Background Check Required
All transfers are subject to the required background check and approval process.
Firearm Must Be Legal
The firearm being transferred must be legal for us to receive and legal for you to possess.

FFL Transfer FAQ
Quick answers to the most common firearm transfer questions we already cover on the site.
How much does the transfer cost?
The transfer cost is $19.99 for each individual firearm.
How do we get your FFL?
Do not worry. The company you purchased the firearm from usually handles that step and reaches out to us directly. If they still need help, contact us first.
What do I need to bring?
Bring a state-issued ID that reflects your current residence, along with any permits or documentation required for the firearm type being transferred.
If it is a person-to-person transfer, the current owner must also bring a valid state-issued ID, and the transferee must bring their own ID plus any required permits.
What happens if I am denied?
If your transfer is denied for any reason, the $19.99 processing/transfer fee is non-refundable and must still be paid by the customer.
What is legal for me to have transferred?
Because firearm regulations differ by state and locality, it is your responsibility to verify that the firearm is legal for you to receive and possess before you begin a transfer.
Do I need to contact you before ordering a firearm?
Usually no. In most cases, the sending FFL will contact us directly for the information they need, and we will notify you when your firearm arrives and is ready for pickup.
