Transfers
Appointment Only | Black Diamond, WA
Clean, organized transfer handling with transparent pricing.
“Transfer fees cover compliance handling and administrative processing once a firearm is received.”
I don’t charge a transfer fee if I sell you the gun. If you know what you want, you buy it at 10% over my cost (min of $40). You pay for it and I don’t charge the consultation fee. You will pay state sales tax and the state background check fee. Depending on what you want, you might have to pay for shipping.
If you need to be fitted for the right firearm, I charge a consultation fee. That fee is 100% applied to your purchase. If you need to think about it, leave and come back later, I will still credit the consultation fee 100% against your firearm purchase. Everyone will pay state sales tax and state background check fee.
