Bay Silah complies with all local, state, and federal laws with respect to the sale of firearms. We are an authorized FFL Dealer and will only ship firearms to other authorized FFL Dealers for pickup. We will not ship to individual homes. We do not ship firearms and ammunition to the following states (AK, CA, CT, HI, IL, MA, NJ, NY and DC). At time of pickup we or your authorized FFL Dealer will verify identification and run all checks that are needed to comply with local, state, and federal laws. All products sold are compliant and legal within the United States.

Transferring Your Firearm

When you arrive at your chosen FFL dealer, INSPECT THE FIREARM THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE TRANSFER PROCESS. Once the transfer process is complete, the gun is yours and may not be returned.

1.       If upon inspection you see that the gun is defective, leave the gun with the dealer and contact us as soon as possible, preferably before you leave the dealer. We will work with the dealer to have the firearm returned to us at no cost to you or the dealer.

2.       If you wish to proceed with the transfer, follow the dealer's instructions for completing Firearms Transaction Record (Form 4473).

3.       Wait a few minutes while the dealer calls in the FBI background check.

4.       If you pass the background check, follow the dealer's instructions for completing the transfer.

5.       If you live in a state that requires a waiting period before you can take possession of the gun, the waiting period begins after you pass the background check. If you live in a state that does not require a waiting period, you may take your new gun home with you.

Things to Keep In Mind

  • It is YOUR responsibility to know the laws in your area regarding the purchase, transfer and ownership of firearms.
  • Unless you are positive that your chosen FFL dealer will process your transfer, you should contact them BEFORE placing your order. Ask if they will accept the shipment and process your transfer. You should also ask how much they will charge for the transfer. You are responsible for paying the transfer fee.
  • Be sure to INSPECT THE FIREARM THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING THE TRANSFER. Once the transfer process is complete, the gun is yours and may not be returned for any reason. If you encounter problems with your firearm after the transfer is complete, you must contact the manufacturer for warranty and repair issues.
  • If you fail the background check, we will deduct the return shipping cost from your refund.
