HOW THE TRANSFER PROCESS WORKS (FIREARMS & SUPPRESSORS)

1. Contact Us Before Your Firearm Ships

Email FFL@LoneStarHandgun.com with:

• Your name
• Contact information
• What you purchased
• Who you purchased it from
• The seller's email address

2. We Provide Our FFL

If the seller does not already have our FFL on file, we will send a copy of our FFL directly to the dealer you are purchasing from.

3. Wait for Our Pickup Notification

Once your firearm arrives and has been logged into our inventory, we will text you with instructions to schedule your pickup through our online scheduling system.

*A UPS or FedEx delivery notification does NOT mean your firearm is ready for pickup.

*Transfers are processed in the order they are received.

4. Bring the Required Identification

A valid Texas driver's license or Texas ID showing your current physical address is required for incoming transfers.

*Active-duty military personnel stationed in Texas may present a valid government-issued photo ID, military ID, and current PCS orders establishing their Texas duty station. Additional government-issued residency documentation may be required depending on the documents presented.

*A valid Texas LTC may allow us to complete a standard firearm transfer without conducting a separate NICS background check when all federal requirements for the permit exception are satisfied.

5. Complete Your Transfer

At your scheduled appointment, you will complete the required Form 4473 using our secure digital system and complete the applicable background-check requirements.

6. Background Check Denials

If a transfer is denied, the customer is responsible for the applicable transfer fee and any shipping charges required to return the firearm to the original seller if the seller does not cover those costs.

PRIVATE-PARTY TRANSFERS

$40 per firearm transferred.

Call us to schedule a private-party transfer.

Shipments from non-licensees must include a legible copy of the sender's valid state-issued photo identification and the recipient's contact information.

Shipments received without the required documentation may be refused or returned at the sender's or recipient's expense. If a lawful return cannot be completed, the firearm will be handled in accordance with applicable law.

AMMUNITION & ACCESSORIES

Ammunition and accessories shipped to LoneStar Handgun as part of an incoming transfer are subject to the applicable transfer fee.

STORAGE OF FIREARMS

Customers have 30 days to pick up their transferred firearm after we receive the firearm. After 30 days you will be charged a fee of $1.70/day.

NFA item customers have 30 days to initiate the Form 4 and 30 days after Tax stamp is received before storage fee is charged.

After 180 days any products left unclaimed or not paid for the item(s) will be considered to be abandoned.

SUPPRESSOR TRANSFERS

Suppressor Transfer - $40 (Regardless of LTC status)

*Customers who order through Silencer Shop will not be charged a transfer fee.

Suppressor pickups require a scheduled appointment. Customers arriving more than 15 minutes outside their scheduled appointment time will be charged an additional $20 and may be required to reschedule. *For pick up steps, please refer to the above transfer process.

Walk-in suppressor pickups will not be completed.

Suppressors may currently be transferred through Form 4473 without a Form 4. Please contact us if you would still like a Form 4.

FORM 4 TRANSFERS

At this time, LoneStar Handgun will continue to process Suppressors, SBRs, and SBSs through the applicable Form 4 process, when necessary.

For applicable Form 4 transfers, we utilize Silencer Shop to assist with the electronic Form 4 process.

Form 4 Process

• Log in to your Silencer Shop account.
• Have your ATF eForms username and PIN available, or create them through ATF eForms.
• Contact LoneStar Handgun when you are ready to certify your eForm 4.
• Complete the certification process.
• Wait for ATF approval before taking possession of the item.

While waiting for ATF approval, you may be able to check out your NFA item and use it on our range.

You cannot take the item home until the Form 4 has been approved and all applicable transfer requirements have been completed.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

LoneStar Handgun’s 4473-only suppressor process is based on current federal court orders and the information presently available to federally licensed dealers.

Eligibility and transfer requirements will be determined based on the law and procedures in effect on the date of transfer.

LoneStar Handgun reserves the right to require the traditional Form 4 process when eligibility cannot be verified or when required by applicable law or guidance. *Updated: October 28, 2026
