That's what I am thinking. I am probably going to pick up a Spike's lower up at the gun show weekend after next for $85. I did jump all over the MOE lpk for $124.00 though.tacticool wrote:$15/$49.95 = .3003 = pretty close to 30%
It looks like it would be cheaper to pay sales tax, usually less than 10%
When you find someone to do a transfer for less than $15 let us know.apostate wrote:I appreciate the suggestion but a 30% transfer fee is too rich for my blood.texanron wrote:I use the guys at AMSS on Jones Rd.apostate wrote:Any suggestions on a reasonably priced FFL to do the paperwork in the Houston area?

Let us know where we can pick up a lower around here for less than $71.95 of good quality. $49.95(lower) + $15(transfer fee) + $7(shipping)= $71.95tacticool wrote:$15/$49.95 = .3003 = pretty close to 30%

That was my plan, but when I saw the $50 price I couldn't pass it up. I was going to pick up either a SOG lower or buy one from TX Tactical (they're real close to here) but the sale tempted me too much.wninja wrote:You can get gun show lowers at reasonable prices year-round, support the locals and small guys, support your state (tax), still have to pay a door fee...but a sale is a sale...apply all the math and reason you want, $71.95 bottom line is hard to beat. Now if I can find one of those mystical $5-10 FFL transfers, I'd be even happier.
That was my original question, as you can plainly see.texanron wrote:When you find someone to do a transfer for less than $15 let us know.apostate wrote:I appreciate the suggestion but a 30% transfer fee is too rich for my blood.texanron wrote:I use the guys at AMSS on Jones Rd.apostate wrote:Any suggestions on a reasonably priced FFL to do the paperwork in the Houston area?

They charged me $15 on a firearm that I paid $500 for which comes to 3%.apostate wrote:That was my original question, as you can plainly see.texanron wrote:When you find someone to do a transfer for less than $15 let us know.apostate wrote:I appreciate the suggestion but a 30% transfer fee is too rich for my blood.texanron wrote:I use the guys at AMSS on Jones Rd.apostate wrote:Any suggestions on a reasonably priced FFL to do the paperwork in the Houston area?

Use tax is the same amount, so there's no real saving there.woodsong wrote:No sales tax.
If you purchase merchandise through a catalog or the Internet from a seller located in Texas, you owe Texas sales tax on the purchase. If you purchase merchandise through a catalog or the Internet from a seller located outside of Texas and use the taxable item in Texas, then you owe Texas use tax on the purchase.
Hey, at least that gets your $15 FFL fee down to 18.75%schufflerbot wrote:BOO!!!
