$10 here in Lewisville, Tx Last time I was there on a Saturday afternoon, he had to open a new stack of 4473 forms as he had done almost 100 transfers since Thursday he said.

$25 is the going rate around here. One very reasonable local shop even offered $35 to do a 10 Palmetto lower shipment back when the blem sales were happening. I told them to make it $50 as it was very much worth it to me.

One of those things were competition is your friend.
Here $50 and up was the going rate for a long long time. With the Internet and the advent of online gun sales, more and more small shops mostly doing transfers changed the business model. For a bunch of years $25 became the going rate locally. A lot of those small shops are gone now and the price is creeping back up. Most are in the $40-$45 range again.

$20-25 for each 4473. You will find some shit heads will charge that per item despite going on the same 4473.
The dude has to log each firearm individually, so two firearms are double the work. Pawn Shop Guy that I use charges $25 per firearm and there is a pass-through charge for the background check of $5 for the 4473, whether there is one firearm on the 4473 or multiple firearms. He does not keep the $5 -- that goes to the state.

Originally posted by 400m: Unfortunately, living in Illinois, I need to have an FFL dealer do the paperwork for the air rifle I want to purchase. So far I have heard $75 and $65. Is this a reasonable fee? It seems high to me but I thought I’d ask.
If you're in Illinois close to St.Louis I have an FFL that does it for $35
As cas said, competition is your friend. Take a place like CA, where they pile a ton of additional requirements on FFLs and make life as hard as the can for them and there will be less FFLs all charging more money trying to stay in business. Yet another reason to move to Free America…

Used to have one that would do it for free, but he went out of business a long time ago. He admitted he was doing it for that just to get people into his shop so they could see what he had. He was more than fair on the pricing for his inventory by the way. For the record, I did buy a few guns from him because of that.
Now, I use Primary Arms on the very south end of Houston. They run $10 but will include up to 3 firearms at a time for no additional cost.
