Say Grandpa wants you to have his M1 and you go the FFL and pay the transfer fee of $25. Is that it or do they make up a sales tax for what it would cost?

If an gun gets shipped to an FFL from an out-of-state individual (not an FFL), then no sales tax is collected. It doesn't matter if it's a sale or a gift.

The FFL will certainly collect tax, if they are on the up and up. I have shipments to Jason's from individuals all the time and tax is always collected.

To encourage compliance with background check requirements, the sales tax imposed by RCW 82.08.020 would not apply to the sale or transfer of any firearms between two unlicensed persons if the unlicensed persons have complied with all background check requirements.
(g) A person who (i) acquired a firearm other than a pistol by operation of law upon the death of the former owner of the firearm or (ii) acquired a pistol by operation of law upon the death of the former owner of the pistol within the preceding sixty days. At the end of the sixty-day period, the person must either have lawfully transferred the pistol or must have contacted the department of licensing to notify the department that he or she has possession of the pistol and intends to retain possession of the pistol, in compliance with all federal and state laws.
