I didnt want to have to pay shipping, plus transfer fees and then wait a few weeks for the firearm to arrive.
@Evenflow - how long does it say it will take your firearm to arrive at your ffl dealer? My gun range is listed as a preferred FFL dealer and they told me it was only 25$ transfer fee + free shipping from Buds + 4$ insurance = 350$ shipped for 870 Express 6+1 synthetic 18" which is the best Ive been able to find.
