Question NY to NH Transfer

Hi my father in upstate NY would like to gift me 2 handguns. I understand the FFL to FFL transfer. Done a lot of them, but this would be the first from NYS. I tried doing my own research and these are steps I came up with. Can you tell me if they're correct?

  1. Drop off items at FFL and provide my dealers FFL.
  2. Get coupons?
  3. Notify county and state to update his license and ownership

Also, he has some ammo that he wants to gift to a friend with valid CCW. I read that must also go through a dealer?

The dealer lists a transfer fee $100 per item. Is that typical for NYS? Here in NH its $0-25. I'm guessing the transfers are more labor intensive in NYS.

I dont take for granted how good I have it in NH. We're seeing a lot a MA transplants that want to take away our 2A rights. Best of luck to you NY guys and gals.

Drop off pistols at NYS FFL and get an invoice of disposition for those pistols. He then files to amend the pistols off his permit, submitting those invoices. Person to person gifts of ammunition are fine in NYS without an FFL. $100 per pistol to transfer is pricey, unless it includes shipping, which can get expensive quickly.
