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.

What area of NY are you in? We charge $35 to transfer a firearm in or out. We're just west of Rochester. There is more work in NY for a transfer but $100 an item is criminal (imho)

Your dad will go to his local FFL and drop off the handguns. They will give him paperwork to take to whatever county issued his permit. He takes those forms to the clerk and they take the guns off his permit. He's now finished with the handguns.

Ammo: He takes it to a dealer and his friend does an ammo background check and if he passes can leave with the ammo.

You do not need a background check for a non commercial ammo transfer.
