A firearm transfer, simply speaking, is the change in possession of a firearm from an FFL to another FFL or a person/customer (non-FFL). The person or entity receiving the gun is the transferee. FFL stands for “Federal Firearm License”.
Magazines that hold more than 10 rounds will have to be blocked if they are transferred in Maryland. There is a $10 service fee per magazine to block them. Magazines are blocked to hold 10 rounds or less. Due to variance in magazines, there is no guarantee how many rounds the repaired magazine will hold. Certain uncommon magazines may cost more, or may even be impossible to block, depending on certain factors.
Benchtop Gunsmithing must be notified of all transfers before they are sent. We will send our FFL to any other FFL holder, but we must be provided with an e-mail address.
If you have purchased a firearm from an individual*, please have them include the following information when shipping the firearm:
*As they are a non-FFL holder, we will not email them a copy of our FFL
We will contact you to let you know the firearm has arrived and is ready to process paperwork for pick-up. Please make sure to bring your Drivers License (or State issued I.D.) and Handgun Qualification License (HQL) (if it is a regulated firearm).
