I'm a NYS resident, and it is true in my experience. If I had to send a Luger, it would have to be sent by my FFL guy. I've received my auction pieces, sent to him, then registered by me and, finally, transferred to me. On the registration form, his business is the one listed as my source, not RIAC. There seems to be variation in this by county, or perhaps by dealer, as one I talked with said he'd receive only from another FFL. I'm figuring RIAC has their own FFL and do not itemize a transfer fee in their numbers. They certainly tack on a hefty enough buyer's premium to be able to cover it.
