Transferring Your Firearm
When you arrive at your chosen FFL dealer, INSPECT THE FIREARM THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE TRANSFER PROCESS. Once the transfer process is complete, the gun is yours and may not be returned.
1. If upon inspection you see that the gun is defective, leave the gun with the dealer and contact us as soon as possible, preferably before you leave the dealer. We will work with the dealer to have the firearm returned to us at no cost to you or the dealer.
2. If you wish to proceed with the transfer, follow the dealer's instructions for completing Firearms Transaction Record (Form 4473).
3. Wait a few minutes while the dealer calls in the FBI background check.
4. If you pass the background check, follow the dealer's instructions for completing the transfer.
5. If you live in a state that requires a waiting period before you can take possession of the gun, the waiting period begins after you pass the background check. If you live in a state that does not require a waiting period, you may take your new gun home with you.
