That’s about what it is here in Central Florida, $45 on average (including the $5 background check). Heard that there’s a LGS in the area that charges $75. They don’t even sell lowers of any kind. I guess they are trying to mark up the transfer fee so much that it makes their in house gun prices look more attractive.

So here is a recommendation for those of you paying more than $20…find a local gun forum (and even the arfcom hometown forum if you cant find another one) and ask about transfers from ā€œtabletopā€ or home based FFLs. They will probably be lower.

@SuperPredator is one such FFL and can give you guidance or more info. No one needs to pay $45/transfer.

Best thing I ever installed was the AR-Stoner 2-stage marksman’s trigger. It’s just such a great trigger, a joy to shoot that makes my M90 feel like a relic by comparison. That, coupled with the anti-walk pins and my ambi safety lever make that rifle handle like oiled glass.

PSA Ar-15 is a very tight weapon. Great workmanship. Shoots straight as hell.

I love a 2 stage trigger. I hate doing a build without one, but I have a couple of PSA match triggers that are going into my next builds. Maybe they can change my mind, right now I put LaRue 2 stage in everything.

Congratulations, And welcome to the AR15 community! This is where the rabbit hole begins lol! I’ve been in the rabbit hole for quite some time and there are many tunnels leading in different directions. I’m now in the AR 10 tunnel lol. It’s all enjoyable.

I’m lucky. $10 transfer that is waived if you buy $10 or more in gun accessories or ammo. No brainer there. Anyone in NE Ohio looking, check out Wadsworth Supply (sometimes called Ohio Supply).

$50 for a transfer??!

Come on man that’s malarkey

Actually, that’s not even the highest I have heard of. I have a repeat customer who moved here from New Jersey. He was getting charged $50 for the transfer plus $35 for the background check. $85 for a transfer. Highway robbery.

Beware the black rifle disease!! As everyone has said…clean it, lube it and shoot it. After that customize it to you. Welcome to the AR (Armalite Rifle) world!!
