Start a transferWhat to expect
From purchase to pickup
Contact us before the firearm ships. All incoming firearm shipments must come from a licensed FFL dealer. We will coordinate with the dealer, notify you when it is ready, and schedule your appointment.
The seller ships the firearm
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.
We receive and record it
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 contact you
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.
Complete the paperwork
At your appointment, you complete ATF Form 4473 in person and present valid government-issued photo identification showing your current residential address.
PICS check and pickup
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
What to bring
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.
Valid photo identification
A current government-issued photo ID, such as a Pennsylvania driver’s license or identification card.
Current address documentation
Government-issued supplemental documentation may be required when the address on your photo ID is not current.
The actual buyer
The person receiving the firearm must complete the forms truthfully for themselves. Never purchase or receive a firearm for a prohibited person.

Wait for our message.
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.
