Hi Michael, no, this is how they make their living. They do not work for free. The only time you would not pay a transfer fee is if you bought the gun directly from them.

Not that I'm aware of if it's an inbound transfer from another seller. Now, some FFL'S charge different fees but you'd have to call them in your area to find that info out.

Hi Michael and welcome. Likely not for incoming transfers. Most FFL Dealers don't charge a transfer fee if you purchase directly from them. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
