what about buying from an online retailer? (edit as I got the answer to the deleted part but not to rest of my questions)
which one is best credit card or check/money order?

Add - I talked to an FFL for transfer and they told me after they get the firearm they open the box without my presence and note the serial number. Then they call me 24-48 hours after receiving the firearm.
My question is is it the same policy with all FFLS' that they open the box without customer being present? You know I am thinking they might test fire the firearm just for fun or even put in exact bad one in there and take the new one for themselves. Is this a possibility?
