New MD Law and Federal Instructions

As of March 13, 2021, Marylanders are no longer able to transfer unregulated guns (i.e. rifles/shotguns that aren't on the banned list) between private parties and will need to go through an FFL.

This new law sucks and I don't think that the govt needs to be involved in private transactions between individuals but as an FFL, I will facilitate compliance with this new law

If you don't like this law, vote against the people who enacted it!

Here are the BATFE guidelines for this and the SB208 text.

Facilitating Private Sales: A Federal Firearms Licensee Guide

SB208

Instructions

Determine if the long gun is regulated / banned (all pistols and stripped AR lowers are regulated per MDSP Advisory)

Here are the MSP instructions on determining if a long gun is regulated

Both the transferror and transferee need to request (via the email address at the bottom of this page) that Accuforge facilitate a private party transfer and agree with Accuforge on an appointment date/time to come for the transfer.

Transfer cost is $50 (cash) or $25 (cash) for NRA, MSI, GOA, SAF, or BRGC members [if you own firearms you should support protecting our 2A rights]

I prefer for both parties to be present at the transfer. If the firearm is left in my possession, the original owner will need to have a background check if the transfer is CANCELLED or DENIED. Please refer to the Facilitaing Private Sales document for a description of all possible outcomes and procedure. There is a flowchart from this document at the bottom of this page also.

I usually respond to emails quickly (within hours). If it has been over 24 hours since you emailed me about a transfer then please try again ckc [AT] accuforge [DOT] com.

Transfer Policies (Please actually review these)

• It is the transferee's responsibility to obtain a valid email address and contact information for the Transferror.
• It is the transferee's responsibility to make sure that the Transferor ships to the correct SHIPPING ADDRESS (if applicable).

  SHIPPING ADDRESS ONLY
  Accuforge
  1121 Annapolis Road #369
  Odenton, MD 21113
  

• In the event of a DENIED NICS check response, Accuforge will only transfer to another FFL or return to the seller/transferror at the transferee's expense. Under no circumstances will another person be allowed to pick up the firearm as this may constitute an illegal STRAW PURCHASE.
• In the event of a DELAYED NICS check response, the seller/transferror will retain possession of the firearm until the Brady Transfer date or until a PROCEED or DENIED response is received or a transfer CANCELLATION. If PROCEED is recevied or the Brady Transfer date is reached, both parties must then return to the premesis address to complete the transfer. If this is an issue, we can talk.
• In the event that the shipment is damaged, Accuforge will bear no responsibility for damage or delays that happen outside of its control.
• Any firearm that is not picked up within 1 week of receipt may incur an additional $25 / week storage fee payable prior to transfer. Let me know if there are special circumstances and I'll do my best to make acceptable arrangements.
• Firearms sent to Accuforge without prior communications / approval will incur an additional $100 fee
• Firearms or other items shipped to Accuforge without prior communications and no contact for 60 days will be considered forfeit as unordered merchandise.
• Buyer / Transferee must have a gun lock for pickup of a new firearm. Every new firearm comes with one. (or I can sell you one at low cost $5)
• If in doubt about the legality of a firearm you want to transfer, then email me the manufacturer and complete model number before making a purchase.
• Address on the Buyer / Transferee's govt issued ID must match current address (and address on 4473 form)
• Magazines >10 rounds - If I receive a firearm with a >10 round magazine, I cannot transfer it within MD or send it to a MD resident at another state address. In the event that it's an AR or Glock type magazine, I'll swap it for a 10 round magazine if I'm asked in advance. Otherwise, no swap / compensation will be available.
• All transfers are to be picked up by appointment in Odenton, MD (subject to NICS check)
• Appointment times are usually 5-7pm Weekdays or Weekends
