Cheap class 3 FFL in MA under $50 transfer

Isn't the transfer fee sort of lost in the noise with a class 3?

Suppressors are unattainable in MA unless you have an FFL-07. SBS I believe are flatly illegal here. SBR/AOW I'll concede the points.

Short barreled shotguns are OK in MA (ie, AOWs). Sawed off shotguns are not.
GFA is charging me $125 for a SBR transfer. For that, he has to Form 3 it from the manufacturer, fill out the Form 4 for me (he does that part of it to make sure it is done correctly as part of his service), store the SBR for a few months when it arrives and finally 4473/FA10 the weapon to me. All in all, he is earning his $125.

If I knew of a cheap transfer place I would have posted it. I can breathe just fine, so I know my head is not in my ass (the rectal sphincters would constrict the airway).

GFA quoted me $125 for a Form 4 transfer of a complete SBR from the manufacturer.
What service are you getting for $50?

$50 is kind of low for a NFA transfer....unless its say an sbr or a can...
If your spending 10s of thousands of dollars on an item..id grease the wheels a little with like a minimium of $200 and then i may throw more at them if it was a difficult or botched transfer not on their end. Unless the item was already in their inventory.
But hay maybe im too nice of a guy and should expect them to store and insure such an expensive item for a completely unknown amount of time....never mind if you want them to be available to let you shoot the item while waiting for the transfer.
*Strike the whole "can" thing...forgot we're talking MA

I think i gave greg at GFA like 4 or 5 hundred for my m16 transfer... he didnt demand it or anything.. i think he said like 150 or 200 but i didnt think that was fair.. he was the only guy in the state i called who said "ya no problem" and never once questioned if i was serious or just some tard calling..
Good service great guy
* this was either pre efile or right at the start. So he had to physically handle and mail the paperwork, and with a trust that can be quite a bit.
Basically, keeping his lights on and paper and ink cartrages and postage would eat up $50. A dealer making no money cant keep their doors open.. and that is why not many class 3 dealers even deal with the general public in MA.

So you don't even have a dealer pick out yet, your going to do the paperwork yourself?
Good luck with that..while possible only a dealer that you have a history with or are personal friends with is going to provide you a copy of their ffl and let you do that.... i havent filed out any form 4s in awhile but i assume they have to sign it.
You better copy the info from the approved form from the manufacture to the dealer perfectly onto your form 4 from your dealer to you or youll screw yourself.

If you have your 03FFL you can do your own transfers, at least anything c&r.
If you are looking for a bargain rate class 3 dealer to do a transfer and plan to do your own homework to keep the costs down, then based on the brevity and clarity of your question(s?), I wish you lots of luck.

Then the difference is whether the shotgun was originally manufactured as a sort barreled shotgun? Can a 07FFL remfg it with different barrel length?
