SLIGHT RANT - Outrageous NFA transfer fees - 01/29/15 10:50 AM
.....sorry I just had to vent.
I have more than a few NFA items which were purchased through a SOT in SC a while back.
I currently have 4 suppressors which I need to have transfer ins done for... I've contacted a few SOTs in the area and.....$100 per transfer..????? When I inquire about the price, I'm told that it's for the paperwork and having to store the cans. I can MAYBE understand that the transfer is a bit more than a standard FFL transfer, but if I'm needing 4 and it's $100 per transaction?
I know that NFA is an expensive game, but it almost seems that dealers are exploiting that fact with charging such an amount. I've dealt with the paperwork....it's not all that much more than a standard transfer. As far as storing the cans....really.....charging that much for rent in a safe...?
Please someone feel free to knock me off of my soap box and tell me a good reason why all of these transfers are so expensive....and I mean some intelligent replies. I'm not new to the game but think that these prices are ridiculous....
Thanks for letting me rant a bit....
