Compliance focused
Washington firearm transfer requirements now involve additional

State Patrol background-check processing and required waiting periods.

Not Sure Where To Start?
Match the transfer to the situation.
The simplest way to choose is to identify where the firearm is coming from, where it is going, and whether the transaction involves an NFA-regulated item.
Purchased elsewhere and shipping here?
Choose an incoming FFL transfer when another seller or dealer will ship the firearm to us for your pickup.
Sending a firearm to another dealer?
Choose an outgoing FFL transfer when we need to ship your firearm to the receiving dealer.
Buyer and seller are both private parties?
Choose a private-party transfer so the required paperwork and buyer background check can be completed.
Suppressor, SBR, or another NFA item?
Choose an NFA transfer and review the additional federal paperwork requirements before scheduling.
