I would like a recommendation for an FFL for a transfer. Anywhere in the Denver/Longmont/Boulder patch of CO will work.
Thanks,
Matt

5280 Armory... I'm pretty sure it's a flat $25 rate. I've had a few shipped into them.. They are at 55th and Grant I think...

Not sure if Paul is still in business.

Get ahold of PanamaDave here on this board, he's in Westminster. Real nice guy to deal with, works out of his house. I just bought a used surplus pistol from AIM Surplus, Dave charged me $20 for the transfer.
What is an average rate for a transfer? Is it about $20-$25? I ask because know that there are some places here in Colorado that charge up to $50 (and that seems a bit high, IMO).

$50??? Yeah, that's beyond ridiculous. Turn tail and run away!Quote:

I highly recommend Alan Samuel of Machine Gun Tours and Colorado Multi-gun fame.
www.ShotGunNews.com has an FFL finder.
20-25 seems to be the average.
40-50$ does seems high, but people are charging it.
Also ask if they charge tax. Some places charge you sale tax on the original cost of the item. I would love to see their tax records to determine if any of that money goes to the State. I asked specifically and don't need to charge sales tax since I am not making a sale.
Also some places charge the transfer fee based upon the retail value of the weapon, 10% is common.
Last thing to look at is, do they charge per multiple weapons or is it a flat fee.

To bad you're not farther south. The guy I use in Centennial only charges $10.00 and is a great guy. Bill Stark

Ironridge Guns in Longmont is good, he's my class III guy. Here's his number, tell him Ron sent you: 720-937-9855
Last time I did an FFL transfer (Alpha Pawn, S. Broadway in Denver, $20) they charged me sales tax on my original purchase price I paid to the out of state vendor.
Is this correct? Seems to be conflicting info...
I'm looking at some more expensive items to FFL transfer and would like to avoid sales tax if possible.
I don't think they are supposed to charge you any tax for receiving a firearm. They are providing a service not selling an article (which you bought from out-of-state and had paid for already). [Rant1]Quote:

I don't think Paulsfirearms.com is in business anymore. There is no response from his email or phone. Too bad, he was a good guy to deal with.
FFLs are getting scarce in Boulder. Does anyone know of a local FFL in the Boulder area?
Don't know about Boulder, but I have used Panamadave in Westminster and it went very well ($20).
+1 for PanamaDave. Although I have never had a chance to do business with him I have heard many good things about him. Also there is a biz called Hole in the Wall in Brighton where they will do transfer for $15Quote:

Alan is great, but the drive isn't very convenient.
I've used Specialty Sports. I think it was $35 last time. They seemed very put-out though.
Mike
Gander Mountain in Aurora wanted $35, but I chose Firing Line instead, they charge $30 flat fee...had my stripped reciever sent to them...
+1 for Dave. Done a few transfers with him, very good guy to deal with. He's also in north Westminster, only about 20-25 minutes from Boulder tops.
i have used earl at hickman rifles $20 very nice guy and was happy to do the transfer for me.Quote:

I can recommend Robb at Boulder Property. He is an FFL just North of CU in Boulder. He can receive for you and only charges $20. I just got something through him a few weeks ago.
I was pleased :)

Sigmund Williams

Retired officer and all around nice guy.
(303) 665-3064
Was $20 per gun a couple of years back on my last transfer. Very conscientious. Does transfers to supplement his retirement income.
Everyone I've sent his way has been happy.
I just met and recommend Jay Griffen of J&J Enterprises. He is in Highlands Ranch and charged me $20.00 fo the first gun and $10.00 for each gun after. Nice gentleman and is listed on G-B dot Com.
303-470-6404
Never met him until after he received my items.
My guy is Bill Stark, in Centennial, like Yosemite & dry creek? Charges $15 and never any trouble. Good guy. 303-771-4593.
Gary at Eagle is a great guy. They actually work hard to make sure you get a timely delivery. I won't go anywhere else.
I would recommend trying my business out. J & J Enterprises in Highlands Ranch. My Transfer Fee's are 20.00 for the first gun and 10.00 each additional gun per transaction. If you find a gun online you want to but then buy it and send me the information on the seller, email/fax, and the transaction info and your info. Email it to me jay@jj-enterprises and I will send a copy of my FFL to the seller and call you when the gun arrives.
Check out Grand Prix Guns in Littleton. Their transfer fee is only 15 bucks and they have great service. Not too bad.
I used Eagle firearms and accessories as well. Two thumbs up and $20 aint bad!
