Transfer prices are all over the board around here (east side of Los Angeles County), complicated by the fact that some FFL's won't do any transfer from out of state. Some won't do a transfer on a gun that they did not sell you. Some have raised the transfer fee to a level that makes it impractical to transfer anything less than a very fine (i.e., expensive) gun. And some who will actually transfer an out of state gun for a reasonable fee now insist on charging you sales tax on your out of state purchase. That tax is 9.75% where I live, and 10.75% where my favorite gunsmith operates. The best deal I have found locally is $135 to transfer a long gun from out of CA, no sales tax. Add another gun from the same state to that ticket and it's "only" another $55, each. Add a gun from another state on the same ticket and it's "only" another $85, each. I can get the transfers done for less on the other side of town, but that's a three hour round trip to start the paperwork, and another three hour round trip to pick up the gun after the ten day waiting period, with time being money. If you are concerned about examining the new purchase within the three day inspection period, you have to plan well in advance to go look at the gun because on some days you just can't get there from here.
