He did three different background checks for what was essentially the same transaction? That was a waste of time!
I think if you purchase more than three long guns then the FFL has to fill out a multi gun form in addition to the 4473.
And a NICS check is valid for 30 days.

There are five spaces on the 4473 for firearms and it is my understanding from multiple FFLs that this is the the number of transfers that can be handled on one background check transaction. This has been my personal experience: five serial numbers, one form. Assuming I understand this correctly (and feel free to educate me if I do not) I do not find it logical that an FFL would charge $10 for one gun and $30 for three. $10 actually seems a little too cheap for one, but three times that for three doesn't make sense to me. If handling two to five guns does equate to two to five times the effort, then I would like to understand why. Perhaps this is an issue of a non-FFL's perception versus the reality of being an FFL.
In Oklahoma the only multiple firearm purchase forms required, apply to multiple handguns purchased in a 7 day period.
Some border states do have a requirement to report multiple semi auto sporting rifles.
There are 5 spaces for serial numbers on the 4473, but the transaction is not limited to 5 serial numbers, the dealer may attach an addendum to the 4473 for additional serial numbers.

I purchased several handguns at a DEA auction a few years back and they were all added to the same form and one call was made for the check.
I would also like to know how it is any more work or expense on the part of the FFL when more than one gun is transferred on the same form.
I am not arguing one way or the other as to what SSP wants to charge, but I don't understand how multiple guns on the same form causes any additional effort or expense.

The background check is the easiest and least time consuming part of handling a transfer. If you want to know more, I urge you to apply for a FFL and set up shop. $10 transfers is not a recipe for long term success.
I'm gonna prove you all wrong, I'll get an ffl and undercut every one, $5 for all 1 gun or 100 guns. When I make it rich in this scheme I will lord my ruby encrusted plantinum coated ar15 over all you pesants.
That sounds like a good business plan. Let us know how well it's working out; heck, you could even franchise it!

Just thinking of the obvious, multiple firearms generally won't come in the same box. Each box must be accounted for, opened, logged etc. Now multiple lowers is different probably but who cares? people should just pay it if it's $10. If you can't afford $10 on top of a firearm, then you shouldn't be buying one.
This type of thinking is what kills local FFLs.
Finally, at what point is another charge valid in your mind? 5? 10?
This post is an embarrassment
Tommy and Sooner State Pawn were sponsors of our shooting team for 3 years and were never anything but a class act. We were honored to have them on board.
For someone to ***** about a $10 transfer fee is deplorable .
