We use secure digital Form 4473 software for all transfers. This helps protect your information, reduce paperwork errors, and make the transfer process more efficient.

HOW THE TRANSFER PROCESS WORKS

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. This does not apply to LoneStar Handgun’s 4473-only suppressor process.

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.

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.

Walk-in suppressor pickups will not be completed.

Certain qualifying suppressors may currently be transferred through Form 4473 without a Form 4, depending on the purchase source, customer eligibility, and requirements in effect at the time of transfer.

CURRENT 4473-ONLY SUPPRESSOR PROCESS

At this time, LoneStar Handgun is accepting qualifying suppressor transfers through the 4473-only process from:

Silencer Shop
Palmetto State Armory (PSA)

To use LoneStar Handgun's current 4473-only suppressor process, the customer must also be a current member of either Gun Owners of America (GOA) or the Texas State Rifle Association (TSRA).

These are LoneStar Handgun's current policies and reflect the process we are comfortable with at this time.

These requirements may be more restrictive than the minimum requirements under federal law and should not be interpreted as requirements imposed by Silencer Shop, Palmetto State Armory, GOA, or TSRA.

As we receive additional information and guidance, we will update our eligible purchase sources and process accordingly.

PICKUP PROCESS (4473-ONLY):

1. Purchase Your Suppressor

Purchase your qualifying suppressor through Silencer Shop or Palmetto State Armory.

2. Verify Membership

You must be a current member of GOA or TSRA to use LoneStar Handgun's current 4473-only suppressor process.

3. Select LoneStar Handgun

Select LoneStar Handgun as your receiving FFL/dealer.

4. Wait for Your Suppressor to Arrive

Once the suppressor arrives at LoneStar Handgun, we will log it into our inventory.

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

5. Schedule Your Appointment

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

Suppressor pickups require a scheduled appointment.

6. Complete the Transfer

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

7. Take Your Suppressor Home

Once all applicable requirements have been satisfied and the transfer is approved, you can take your suppressor home.

ELIGIBILITY

LoneStar Handgun will verify eligibility when the suppressor is transferred.

Our current requirements include:

The suppressor must be purchased through Silencer Shop or Palmetto State Armory.
The customer must be a current member of GOA or TSRA.
The suppressor must qualify for the current 4473-only transfer process.
All applicable Form 4473, background-check, identification, and transfer requirements must be satisfied.

Meeting these requirements does not guarantee that a transfer will be completed.

LoneStar Handgun will make the final determination based on applicable law, federal guidance, and our transfer procedures in effect at the time of pickup.

FORM 4 TRANSFERS

Suppressors that do not qualify for LoneStar Handgun's current 4473-only process must continue through the applicable Form 4 process.

At this time, LoneStar Handgun continues to process SBRs, and SBSs through the applicable Form 4 process unless we determine that another lawful transfer procedure applies.

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.

Our current Silencer Shop and Palmetto State Armory purchase-source requirements and GOA/TSRA membership requirement are LoneStar Handgun policies and reflect the process we are currently comfortable accepting.

As additional information and implementation guidance becomes available, we will update our process and eligible purchase sources.

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.

If you have questions about whether your suppressor qualifies for our current 4473-only process, contact LoneStar Handgun before purchasing or shipping the item to us.
