FFL TRANSFERS

Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered! In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to complete a firearm transfer smoothly and efficiently.

Step 1: Gather Required Information

To facilitate the transfer process, we will need to gather some essential information, including:

• Your personal details (name, address, contact information)
• Details of the firearm you intend to transfer (make, model, serial number)
• Any pertinent documentation related to the firearm (purchase receipt, ownership documents)

Having this information readily available will streamline the transfer process and ensure everything moves smoothly.

Step 2: Arrange for Firearm Shipment

Once you’ve coordinated with Carolina Gun Brokers/Shallotte Gun and gathered all the necessary information, you’ll need to arrange for the shipment of the firearm to their location. Ensure that you comply with all federal and state laws regarding the shipping of firearms to avoid any legal complications.

Step 3: Visit Carolina Gun Brokers/Shallotte Gun for Background Check

Once the firearm has been delivered to our location, you will need to visit Carolina Gun Brokers/Shallotte Gun to complete the transfer process. Below are the fees required for the firearm transfer:

• For handguns/revolvers:  $25 per transfer with Concealed Carry Permit, $40 per transfer without Concealed Carry Permit
• For rifles, shot guns, or lower receivers:  $25 per transfer with Concealed Carry Permit, $40 per transfer without Concealed Carry Permit

Transfer fee is still required regardless of background check status or return/refund of the firearm.

Step 4: Complete Transfer Paperwork

During your visit at Carolina Gun Brokers/Shallotte Gun, you will undergo the required background check as per North Carolina state law. Once the background check is completed, and all necessary paperwork is processed, the firearm will be transferred to you legally.

Step 5: Take Possession of the Firearm

Once all paperwork is completed and the background check has been approved, you will be able to take possession of the transferred firearm.  If you are delayed on the background check for any reason, you will be notified once we have the approval and can schedule another day to pick up your firearm.   

Transferred items not picked up within 60 days of arrival will begin to incur a $50 storage fee monthly. After 6 months if the item remains not transferred, it will be surrendered to Carolina Gun Brokers/Shallotte Gun and sold to cover the pending storage fees.
