Private Party to FFL Transfer Form

A Private Party to FFL Firearm Transfer is when an unlicensed person sends a firearm to an FFL with the intention of it being transferred to another unlicensed person. We strongly prefer firearms to be transferred to us through another FFL, as it is usually a faster and easier process.

We would like to receive notification of all incoming firearms from private parties. Firearms received from private parties that we haven’t been notified of will take longer to process. If you are an unlicensed person sending a firearm to us with the intention of transferring it to another unlicensed person, please read and complete the Private Party Transfer Form below:

Private Party to FFL Transfer Fee(Required)
The fee for a Private Party to FFL Transfer is $80, paid by the transferee when the 4473 is submitted, non-refundable. If we do not receive this Private Party to FFL Firearm Transfer Form prior to your firearm arriving, the Transfer Fee will be $100 for each firearm and processing times will be delayed.
Background Check(Required)
The fee for a background check is $10, paid by the transferee when the 4473 is submitted, non-refundable.
Shipping(Required)
Firearms must be shipped UPS or FedEx, with a color copy of the transferor’s valid, government issued, photo ID, showing proof of their current address.
Processing & Gun Check(Required)
When we receive the firearm, we conduct a “Gun Check” to verify the gun is not stolen with local law enforcement. The transferee will not be contacted to complete a 4473 until this step is complete, which can take an undetermined amount of time. If the Gun Check is not approved, the firearm will be surrendered to local law enforcement.
Child Safety Lock Act of 2005(Required)
The Child Safety Lock Act of 2005 states we are required to provide a secure gun storage or safety device with all handguns transferred at our facility. If neither of these devices were provided with your handgun, we will provide you with a child safety lock for an additional $10.
Denied or Cancelled 4473(Required)
If the transferee receives a “denied” or “canceled” response on their 4473, we will contact the original transferor to coordinate and pay for shipping the firearm to an FFL of their choice to have it legally transferred back to them.
90 Day Hold(Required)
If we are unable to complete the transfer for any reason, we will allow the original transferor 90 days from the date we contact them to pay for and coordinate the return process. After 90 days, we will surrender the firearm to local law enforcement.
Who is sending the firearm? (Transferor)(Required)
We must receive this form prior to your firearm(s) arriving. If we do not receive it prior to receiving your firearm, we cannot guarantee that you will be contacted when your firearm arrives, and you will be charged an additional fee as stated above. By entering my name above, I acknowledge that I have read, understand and agree with the requests, fees and policies above.
