You could use it for a nice “club”.
A decent one in .308 showed up on GB that was ten miles from here. The auction was due to end today, so I pulled into the gun shop parking lot awaiting for them to open. After thirty minutes of waiting while giving my dog lots of attention the open sign never went on. I walked up to the doors and the sign stated the store hours of operation and it also said “Permanently Closed”.
I came home and waited for the auction to wind down and placed my bid for the opening price of $1100. It will be mine after being shipped to my town, doing the paperwork and then waiting for the mandatory three day “cooling off” period.
I certainly didn’t need it but well perhaps I could. It comes with five magazines and a scope mount. Also bit of customization, a cheese grater forearm cover over the Russian Red wooden forearm. I have literally thousands of Lake City brass swept up from Fort Carson and a box of one thousand Nosler FMJ hollow point bullets somewhere around here.
Well, that’s todays story from Scenic Colorado.
Let's see the video of your taking out an entire covey of huns with that baby!

Steve,
The easiest way to locate a cooperative local FFL is to us the lists provided by Gunbroker.

Steven, I use Bristlecone Shooting in Lakewood near the Federal Center. They charge $25 for members and $50 for non-members, plus the state fee of $12.50. If that's a bit far for you to drive, I've also used Foundation Firearms a few blocks off I-25 in Loveland. Dont exactly recall their price, but $35 seems to ring a bell. Easier yet, just by pre-1898 guns and have them shipped to your door.

“I've also used Foundation Firearms a few blocks off I-25 in Loveland”.
Foundation Firearms has shuttered their business location in Loveland permanently. My recent online purchase on Monday from Foundation was hand delivered today by Mike, the owner, to Liberty Arms in Fort Collins on Harmony Road.

Another consideration might be:

If it's an original Parker Bros. shotgun or another firearm you're after that is at least 50 years old and remains in its original unmodified state can be obtained and shipped directly to you by purchasing an FFL Curio & Relic License for just $30 without having to go through chasing down and paying a Type 01 Federal Firearms License holder to make the transfer. The FFL C&R License is good for 3 years.
