FFL Transfers

What is an FFL Transfer?

An FFL (Federal Firearms License) is required for the legal transfer of firearms between licensed dealers and individuals. If you purchase a firearm online or from an out-of-state seller, it must be shipped to an FFL holder (like Modern Warriors) to complete the transfer and background check in accordance with federal and state laws.

How FFL transfers work at Modern Warriors

1. Have the Firearm Shipped to Us: The preferred way to ship a serialized item to Modern Warriors is from another licensed FFL. On occasion, Modern Warriors will accept transfers from individuals, however you must receive prior approval before having a transfer sent in this way. Please email customerservice@modernwarriors.com if this applies to you.

2. Transfer Fees: Pricing varies depending on location. Please see detailed charts below.

3. Complete the Transfer In-Store: Bring a valid government-issued ID and be ready to complete ATF Form 4473 for your background check. Only the person named on the transfer paperwork can legally complete the transfer.

4. Background Check & Firearm Release: We will release the firearm only after receiving a “proceed” on your background check. No exceptions.

What’s Needed on a Firearm Transfer

To avoid delays or rejected shipments:

• Include your full name and contact info with the firearm

• Ensure the firearm is shipped from a valid FFL dealer

• Firearm must be serialized

• Bring a valid government-issued photo ID at pickup

• You Must Be the Purchaser: The person named on the invoice or transfer paperwork must be the one to complete the transfer.

• Background Check Required: A background check must result in a “proceed” before any firearm is released. We do not release firearms on a delay or without clearance.

60-Day Transfer Window

Firearms must be picked up within 60 days of arrival. If no ATF Form 4473 is completed within that time, the item is considered abandoned and becomes the property of Modern Warriors.

All ATF approved NFA items (suppressors & SBR’s) must be picked up within 60 days of notification of the approved Tax-Stamp. Any NFA items not picked up within the 60 day period will result in the cancellation of the approved Tax Stamp and the NFA item will then will be considered abandoned and will become the property of Modern Warriors.
