How Firearm Transfers Work
When you purchase a firearm from an online retailer, auction site, out-of-area dealer, or other seller, the firearm generally must be shipped to a licensed Federal Firearms License holder for transfer. Raven Rock Armory can receive the firearm, enter it into our records, and complete the transfer after all required paperwork and background-check requirements are satisfied.
The person completing the transfer must be the actual lawful purchaser. A firearm cannot be transferred to another person unless the transaction is permitted by law and completed through the required process.

Inspect the Firearm Before Transfer
Inspect the firearm before completing the transfer. Confirm the manufacturer, model, caliber, finish, condition, serial-numbered item, and included accessories.
Do not complete the transfer if the firearm is incorrect, visibly damaged, or materially different from what you ordered. Contact the seller and Raven Rock Armory before accepting the firearm.
Once the firearm has been transferred, the sale is generally final. Mechanical or manufacturing concerns discovered after transfer are normally handled through the manufacturer’s warranty or service department.
Before Your Firearm Ships
Before the seller ships the firearm, confirm that Raven Rock Armory has been selected as the receiving FFL and that the shipment will contain enough information to identify the purchaser and order.
Confirm the Receiving FFL
Confirm that the seller is shipping the firearm to Raven Rock Armory and has received any required FFL information.
Include Buyer Details
Ask the seller to include the buyer’s full name, phone number, email address, and applicable order, invoice, or auction information.
Arrival, Processing & Pickup
Carrier delivery confirmation does not necessarily mean the firearm is immediately ready for pickup. Incoming firearms must first be received, inspected, matched to the purchaser, and entered into the required records.
Please wait until Raven Rock Armory contacts you and confirms that the firearm is ready before visiting the store for transfer.
NFA & Class III Transfers
Suppressors and other NFA-regulated products require additional paperwork, approvals, waiting periods, and fees. Contact Raven Rock Armory before arranging an NFA or Class III transfer.
Unclaimed or Untransferable Firearms
Firearms that cannot be transferred, are refused, or remain unclaimed may be subject to storage, handling, return-shipping, or other applicable fees.
