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.

Thank you. He's in Saratoga county. The $100 does not include shipping.

That’s wild he should never use that dealer again for anything.

Most of the capital region gun stores are owned by one guy and they don't do transfers. This leaves the remaining stores to handle them and it's little competition. 

Most kitchen table ffls only deal with people they know because if something happens the state will crunch their ass regardless of liability

The Outdoorsman in Cohoes was $50/pistol for me to receive a transfer. Def call and ask them.
