A lot of us on this board order AR lower receivers in bulk when there's deals to be had. As we all know, they have to go through a FFL.
Some FFL's charge per item, and some charge per FFL form. FFL fees can get a bit out of hand when a FFL wants to charge you $15-25 per receiver, and you're ordering quite a few of them. I actually had one tell me it'd be $125 for 5 receivers. Since that would have completely ruined the cost savings, I asked him if he could transfer them any cheaper since it was a bit too expensive for me, and he would not.
This thread is to chronicle where to go for these transfers.
I've had OK success with Columbus Pawn. They do $20 per FFL form + $5 per additional firearm (so $25 for 2, $30 for 3, $35 for 4, etc...). Sometimes, they'll cut you a cheaper deal if they like you. You must either go in or call them to verify before ordering. Otherwise, there may be an uninformed employee that doesn't know this, and they'll charge you $20 per receiver when you check out.
