What is an FFL Transfer?

​

An FFL transfer is required when you buy or sell a firearm through a licensed dealer. As a licensed FFL dealer, PawnDepot facilitates the legal transfer of firearms between private individuals, ensuring that all state and federal regulations are followed.

​

At PawnDepot, our FFL Transfer Fee is $25.00 per firearm. Please allow us a processing time of up to 3 business days from the day your firearm is delivered to our store for it to be received, processed, and logged in our books before we contact you for pickup.

 

Upon pickup, you'll need to complete an ATF Form 4473 for the necessary background check. We require a valid government-issued I.D., and it must match your correct legal name and current address as mandated by law. Only the individual whose name is on the transferred firearm's paperwork can legally pick up the firearm, and the original purchaser must be the one to do so.

 

Please note that we do not accept firearms shipped from individuals with a residential address or from any person or business without a federal firearms license. We exclusively accept firearms that are FFL transfers from other licensed businesses, such as FFL gun shops, FFL gun ranges, FFL pawn shops, and FFL sporting goods stores.

 

If you're an individual without a Federal Firearms License wishing to ship us a firearm for an FFL transfer, we require you to bring the firearm to your local FFL gun shop, FFL gun range, FFL pawn shop, or FFL sporting goods store with a valid Federal Firearms License and have them mail the firearm to us.

 

Any firearm sent to us from a residential address or from any person or business without a Federal Firearms License will be returned to the sender's nearest local FFL gun shop, FFL gun range, FFL pawn shop, or FFL sporting goods store at the sender's cost. This cost includes paying for return shipping and a $100.00 fee for our time spent returning the firearm. Failure to comply with this policy will result in the improperly shipped and received firearm being forfeited and submitted to local law enforcement for legal destruction. 

 

PawnDepot is not liable for any damages incurred to any firearm being transferred to our store. Failure to accept the transfer after one year from the delivery date at our store will result in forfeiture of the firearm to PawnDepot.
