ADDITIONAL SHIPPING & HANDLING POLICIES:
AMMUNITION sales are FINAL – Returns cannot be accepted for ammunition. All Transferable Machine Guns are shipped for a flat fee of $100.00 + actual shipping costs and additional 2% of the value of the item if you want your item insured. All items sent via FedEx Ground to a licensed Class 3 Dealer of your choice. All other firearms and suppressors are shipped for a flat fee of $25.00 + actual shipping costs via UPS Ground.
Your dealer will send us the proper paperwork for this first transfer, we prepare and fax the Form 3 transfer to BATF immediately, and then once the transfer clears BATF we ship the gun to your dealer. Your in-state dealer then prepares Form 4 paperwork, which you will sign and also have signed by the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in your locale (Sheriff, Chief of Police, State Police Chief, etc… only need for one to sign). You return the completed Form 4’s to the in-state dealer, along with (2) passport size photos, (2) fingerprint cards, (1) citizenship authorization, and a transfer tax check made payable to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms for the one-time per item transfer tax. A $200.00 transfer tax applies to Short BBL Shotguns, Short BBL Rifles, Machine Guns and Suppressors; a $5.00 transfer tax applies to items classified as Any Other Weapons – “AOW”. This paperwork is mailed to BATF and when this transfer clears you go pick up your gun. We email/contact our customers each step of the way, so you will know when your gun arrives in state and the next transfer, from your dealer to you, can begin.
