Firearm Transfers

Please note that we do not accept transfers from Black Market Arms, Classic Firearms or Atlantic Firearms.

Tyler Firearms will help you take possession of a new or used firearm as quickly and easily as possible, even if you don't purchase it from us. Firearm transfers are done whenever our retail store is open for business - no appointment is necessary. We will help you complete all the necessary paperwork and conduct whatever background checks are required by law.

NOTE: This page is our official transfer price list. We will not honor any other website's transfer fees.

If you are transferring a handgun, it MUST be listed on the Maryland Handgun Roster. If it is not listed, and the handgun is shipped to us, it will be returned to the sender without being transferred to you. Feel free to contact us to verify your gun is legal for transfer in Maryland.

 

  • NFA TRANSFERS: We do not participate in the silencershop.com kiosk or dealer program and do not offer fingerprint or passport photo services in our store. We have partnered with 1A Fingerprinting next to us that provides these services. Please check wtih them for office hours and pricing.
  • We only accept firearms for transfer. We will not accept ammunition or accessories on your behalf. These items will be returned to the seller at their expense. Please place seperate orders for these items.
  • We will only accept out-of-state firearm transfers from licensed firearms dealers (FFL). We do, however, accept face-to-face individual transfers in the store. If you wish to purchase a firearm from an out-of-state individual, they must ship it through their local FFL (gun store).
  • If a transfer firearm (bought from somewhere else) is left untransferred for greater than thirty (30) days with no contact from you, it will be returned to the seller at your expense.
  • It is a violation of Maryland State law to purchase a handgun without already possessing a Handgun Qualification License (HQL). DO NOT purchase a handgun online and have it shipped to us, even if you are waiting for your HQL to be approved. We will return it at your expense if you do not have your HQL.
  • If you decide to return your transfer firearm prior to taking possession of it, there is a $40 fee plus any applicable shipping charges to return the firearm to the seller.
  • If you think you are prohibited from owning firearms, check with an attorney or conduct your own background check prior to purchasing a firearm online. If you do not pass the background check, we charge a $50 background check denial fee and the gun will be returned to the seller at your expense.
  • If you attempt to purchase a firearm online with the intent of giving it to someone who is prohibited from possessing firearms (straw purchase), we will report the incident to local, state and federal law enforcement officials and assist with your prosecution to the fullest extent allowed by law. See the "Don't Lie for the Other Guy" website for more details on straw purchases. A straw purchases carries a federal prison sentence of up to 15 years.
