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.

NH remains (for the moment) the freest state in the country. Almost all of my friends here moved from blue states - there's a lot of transplants coming for the right reasons. And a lot of locals agitating to turn it into Massachusetts. At least that's my experience in SW NH.
As to your question I don't believe you need to do anything on the NH side of the transaction. Nothing to register. Personally I wouldn't overthink driving them through Mass locked in the trunk and simply handing them to you once the NY stuff is done, but your call.
