What to expect
After placing your order, send us the order details and tracking number when available. All incoming firearm shipments must come from a licensed FFL dealer. We will monitor the shipment, notify you when it is ready, and schedule your appointment.
After ordering, send us your name, phone number, email address, seller or dealer information, order number, firearm description, and tracking number when available. If the seller needs our FFL information, let us know and we will coordinate with them.
The firearm must be shipped by a licensed FFL dealer after receiving our FFL information. We do not accept firearm shipments directly from private individuals.
Once the firearm arrives, TommyGuns Transfers inspects the shipment and records it as required. Please do not schedule pickup based only on the carrier's delivery notice.
We will let you know when the firearm is ready and arrange a private pickup appointment. All visits are by appointment only, with no walk-ins.
At your appointment, you complete ATF Form 4473 in person and present valid government-issued photo identification showing your current residential address.
TommyGuns Transfers submits the required Pennsylvania Instant Check System check. The firearm is released only after approval and completion of all required paperwork.
Your appointment
Your documents must identify you and establish your current residence. If your photo ID does not show your current address, contact us before the appointment so we can confirm acceptable supplemental documentation.
A current government-issued photo ID, such as a Pennsylvania driver’s license or identification card.
Government-issued supplemental documentation may be required when the address on your photo ID is not current.
The person receiving the firearm must complete the forms truthfully for themselves. Never purchase or receive a firearm for a prohibited person.
Simple pricing
Transfer fees apply only to firearms purchased elsewhere and transferred through TommyGuns Transfers. Firearms purchased directly from TommyGuns Transfers do not have an additional transfer fee. Applicable taxes, shipping, PICS charges, and government fees are separate.
Face-to-face sales
For a private-party transfer, both the buyer and seller should attend the scheduled appointment with valid Pennsylvania identification. Bring the firearm unloaded and secured.
The buyer completes the required paperwork and PICS check. The firearm is transferred only after approval and satisfaction of all applicable requirements.

A carrier’s delivery notice does not mean the firearm is ready for pickup. We must receive, inspect, and record it first. We will contact you when it is ready and ask that you arrange pickup within seven days of notification.
