Transfers
We are your hub for transfers! With years of experience and extended hours you can be assured your firearm will be taken care of quickly and carefully.
How does it work?
Online
When purchasing a firearm online, list Anglers as your FFL. Then fill out the form below so that we can send a copy of our FFL for shipment. When the gun arrives we will give you a call to come fill out the paperwork. Your gun must be shipped from another valid FFL.
You may get a notification that the gun has been delivered, but please allow time for us to process it. We will call you as soon as it is ready.
Please do NOT have your gun shipped United States Postal Service. Doing so will delay our receipt of your gun.
Maryland law does not allow us to transfer magazines with a capacity of more than 10. If your gun comes with a higher capacity magazine, we can pin it to a capacity of 10 rounds or less for a fee of $5 per magazine.
*Anglers is not liable for any damage to magazines during the pinning process.
ARs must be Maryland Compliant. Click here for more information.
Due to recent ATF regulation changes we cannot transfer braced firearms.
Private Party Transfers
Transferring a firearm between two Maryland residents is an easy process. See our Gun Center staff for details.
