Default FFLs in Colorado

Can anyone recommend a Front Range FFL who handles transfers for a reasonable fee?
The shop that I used to use went from $50 to $150

I was hoping for a recommendation of a Parker-friendly sort from the thousands on that list.

New owners.
Many shops aren’t happy about internet competition.
I would prefer to deal with a well stocked shop, but Cabela’s is about as good as it gets here in Colorado, considering their network of stores and free shipping to your local store for inspection.

I thought you would contact the ones closest to you. Shop around. A transfer is a transfer.

It is a business. With transfers, there is nothing really in it for the receiving FFL except more paperwork for the ATF to gig them on during the next inspection.

Communists liberals in Virginia passed a law that ALL gun transfers must go through a FFL. But limited the fee that can be collected to $15! Just a pain in the butt for both citizens and businesses lose money for the time involved.

It could be worse. You could live in Colorado. Don’t even get me started on some of the legislation we have seen here.

I felt compelled to get a semiautomatic rifle here in Colorado before the new state laws of mandatory classes and some sort of annual registration takes effect. I have had many nice ones in the past but never kept them around. I never even dreamed about owning an AK before, but after some research on this “M77 Zastava” outfit, I was impressed with the simplicity of the action and the stout operating rod. 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.
