I went there and they wanted to charge me $75.00 for a FFL and they are really over priced. No discount there.

I went in and found they had a Kel-Tec PLR-16 which I've been looking for, but they wanted just under list. No sale there.

I have been looking to buy a AR15 Lower and need a good cheap FFL in vancouver. I went to Discount Guns and they wanted to charge me 75 plus taxes and thats almost what I am paying for the Lower. It really is hard to find honest shops here that will not treat ypu like bubblegum abd clean out your wallet. thanks for the help

Just don't get bent out of shape when they charge sales/use tax on the item. It's required by state law but not all shops have been audited yet so they think they can get away without charging it. Brightwater (when Mike had it) found out differently and he ended up paying out of his pocket.

For $75 plus tax I think discount guns was trying. to rape me.

McDermott Gun Repair

I used to use Tim McDermott but I think he closed down shop (Least that is what his email said awhile ago.) I have been talked with Eagle Firearms and they seem like good people and I think they only charge $20 as well.

I may have had the last transfer through McDermott's. I had trouble getting in touch with him even though FedEx said my pistol had been delivered there. I finally went by the house and found his wife and sons at home. His wife said he was in the hospital and the prognosis wasn't good. No word on how it turned out. His son is also an FFL an was able to sign my gun over to me. Sad. He seemed like a good guy who tried to give people good service. Let's just hope things turned out ok.

Does FFL charge tax on actual price of the firearm from online without shipping fee added?

Nope, the tax is also payable on the shipping cost (link), if they can't establish a price or it's too low (fake BOS) then the State will set the value for you!

As of June 1, 2002, use tax is also due on any freight, delivery, or shipping charges paid to the seller.

I thought you could buy long guns in Oregon and take them home to Washington? Never done it. And know you cant do it with pistols.
Are AR lowers considered pistols? They could be built either way.

I just picked up an AR-15 Lower a couple days ago from Joe at Crossroads Arms, who is by far the cheapest at $25. Discount Guns charges $75, Brightwater Ventures charges $35.

You can buy long guns directly from dealers. AR Lowers are not considered pistols but you still cannot buy them across state lines, because they're not considered "long guns".
