Firearm Transfer Services
Straightforward FFL transfers, done by the book.
Whether you’re buying a firearm online, transferring between dealers, or moving something for a family member, we handle firearm transfers with the same standards we bring to our builds and armory work: clear, compliant, and efficient.
We keep the process simple—no games, no surprises. You’ll know what to expect, what to bring, and what it will cost before the paperwork ever hits the bench.
We accept incoming transfers from licensed dealers, assist with outbound shipments to other FFLs, and can facilitate in-store background checks when required by law.

How Firearm Transfers Work
If you’ve never done an FFL transfer before, the process is straightforward. Here’s what it looks like:
- Ask the Seller to email to admin@4warmory.com to start the process.
- The Seller and 4W Armory will exchange their respective FFLs and/or SOTs.
- The Seller ships the item(s) to 118 S 2nd St., Normangee, TX 77871.
- We accept the package and will contact you letting you know when you can pick up your items.
- You'll have to complete ATF Form 4473 and pass the background check.
- We'll collect a transfer fee at the register and you're all good to go.
All transfers are subject to federal and state eligibility requirements. We reserve the right to decline any transfer that appears unlawful or unsafe.
What to Bring for a Transfer
Showing up prepared keeps your transfer moving and cuts down on time at the counter.
- Valid government-issued photo ID – Typically a current North Carolina driver’s license with your correct address.
- Concealed carry permit (if applicable) – Not required, but may help verify eligibility in some cases.
- Order information – A copy of your order confirmation or invoice so we can match the firearm to you quickly.
- Payment for transfer fees – Transfer fee and any applicable taxes due at pickup.
If your address has recently changed, or you’re unsure which documents you need, contact us before you place an order so we can walk you through it.
