With that said if you watch Sportsmans Sales they are hard to beat. I have also bought guns from Stans in Wenatchee and got really good deals. Find what you want and shop around.

Carpsniper has good prices on Rugers.

What are you looking for...maybe people can keep their eyes open for you.

The transfer fee is already in the sale, which is zero. I've never paid for a transfer buying it that way.

If you buy a gun online and have it sent to a third party/FFL you will be charged a transfer fee by the third party this covers processing the 4473 and running the NICS background check.

The fee is built into the price from Gun Genie. I've never paid a transfer fee to my FFL guy. If you have a CPL, the background check has already been ran on you, unless I-594 changed that. Paying $45 to transfer a gun is a ripoff, I'd do business elsewhere.

Buds is a good one to buy from too.
