What is an FFL transfer?
Ship It Here. Pick It Up Local.
When you buy a gun online — from GunBroker, an out-of-state shop, or a friend across the country — federal law says it can’t ship straight to your door. It has to go to a licensed dealer (an FFL) near you, who verifies your eligibility and completes the transfer in person.
That’s where we come in. Foxhound Firearms is a federally licensed dealer in Maitland, and receiving your online purchase is one of the most common things we do. You send us the item, we log it in, you come by with your ID, we run the background check, and you walk out with your firearm — usually in one quick visit. No membership, no pressure to buy anything else, and a flat $25 fee whether it’s a pistol or a rifle.
The process
How an FFL Transfer Works
Buy your firearm
Purchase online or from any out-of-state seller. At checkout they’ll ask for your receiving dealer’s FFL.
Send them our info
Give the seller our name and address — Foxhound Firearms, 131 Candace Dr, Maitland, FL 32751 — or call us at (321) 316-4385 and we’ll send our FFL directly to them.
We receive & log it
Your firearm ships to us. We inspect it, log it into our bound book, and text or call you the moment it’s ready to pick up.
Come in with your ID
Bring a valid Florida driver’s license or ID. You’ll fill out the ATF Form 4473 and we run the background check right at the counter.
Take it home
Once you’re cleared and any Florida waiting period is satisfied, the firearm is yours. Simple, legal, done.
Before you come in
What You’ll Need for Pickup
- A valid, unexpired Florida driver’s license or state ID with your current address.
- If your ID address is out of date, bring a supporting document (vehicle registration, voter card) showing your current Florida address.
- Be a Florida resident to take home a handgun (long guns can be transferred to out-of-state buyers to their own local FFL instead).
- You must be able to legally pass a background check — no disqualifying record under federal or Florida law.
- A little time. Most transfers wrap up in 15–20 minutes at the counter once the item is in.

Common questions
FFL Transfer FAQ
How much does an FFL transfer cost at Foxhound?
A flat $25 for a handgun or a long gun. If you have more than one firearm coming in the same visit, call us at (321) 316-4385 for a discounted multi-item rate.
Is there a waiting period to pick up my gun in Florida?
Florida law imposes up to a 3-day waiting period on firearm purchases, including transfers, measured in business days. There are exemptions — for example, holders of a valid Florida Concealed Weapon License are generally exempt. We’ll tell you exactly what applies when you come in.
Can you receive a gun I bought from a private seller in another state?
Yes. Federal law requires that a firearm sold across state lines go through an FFL in the buyer’s state. The out-of-state seller ships it to us, and we complete the transfer to you here in Maitland with the standard background check.
Do I have to be a Florida resident?
To take home a handgun, yes — federal law requires handgun buyers to receive them in their state of residence. Long guns are more flexible, but out-of-state buyers are generally transferred through an FFL in their own home state. Bring a valid Florida ID showing your current address.
What do I bring to complete the transfer?
A valid, unexpired Florida driver’s license or state ID with your current address. If the address is outdated, bring a supporting document (like a vehicle registration) showing your current Florida address. You’ll fill out ATF Form 4473 at the counter.
How will I know when my firearm is ready?
We log your item into our bound book the day it arrives and contact you right away by phone or text. You don’t need an appointment to pick up during business hours (Mon–Fri, 10am–6pm), though a quick call ahead never hurts.
What happens if my background check is delayed?
Occasionally NICS returns a “delayed” status rather than an immediate proceed. If that happens we’ll hold your firearm securely and let you know as soon as we’re cleared to release it. There’s no extra charge for a standard delay.
Can you also transfer suppressors or other NFA items?
Yes. Foxhound is an SOT/NFA-capable dealer, so suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and other NFA items can be transferred through us. See our NFA & suppressors page for how that process works.
Do you sell firearms too, or only do transfers?
Both. We’re a full gun shop with handguns, rifles, shotguns, ammo, and accessories, plus on-site gunsmithing and Cerakote. Browse the shop or stop in.
