Shocked in Cabelas.

[jb1911]

Last year I bought a Ruger LC9s online and had it transferred to Cabelas in Hammond. I was charged $35 for a transfer fee.
Last week I ordered a Glock 43 from Grab a gun and picked it up at Cabelas yesterday. The transfer fee was $75! That's quite a
jump.

Just thought I'd share.

Yep. They want you to buy it from them.

And here I thought you were electrocuted

Lesson learned. Send your gun to a gun store, or buy it from a gun store!

Guess you'll check with the small gun shops from now on. I usually see the shop advertise $15-35 transfer fees.

 

[Rooze1986]

Dang, did they charge you to run the NICS as well?

 

[Tactically Fat]

And why didn't you confirm with them what their transfer fee was/is?

I think it was fair to assume that the fee would not increase by 114% in one year.

Know what assuming does, don'tcha?

I have found that their prices are not that great, even with their big name and all. Have gotten just as good if not better deal from small shops, or have found a few good deals at Rural King believe it or not.

The price from GAG was $450 plus the $75 made it $525. Cabela's wanted $550 plus $39 tax would have been $589. Still way better than buying from them.

$35 is still high imo.

US Defense Solutions charges $15...

Plus something that common, they most likely have in stock at a cheaper price.

I'm sure you could have got the glock 43 cheaper at Bradis or USDS

 

[JStang314]

My lgs sells 43's for 459 at most. But that transfer fee is rediculous

 

[spec4]

I found a guy in St. John that charges $30. PM me if you want info. He works out of his house.

fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.

They must've followed the mark-up regulations of Cadillac coverage under Obamacare. New gun = unhealthy practice.

I don't live near those places. The only other place close is Blythes and the last time I asked they wanted $50.
