MD FIREARM TRANSFER SERVICES

Gunslinger's Guns charges the following non-refundable fees for firearm transfer services:

• Regulated Items $25* + $10 Fee Due to Maryland State Police 
• Non-Regulated Items $25*

*Fire Responders receive a $5 discount off the transfer service fee

Payment for services is due at the beginning of processing.  Payment is accepted via cash, debit card, or credit card.  Fees are non-refundable in the event the transfer cannot be completed for any reason.

“First Responder” includes a firefighter, law enforcement officer, paramedic, emergency medical technician, or other individual (including an employee of a legally organized and recognized volunteer organization, whether compensated or not), who, in the course of his or her professional duties, responds to fire, medical, hazardous material, or other similar emergencies with a Valid ID

Gunslinger's Guns will only transfer Maryland legal firearms to an eligible party.  All firearms must be  Maryland compliant.  

If you are attempting to transfer a handgun, ensure you hold a valid Maryland HQL license (unless active/retired military or MD/Federal law enforcement officer)

Maryland compliant handguns must be listed on the  Maryland Handgun Roster (or be manufactured prior to 1985). Maryland State Police has an online firearms search feature located here.

If you attempt to transfer a firearm into or in Maryland that is not compliant,  you, as the proposed transferee are responsible for all return shipping costs to the Seller.  If you do not know if a gun is Maryland legal, we highly recommend you contact the  Maryland State Police. Transfer fees paid are non-refundable.

 After we accept your transfer, Gunslinger's Guns will e-mail the Seller a copy of our FFL license. 

• If the Seller is Firearms Dealer, they will ship the firearm to us for you to pick up.  It is  your responsibility to make sure the Seller ships out your firearm.
• If the Seller is private party in Maryland, we will make arrangements with the Seller via contact information provided in Step 4.
