I've seen a bunch of different responses with this inquiry; however, no one has specifically answered the question. Is the fee related to a percentage of the gun value? Is the fee fixed (it will always be $X no matter the firearm value)? I've tried the LiveChat, but that is a joke. You can't get past the menu selections, so I couldn't find out directly that way either. Any recent, specific help is greatly appreciated.

Hi John and welcome. The FFL fee is charged by the FFL Dealer for the completion of the paperwork/background check (4473 Form). This fee can vary by FFL Dealer from $25 to $50. Just call your local FFL Dealer for their fee cost. Cheers and stay safe!

Hi John, the FFL sets the fee. It has nothing to do with the value of the gun. Some FFL's charge  $25, some charge $100, and most are somewhere in between. I have found that FFL's who work out of their homes are usually less then those who have brick & mortar stores. 
Stay safe & have a great day!

The FFL will have set fees no matter how much value the gun has. The fee is basically a transfer fee to register the firearm in your name and to do a background check before you take possession of the firearm
