The Process, Step by Step
- 1
Purchase your firearm from an online retailer (like PSA or GunBroker), out-of-state private seller, or auction site.
- 2
Send the seller our FFL information so they can ship the firearm directly to us. Contact us and we'll send you our license details.
- 3
We receive and log the firearm per ATF requirements, then reach out to let you know it's arrived.
- 4
Schedule your pickup appointment. We're home-based and by appointment only, with evenings and weekends available.
- 5
Complete your transfer: fill out ATF Form 4473, pass your NICS background check, pay the $35 fee, and take your firearm home.
What to Bring to Your Appointment
- A valid, current government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID, or passport).
- Proof of current address if it doesn't match your ID.
- Any state-required permit that applies to your purchase (for example, a Michigan pistol purchase permit or valid CPL for handguns). We'll confirm current Michigan requirements with you when you schedule.
- Payment for the $35 transfer fee.
Federal law generally requires buyers to be at least 21 to receive a handgun and 18 to receive a long gun, and to pass a NICS background check. Additional state or local requirements may apply. We're happy to walk through your specific situation when you reach out.
Shipping a Firearm to Us
Because we're home-based, our address isn't listed publicly. Contact us and we'll send your seller our FFL shipping information directly.
The seller should ship using a carrier that accepts firearm shipments (commonly UPS or FedEx; USPS restrictions vary by firearm type) and provide tracking information. Once the package arrives, we'll log it and reach out to schedule your appointment.
Good to Know
- We're appointment-only, with no walk-ins or public storefront.
- Most transfers are completed the same day as your appointment, pending NICS results. In some cases federal law allows the background check system to delay a determination.
- All transfers are subject to applicable federal, state, and local law, and we reserve the right to decline any transaction.
