All Transfer Types · $50 Per FirearmBought a gun online or out of state? Selling to a friend? We handle the federal forms, the state forms, the NICS background check and every Massachusetts AG disclosure — there is a lot of paperwork involved, and we do all of it.
Our fee covers everything: receiving your firearm, processing it, filling out the state and federal forms, calling in the NICS background check, going over the Attorney General's Consumer Protection disclosures (for handguns), and recording the transaction per ATF rules. There is a lot of work involved in doing a transfer correctly — this is all of it, for one flat fee.
Selling a firearm to a friend or buying one from a private party? Massachusetts requires the transfer be done properly. Both parties come in, we verify licenses, run the paperwork and the background check, and everyone leaves with a clean, legal record of the sale.
Sending a firearm to a buyer or dealer in another state? Call the shop and we'll walk you through the options. Worth knowing: federal law allows an individual to ship a firearm directly to a federally licensed dealer — via UPS or FedEx, but not the United States Postal Service for handguns.
$50 per firearm — all transfer types. That includes the state and federal forms, the NICS background check, the Attorney General's Consumer Protection disclosures for handguns, and ATF-compliant recording of the transaction.
A valid Massachusetts License to Carry (LTC) for handguns, or an LTC/FID as appropriate for long guns. For person-to-person transfers, both buyer and seller come in with valid licenses.
No — it must be Massachusetts compliant. Handguns must satisfy both the Approved Firearms Roster and the Attorney General's regulations, or be properly exempt. Call us at (781) 932-3133 before it ships; if it arrives non-compliant, we're required to send it back.
Just call the shop — we'll send our Federal Firearms License directly to the dealer shipping your firearm. Then make sure your name and daytime phone number are inside the box.
We call you the same day your package arrives — that's why we ask for your daytime phone number in the box.
Call the shop and we'll walk you through it. Federal law also allows an individual to ship a firearm directly to a licensed dealer — via UPS or FedEx, but handguns may not go through the US Postal Service.
One phone call confirms your firearm is MA compliant before it ships — and saves everyone a headache.
