I've had good luck at RW Pawn on Hwy 99. Have run guns through them a couple of times. Also Fin & Feather in Ridgefield.

I was suppose to meet 3 different people down there at the Fourth Plain store for transfers. They didn't have a single customer in there and wouldn't help us cause we didn't have an appointment.
Same here met someone who drove an hour and half to do a transfer , their choice to meet there . Both of us are 1/2 hour early they tell him no appt / no trans. They did volunteer they had no one coming in but they just stood around doing nothing , it felt more like bad employees not surebought a new gun a few weeks ago...
Holidays, weekends, etc.... 11 business days pass and I call to see the status.
Was told that their license or whatever with Clark County had lapsed and the Sheriffs office was not processing BGCs until they reapplied.
Tropics said it would be another week.
I called the county and they said it was more like 2-3weeks before Tropics' application was approved, not to mention however long it took them to process the actual 4473s
WTF... no call or anything. Theyre just going to let it go 2 months before I get my gun?
Thankfully they offered to refund my transfer fee and deliver the gun to another FFL in town so I can get taken care of.
Give them a call and raise a little hell and see if you can get your transfer done elsewhere, I used Americas Pawn on Mill Plain by 205. Their fee is $35 (cash)
The people at Tropics blamed the county and said that other shops have had the same issue.... any of you guys have a gun stuck at an FFL because of this?
after 33 days at tropics they took my guns to Americas pawn my bgc cleared in 7 days
Oh happy day !
Are you're guys coming from CCSO or VPD? Still waiting for a call on mine.Americas Pawn called me today to pick up.
After about a month, I finally get my gun
Now that Americas Pawn is doing them same price without appointment & is reasonable distance away... I can see Tropics losing a bit of business.Same here met someone who drove an hour and half to do a transfer , their choice to meet there . Both of us are 1/2 hour early they tell him no appt / no trans. They did volunteer they had no one coming in but they just stood around doing nothing , it felt more like bad employees not sure
Mine was CCSOAre you're guys coming from CCSO or VPD? Still waiting for a call on mine.
Been waiting over a month, even called 4 days ago to check in and was told nothing about the issues going on. I will be stopping by there tomorrow.
Problem with RW pawn they will not hold the handgun for the buyer until the background check clears. Does Fin and Feather or AmericanI bought a bolt action rifle in Vancouver 2 weeks ago. Tropics turned us down on transfer for no appointment. Went to R W Pawn, $20 transfer and out the door with rifle 1/2 hr.
I have done about a dozen transfers from Tropics. I have also dealt with Dan a couple times. Not a good experience.We have never implied this was county's fault; The blame is entirely my fault (Dan). Several gun shops in the Vancouver area have let their Washington dealer's license lapse and they will continue background checks once it's reinstated. No "hell" has to be raised, I have made arrangements with Brass Tacks Munitions to accept transfers from us and we will issue a full refund of any money collected from us. I had no idea it would take so long to resolve this issue. If I had, we would have stopped scheduling transfers until it was resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience I have caused in the delay of your firearms purchase.
Americas pawn used to NOT hold... But theyve changed the policy..Problem with RW pawn they will not hold the handgun for the buyer until the background check clears. Does Fin and Feather or American
Pawn hold the handgun?

Will not be disappointed to see them go out of business.

Went there (RW) Saturday to do a transfer. Counter person was very polite, quick and helpful, and they only charged $20.
I did a transfer at Tropics a couple weeks ago and had no issues.
