Question Preferred FFL near Orange County for Gunbroker purchases?

Hey all. Does anyone have a preferred FFL in the Orange County area that will work with Gunbroker purchases?

I'd like to get into using GB to purchase the occasional used piece more efficiently. Two FFL's I've asked locally won't do it. Anyone have a recommendation? Thanks in advance.
 
Stoney Creek Arms in Yorba Linda - appointment only kitchen table FFL - but only if you like dogs. :)

I love the dog! With Stoney Creek, there's no reason to endure the hassle of dealing with the donkeys behind the counters of Turner's or Bass Pro.
 
The Heavy Machine in Lake Forest is the best all around gun shop and gunsmith with the best service and the best selection of rare firearms.
 
Caduceus in Yorba Linda. Hone based FFL I've done 3 gunbrokers purchases there. Great guy and only charges $20 or $25 plus dros.
 
How much do they charge for a FFL transfer?

I don't remember what Stoney Creek charges. But every time I walk away thinking it's a bargain. I roll up in my truck, walk in, sit down at the table, and buļļshįt for twenty minutes before doing the paperwork. If you do the math and figure in labor, wages, and all the other expenses, the fee should be a hundred bucks or more. But the cost is nowhere near that.

Compare that with one of those "big time" gun dealers. You walk in, wait in line, talk to the donkey, and listen to the braying as he fills out the paperwork. Then you get to do it all over again in ten days. How much would you pay to avoid that inconvenience?
 
The Heavy Machine is the most professional and fastest place I have ever done a PPT, they are by the book professionals, but polite, helpful, and quick. They are friendly, patient with those doing their first transfers, and give out cold sodas and water, on a hot summer day, and coffee during the winter. For pricing give them a call, at 949-345-1938, and ask for Reza, the owner.
