Firearm Transfers

Firearm transfers can be conducted in multiple ways including person-to-dealer, dealer-to-dealer, Gun Broker or similar online websites, intrafamilial, and operation of law. If you have a unique type of transfer, feel free to contact us with questions.

$50 for stripped lowers
$10 for private party transfers (includes credit card fee)
CA sales tax is applied to all transfer fees. You may also be subject to sales tax on the total cost of the item you are transferring in. An invoice from the seller is required so that we can determine whether or not tax has been paid. For more information click here.

What are Dealer Record of Sale (DROS) Fees?
$31.19 – California background Fee

Transfer fees only apply when you buy a gun from another dealer/person and you have it transferred to us to complete the paperwork. The DROS fee is applied to every sale or transfer; including PPT.

All transfers are conducted by appointment only, typically on Friday and Saturday mornings. Pickups can usually be conducted Monday through Saturday. The best way to contact us and receive a fast response is via email. If you call during the week, expect a call back by Friday. If you need a call back sooner, request it via email. Thank you.
