DA,
Just for your info. That's NOT the way to do it. What you should do is the following.
You should discuss with your gun shop this .... 'How much will you charge me to TRANSFER a gun I have shipped in to you prepaid from another FFL ? Should be about $20.
DO NOT HAVE THEM ORDER THE GUN FOR YOU. YOU will then have to pay state sales tax, as well as his markup, as well as shipping, as well as your state/fed fees to take ownership.
What you SHOULD do is this ....
1) Verify how much your shop will charge you to transfer the gun. If his price is high, call other shops. You should be able to get it done for $20-25.
2) Then ... YOU call JGSales and buy the gun. THEY will ask you what FFL you want the gun shipped to. You tell them what FFL you want to use, and they'll tell you if they have that FFL on file. If they do, which they probably will, they'll ship it prepaid to your FFL. If they DON'T have it on file, they'll ask you to get your FFL to fax them a copy of the FFL. This is no big deal, and your gun dealer should gladly do this. If he balks, he doesn't know the law ... find another FFL, or have him call JGSales, who WILL explain the law to him.
3) When you go to your FFL (dealer) after the gun arrives, you will pay ONLY the agreed upon transfer fee (the $20-25). You'll fill out the required standard paperwork, your FFL will call it in, and after you're approved, you walk out with the gun. That's it.
You will NOT pay ... markup or state tax. Your OTD price will be what you pay JGSales + your agreed upon transfer fees ($20-25).
Trust me ... this is how to do this.
