Which Chico FFL is cheapest?
Of the Chico dealers with a fee on record, Sportsman's Warehouse #232 is the lowest at $100. That is the cheapest known, not the cheapest that exists: 6 dealers here have no number on file at all.

Can a gun be shipped to my house in California?
No. A firearm bought online ships to a licensed dealer, who runs the Form 4473 and the background check before handing it over. The transfer fee on this page is what that dealer charges for doing it.
Listings come from the ATF August 2026 Federal Firearms Licensee list and exclude licensees operating from a residence. A licence is not an endorsement and licensees are not required to accept transfers from third parties. Fees are reported by buyers, change without notice, and are not a quote.
