| I've always stayed away from purchasing major components at gun shows. We have one rolling through town this weekend, and I'm looking to buy a new stripped lower. The main question I have is does one have to pay a transfer fee for one at the gun show? If thats the case I'll probably just pick one up online as I can get better selection for the basic same price at the gun show if I have to pay a transfer fee. |
| no actually would probubly be a good place to look for a deal on a lower. most places and states allow you to buy rifles shotguns at gun shows and walk out the door with them the same day, no transfer fees, some may charge u tax. would still be the obligitory call to the feds they have to make. thats the only real hitch. ive had the fbi check take 2 days to get an answer back. but you could run into that issue with any ffl you had one shipped to also. i have one here locally next month that i intend to shop a new lower too. |
| If you are purchasing from a dealer (which you probably will be) the purchase is the same as if you were at a local gunstore. A transfer fee is typically charged by a dealer for accepting a firearm you have purchased from out of state and had shipped to your instate FFL dealer for transfer to you. At the gunshow I imagine the dealer will be selling his own stock and will price it accordingly. |
