What does an FFL transfer cost?
An overview of typical FFL transfer fees.
FFL transfer fees vary by dealer, typically ranging from $20–$75 per firearm. GatSwap partner FFLs display their transfer fee upfront in the FFL directory.
In a GatSwap trade, each party pays the transfer fee at their chosen FFL — the buyer pays at their FFL, and the seller pays at theirs (if the seller is also receiving a firearm in the trade). Transfer fees are not paid through GatSwap; they're paid directly to the FFL at pickup.
Other potential costs
- Shipping: GatSwap generates shipping labels through licensed carriers. Shipping cost varies by firearm weight and distance (typically $30–$60).
- State fees: Some states charge additional fees as part of the transfer process (e.g., California's DROS fee).
