Transfers

ONLINE SHOP TRANSFER 

Customers who purchase firearms or NFA items directly from us will have priority and are not subject to a transfer fee. Contact us to schedule a day and time that works best for you. 

PURCHASES FROM OTHER FFLS

We will happily receive firearms purchased from other FFLs or online dealers and facilitate the transfer for you. The fee for transfers is $40 per 4473 (background check form). That means we will transfer up to 3 firearms at a time for the same price! 

You do not need to contact us prior to having a firearm shipped to us. Once we receive the firearm, we will process it within 5 – 7 days (usually quicker) and contact you to schedule an appointment for completing the paperwork and background check. Transfers will only be done for the individual listed on the order paperwork.

If our licenses aren’t on file with your dealer, they can be found here: FFL, SOT.  

DELAYS, DENIALS, AND APPEALS FOR TRANSFERS 

It is the responsibility of the transferee to know if they are legally eligible to possess a firearm, receiver, etc. before making any online firearm purchase. It is also your responsibility to know and understand the return policy of the online dealer you have made a purchase from. 

Should a transferee be delayed by the NICS background check system, the firearm(s) will remain in the possession of GY6 Arms.  

A delayed message means the FBI needs to do additional research to verify the transferee’s background. If the FBI cannot make a determination (proceed or deny) within 3 business days of a background check, GY6 Arms will transfer the firearm per the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993. 

Should a transferee be denied by the NICS background check system, the firearm(s) will remain in the possession of GY6 Arms. It is the responsibility of the transferee to arrange for the firearm to be returned to the original seller. The transferee must contact us within 7 days to provide a shipping label, pay the $40 transfer fee, and any other packaging/shipping fees that may be applicable before the firearm is returned.  

GY6 Arms will provide the transferee with a NICS resolution card outlining how to request the reason for denial or how to challenge the denial. Those resources can also be found online below: 

• FBI NICS Resolution Card 
• FBI Firearm-Related Appeals and Voluntary Appeal File 

While it is possible to challenge a denial, GY6 Arms will not hold firearms during that process. All firearm purchases/transfers that are denied need to be returned to the original seller. If, for any reason, you are unable to send the firearm back to the original seller, GY6 Arms may offer you up to 50% of the MSRP for the firearm(s). 

NFA TRANSFERS

We transfer suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBS), and Any Other Weapon (AOWs). 

The fee for NFA transfers from other FFLs or manufacturers is $100 per item. This fee includes filing the electronic ATF Form 4, fingerprints, photos, and secure storage of the item.  

The transfer fee does not include the cost of the tax stamp, trust (if not filing as an individual), Responsible Person Questionnaire (RPQ ATF Form 5320.23) if adding additional people to the trust, or a copy of the electronic fingerprints, or photos. 

NFA items are not subject to the same abandonment rules as they take a painfully long time to be approved. 

ABANDONED FIREARMS AND OTHER PRODUCTS 

If firearm(s) remain in our pocession for more than 14 days after the date of delivery, they will incur a storage fee of $20 per day. The accumulated fees must be paid to pick up the firearm(s). After 30 days of the delivery date, the firearm(s) will be considered abandoned and become property of GY6 Arms. 

If any other products outside of firearms remain in our procession for more than 30 days after delivery date, they will be considered abandoned and become property of GY6 Arms.
