Five Easy Steps to Ship and Transfer a Firearm:

  1. Find a licensed FFL dealer in your area.
  2. Contact the dealer to request an inbound firearm transfer from Deputy Big Shot. Be sure to confirm their FFL transfer policies and fees.
  3. Arrange the transfer directly with your local FFL dealer. (We do not arrange the transfer).
  4. Instruct your dealer to provide a copy of their FFL to Deputy Big Shot (click here).
  5. Once you have selected a local FFL for your transfer, please provide us with their name and phone number, either on your order or in a follow up email. Please include your ORDER NUMBER in any correspondence you or your FFL may send us.

We recommend locating a local FFL dealer to transfer your gun before you place your order. However, you can place your order first and then provide us with your FFL dealer info before we ship. We will hold your order for about 7 business days to give you time to locate a dealer and arrange a transfer. If you encounter any problems or special circumstances, please contact us here. We will be happy to address your concerns.

Please take your time to inspect all firearms thoroughly BEFORE proceeding with the transfer. Once a new firearm is transferred to you it is considered used, even if unfired. Consequently, we cannot provide a full refund for new firearms once they have been transferred into your possession. Once you accept the transfer, the gun is considered used and must be returned directly to the manufacturer for warranty repair or replacement.
