Follow all laws

Comply with federal, Montana state, and local firearms laws. When in doubt, transfer through an FFL.

Never share bank credentials, social security numbers, or ID scans over chat.

FFL Transfers

How FFL transfers work

A Federal Firearms License holder is a licensed dealer who can legally receive, hold, and transfer firearms. Using an FFL keeps transfers compliant, especially across county or state lines.

  1. 1
    Find a local FFL

    Both buyer and seller pick an FFL dealer they trust. Many charge $25–$50 per transfer.

  2. 2
    Ship or hand off to the FFL

    The seller ships or delivers the firearm directly to the receiving FFL.

  3. 3
    Buyer completes Form 4473

    At pickup, the buyer completes ATF Form 4473 and passes a NICS background check.

  4. 4
    Take it home

    Once approved, the buyer takes possession. All records stay with the FFL for compliance.
