Transfer FAQ
What is an FFL transfer?
When you buy a gun online or from someone out of state, it can’t ship straight to your house. It ships to a licensed dealer (an FFL) who logs it in, has you fill out ATF Form 4473, runs the background check and then hands it over. WTFS can be that dealer for you in San Angelo.
Can I buy a gun online and have it shipped to you?
Yes. Buy from the online retailer, auction site or distributor of your choice, pick WTFS as your receiving FFL, and we’ll handle the transfer here in San Angelo.
How do I get a gun shipped to WTFS?
1) Contact us first so we know it’s coming. 2) Buy the gun and choose West Texas Firearms & Supplies as your FFL. 3) Have the seller request a copy of our license at [email protected] if they don’t already have it on file. 4) Send us your name, the seller and tracking number. 5) When it arrives we’ll call you to set up pickup, paperwork and the background check.
How does the seller get a copy of your FFL?
Have the seller email [email protected] and we’ll send a copy of our license directly to them. Many large online retailers already have dealers on file and will simply ask you to choose one.
How much do you charge for a transfer?
Call or email for the current transfer fee before you order so there are no surprises when you pick up.
Can a private person ship me a gun through you?
Often, yes, but carrier rules differ between handguns and long guns and between licensed and unlicensed shippers. Call before anything ships and we’ll explain how the sender should package and send it.
I bought a gun from a private seller in another state. Can you do the transfer?
Yes. Under federal law, a private sale between residents of different states has to go through a licensed dealer in the buyer’s state. Have the seller (or their local FFL) ship it to WTFS and you’ll complete the transfer here.
How soon can I pick up my gun after it arrives?
Once it’s received and logged, we’ll contact you to set a time. Texas has no state waiting period, so if your background check comes back with a proceed, you can usually take it home the same visit.
