FFL Transfers in Watertown, Wisconsin

How a Watertown FFL transfer works

Bought a firearm online from GunBroker, Bud's Gun Shop, PSA, Palmetto, Brownells, GrabAGun, or another out-of-state seller? Wisconsin federal law requires the gun to ship to a licensed FFL dealer in your state for the background check and pickup. That's us.

1. Send us the FFL info. Give the seller our name, address, and FFL number. We can email a copy of the license straight to them if needed.
2. We receive your firearm. Once it lands at the shop, we log it in and call or email you the same day.
3. You stop in to pick it up. Bring a valid Wisconsin ID. We walk you through the ATF Form 4473 and run the background check on the spot — most pickups done in 20–30 minutes.

Private-party transfers (sales between Wisconsin residents)

Wisconsin does not legally require a background check on private-party long-gun or handgun sales between residents, but many sellers and buyers want one anyway for peace of mind. We handle private transfers — you and the seller meet at the shop, we run the 4473 and check, and the firearm changes hands legally and on the record.

FAQ

What does a transfer cost? Call 262-343-2329 for current rates — they're fair and posted in-store.

How long does it take to get my gun once it ships? Once carrier marks it delivered, we usually have it logged and you notified the same day.

What if my background check is delayed? Federal law: dealers may transfer after three business days if FBI hasn't responded — we'll work with you.

Can I have it shipped to my house? Not legally if you're buying from another FFL out of state — it has to go through a Wisconsin FFL like us.
