Do all gun stores have FFLs or just some?

I'm trying to get a gun online and you can only get it delivered to a store with an FFL. I think only a select few have them, is this right?

Yes all gun stores have FFL's and so do some people. call a gun store and explain to them what you've found or want to buy and ask what there FEE would be if they received it for you and did the back ground check.
Remember they don't have to do it so be very respectful and if you find one that will ,take a dozen donuts to give them when you go to pick up your gun...A.H

Follow this link, put in the information needed for where you live and find an FFL near you that is reasonable. $20 bucks for a transfer if a good price. Some may charge you sales tax especially if you bought it online from a seller in your state. Some won't if because you bought it out of state and yet some will and some will try. Anyhow, click the link and fill in your info.

See if you can find a gunsmith in your area. Most will do this for a very reasonable price, and some will do it for nothing if you are using their shop for your repairs. I try to be as low as possible, because the area I live in is pretty poor. Can't do the work for free, but will keep it down for the folks who can't afford a highpriced shop.

I would advise using someone you know and trust. Even if it costs you a little more. Maybe I am paranoid but better safe than sorry. Comes from a bad experience with a new gun shop that I didn't know. Gunsmith sold our guns! Police got them back for us.

I'm poor too! I have a wife that was born to shop, three girls, and six grandkids. By the way, I strongly recommend Purina 1! It has a pretty good flavor to it. LOL!

People don't have to worry about that with me. I don't have an address on my cards, and you have to call for directions. I'm keeping it small so I can do better work, and I'm rural, so I can test the repair before returning the firearm to it's owner. I don't plan on selling a lot of firearms, and would rather order them than have them sitting around gathering dust. I just like working on guns! This way I don't have to spend my time watching looky lou's. Brother Bob, it's good for you, too. I prefer the stuff in the can, you don't have to soften it up like the dry dog food.

Walmart gourmet dry cat food makes a good filler for stew. Throw a few pieces of rabbit in there with a sliced tater and sliced onion and you are good to go.
