one fee of $20 regardless of how many I have transferred during a visit.

If you buy two or more hand guns then there is extra paper work that has to be made out and sent to the ATF and the local sheriff or police department.

I’m not a store front ffl, just do it out of my house, but if I have to make arrangements to be here to sign for an incoming gun for a customer then I might charge a little more, but as it is I charge $20 for a rifle or three, but I’m charging more for multiple handguns.

I’ve had guys not even offer to pay me, so I’m real picky about who I do paper work for any more.

Sooner State used to do it $10 for the first form (5 items) amd $2 for each additional item. What had happened was, they found people would leave the items there, waiting till they got 5 items, sometimes weeks or months, and they got tired of being a storage facility for these guys over a couple of bucks. So now its $10 an item. Still a good deal, but another example of a few bad apples....
