Locating an FFL Dealer

Use our FFL Locator in checkout to find FFL dealers in your area. If you already have a local dealer that you have previously used for firearms transfers and you don’t see them on our list, please contact us at 1-844-754-8671., and our Customer Service Representative will work with you to get them set up in our system.

Unless you are positive that your chosen FFL dealer will process your transfer, you should contact them BEFORE placing your order. Ask if they will accept the shipment and process your transfer. You should also ask how much they will charge for the transfer. You are responsible for paying the transfer fee.

Delivery

If your firearm was shipped to a Rural King store, please allow 24 hours for it to be checked in and for the store to call you and tell you it is ready to be picked up. If you have not been contacted by your RK store within 24 hours, please call them to inquire about the status of your firearm. If your firearm was shipped to another FFL dealer, please call them to inquire about the status of your firearm.

Waiting Periods, Paperwork and Fees

When you pick up your gun, you will be required to complete the Firearms Transaction Record (Form 4473) and pass the FBI background check. If you fail the background check, you will be responsible for paying the return shipping costs plus a 20% restocking fee.

Most dealers charge a nominal fee to transfer a firearm. The process of transferring a firearm from the dealer to the buyer usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

Some states have waiting periods that begin when the transfer process is complete. Other states do not have waiting periods and allow the buyer to take possession of the firearm as soon as the transfer process is complete.

Steps to Transferring Your Firearm

When you arrive at your chosen FFL dealer, INSPECT THE FIREARM THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE TRANSFER PROCESS. Once the transfer process is complete, the gun is yours and may not be returned to Rural King.

If upon inspection you see that the gun is defective, leave the gun with the dealer and contact us as soon as possible, preferably before you leave the dealer. We will work with the dealer to have the firearm returned to Rural King at no cost to you or the dealer.

If you wish to proceed with the transfer, follow the dealer’s instructions for completing Firearms Transaction Record (Form 4473).

Wait a few minutes while the dealer calls in the FBI background check.

If you pass the background check, follow the dealer’s instructions for completing the transfer.

If you live in a state that requires a waiting period before you can take possession of the gun, the waiting period begins at this point. If you live in a state that does not require a waiting period, you may take your new gun home with you.

Returns on Firearms

Once the firearm has leaves a Rural King store or FFL dealer, the firearm cannot be returned. Be sure to INSPECT THE FIREARM THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING THE TRANSFER. Once the transfer process is complete, the gun is yours and may not be returned to Rural King for any reason. If you encounter problems with your firearm after the transfer is complete, you must contact the manufacturer for warranty and repair issues.
