So, let's say I wanted to purchase a gun from a place like Bud's Gun Shop. Would I:

 

A: Purchase gun online with credit/debit card, have it shipped to FFL, pay transfer fees and such when it arrives and receive it.

 

OR

 

B: Go to FFL, show them the gun you want, have them order it, and pay them when it comes in.

A. You pay and deal with the person selling the gun. Have them ship it to your FFL, when it comes, you pay ffl for transfer and nics/tax.

Ah okay. I figured it would be that way, since B made less sense. Thanks for the response!

Just to add to what Maks said... try talking to your FFL of choice before ordering online. They may be able to order what you want for less than the online retailer + transfer fee.

Or potentially match the price listed by the online retailer, which could sway you to keep the business with NJ firearms dealers (AND forum vendors )

 

Also before ordering anything online, you should try the Firearms Price Request HERE

TJ Sporting Arms, Bayville can handle that for you and give you the best price...period. Tony is great! Check out his website too for inventory.

plus a nice guy to boot.

 

if its something special, try Paul (PK90) he has a way to "make things happen".

Some places require you to have the receiver FFL send a copy of their FFL License (what ever its called) to the shipper before they will mail the firearm. I don't think this is done normally as the copy of the receivers FFL license is usually mailed after they receive the firearm.

 

In either case I think its always good practice to give your FFL a heads up on the transfer.

Yeah only in NJ will an FFL require the shippers FFL. One of the local shops i went to asked for it and the guy i was buying from said to find another FFL HAHA! Most don't ask and it's basically useless on the receiving end.

Also make sure of the FFL fees before having it sent. Some places have a list of FFL's and if you pick from the list they will just send it so make sure they know its comming.

I would try the firearms price request as others have suggested before you buy on-line. You may wind up getting a better deal.

I take it this applies for long guns as well as handguns? What if someone was to be in Pa. could they pick up a long gun and take it home or does that have to be shipped to a NJ FFL?

Long guns can be purchased from a dealer out of state. Handguns must go through a NJ dealer.

All online sales need to go through an FFL. With any online purchase when you are getting quotes for your new gun,make sure you are comparing the same model.

Models with different options change the pricing of the gun. If you see big differences in prices they probability not the same. In a nut shell do your homework and you will get the gun you want.
