BrauerTree Firearm Transfers

Firearm Transfer Process

1. Purchase and FFL Selection

  • Purchase the firearm of choice on your favorite online store.
  • Select Timothy Brauer (see address below, if necessary) for your FFL to ship the firearm. Some stores will have the FFL file on file already; some will require me to send it to them.

2. First visit

  • When the firearm arrives, call or text to set up an appointment.
  • Bring your state ID to the appointment.
  • You'll fill out the ATF eForm 4473 on my laptop.
  • If you have a valid North Carlina CCW Permit, you'll skip to step 5.

3. Background Check

  • All transfers require a background check unless you have a valid North Caroline CCW Permit.
  • If you require a background check, this can take a couple of days to go through.
  • Background checks are done through the NICS system.

4. Pickup

  • Once the background check is complete, I'll contact you, we'll set up an appointment and you can pick up your firearm.
  • Make sure to bring your state ID.
  • Sign the ATF Form 4473 and any other required paperwork.

5. Payment

  • Payment is due at the time of transfer.
  • At this time, you'll sign the eForm 4473.
  • Cash, Venmo, or Zelle are accepted.
