I want to buy some inexpensive AR15 lowers, but I do not want to pay the local rate at the gun shops of $50 per item for the FFL fee.
I spoke to the folks at the gun counter at the local Academy (I know, I know), and they made this sound like they would be able to do an FFL transfer for the entire order for $40.
Has anyone used Academy to do this?
Did it go okay?

Are you local to Houston? We at Texian can beat that $50 fee, it's $20 each gun (in this case lowers) for TexAgs.

To jabberwalkie09, I wish I could throw some business toward Texian but I am in Odessa, Texas and gun shops want $50/gun.

Go to Gunbroker.com and check out their FFL finder. There are a lot on there in Odessa for <$25. Call first to make sure the info on Gunbroker's website is still current.

Shouldn't ever pay more than $20 per transfer, even a transfer with multiple guns.

If I want to transfer something through Texian do I need to call to let you know before I purchase or after?? How does that work?

I've never seen an Academy accept transfers from other FFLs. They only deal in new guns from their distributors. I'd want confirmation from the store manager before going that route.

Email ffl@texianfirearms.com so that we can get it all hammered out. Generally, contact us before to setup so that we can make sure we have everything straight on our end to receive.

They will do it but it's a pain in the rear. The one next to us just sends them our way, usually.

Academy will take inbound FFL transfers. Its actually really cheap if you are buying multiple lowers. I think it's a flat rate of $40
