Many people like to purchase firearms off the internet. It can be a great way to get hard to find firearms and sometimes can even save you money on new guns. If you decide to purchase a firearm off the internet you will need a FFL (US!!!) to help you with the purchase. We charge $10.00 per gun for this service. Guns can only be transfered inter-state by licensed firearms dealers. Basically here is how it works.
1. Shop the internet to find the gun you want. Make sure when you are looking at prices you add in shipping fees and transfer fees. (We charge $10 per gun for transfers). If you decide you want to buy off the internet, proceed with the purchase. You will pay the seller directly for the firearm and the shipping. We have nothing to do with this.
2. At some point during the purchase you will have to provide the seller with information on the company that will be handling the transfer for you. This is who they can legally ship the firearm to. This would be My Favorite Gun Store. The seller will need a copy of our FFL. You can simply contact us via email and we will email you a copy of our FFL. You then provide the seller with this information. It is YOUR responsibility to provide a copy of our FFL to the seller. So please email us and we will promptly email you a copy of our FFL... then how you get it to the seller is up to you.
3. The seller ships the firearm to My Favorite Gun Store. (Please let us know when something is on its way. We love it when guns show up unexpectedly but we would prefer to know what will be showing up and who it's for BEFORE they actually arrive.)
4. Once we have the firearm, we will contact you and arrange a time to complete the transfer. You come to our store, fill out the appropriate paperwork (Form 4473) and we then transfer (give) the gun to you. You will pay us $10.00 per gun for this service. You will also need to pay an additional $7.50 for a NICS background check. (If you have a CFP you NEVER have to pay this NICS fee.)
5. You walk out the door with your gun!
Again, transfers and internet purchases are quick and easy to do, but you do NOT always save money doing it. You can expect to pay $15 - $35 for shipping and then the $10 fee to us to deal with all the paperwork. Usually it is cheaper to buy new guns directly from us. However, some old or difficult to find guns are much easier to get off the internet. Also used guns are readily availble from the internet. Just make sure you do your homework and know exactly what you are getting. If you have any questions, please contact us and we will help you through the process. Most sellers of firarms off the internet have a quick easy system and they also know what they are doing and can help you also. The only thing you really need from us is the copy of our FFL.
