Again, OP is NOT in Mass.

From reading many non-regional forums, I have learned that some states DO apparently charge dealers for each "NICS" check (POC may be their state police or other). Also some state laws may specifically allow the dealer to charge for such checks. I think CA is one of those states for example.

It's not always correct to use our personal experiences to "paint" the USA with that same brush.

I have purchased long arms in NH and there is no fee for checks. Can't speak for any other state, as I have no personal experience.
