Transfers

PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE PURCHASING AN ITEM FOR TRANSFER

Federal law requires that any purchase of a firearm from out of State be completed at a licensed firearms dealer (FFL) and a NICS background check complete.

If you are doing a private sale, person to person, with both parties in the store, you will purchase and pay for the service in store at the time of the transfer.

Due to NYS S9458 which went into effect on September 4th, 2022, semi automatic rifles can only be transferred to individuals who possess a NYS Semi Automatic Rifle License. Acquiring one of these licenses varies by your county of residence. Please see your local pistol licensing agency for details.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT INCOMING TRANSFERS FROM INDIVIDUALS. ALL ITEMS MUST BE SHIPPED FROM FFL TO FFL.

If you need to transfer in a firearm purchased from or through an out of State dealer or brokerage (i.e. gunbroker) please select one of the following:

If the item is NOT carried by DSI, please select "FFL Transfer / NICS Background Check - Non Inventory"

If the item IS carried by DSI whether it's in stock or not, please select "FFL Transfer / NICS Background Check - Stock". The additional fee is to offset our cost of carrying inventory in the store and to deter "showrooming" which is persons visiting the store, asking questions, seeing an item in person and then ordering it online to save a few dollars.

For Target Sports USA AMMO+ Members, we now offer Free Transfers on Ammunition. Please still continue to fill out the form on the "Ammunition Transfer - Target Sports USA - AMMO+ Members" page.

If you are looking to have ammunition transferred, please select "Ammunition Transfer"

These services are ONLY for serialized firearm transfers. If your shipment includes other items (i.e. stocks, uppers, grips, parts kits), a $25.00 handling fee plus the applicable NYS sales tax amount will be assessed.

IF YOU ARE NOT ACTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT, YOUR FIREARMS / MAGAZINES MUST BE COMPLIANT WITH THE NY SAFE ACT. ALL MAGAZINES MUST BE 10 ROUND CAPACITY OR LESS. NON-COMPLIANT FIREARMS AND MAGAZINES WILL BE RETURNED AT YOUR EXPENSE OR TURNED OVER THE THE POLICE. ATTEMPTING TO TRANSFER THESE ITEMS WILL RESULT IN FORFEITURE OF YOUR TRANSFER FEE.

COMPLETE LOWERS MUST BE NY COMPLIANT TO BE TRANSFERRED. WE WILL NOT TRANSFER NON-COMPLIANT COMPLETE LOWERS TO NON-LAW ENFORCEMENT CUSTOMERS. NO EXCEPTIONS. WE WILL ALSO NOT REMOVE PARTS TO MAKE SOMETHING COMPLIANT.

EFFECTIVE JULY 6TH, 2022, WE WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT MOSSBERG SHOCKWAVES, REMINGTON TAC-14'S OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR NON-NFA "FIREARM" FOR TRANSFER DUE TO NYS S9456. IF YOU HAVE ONE SENT IN, IT WILL BE RETURNED TO THE DEALER AT YOUR COST.
