Auction & Non Dealer Sales
If you see a firearm on a auction website or for sale out of state, you cannot import that firearm into the state unless that firearm goes through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). With few exceptions, all firearms transactions in the State of California must be processed through a FFL dealer. Ten Percent Firearms will accept firearms that you have already paid for from auction, estate sales, or private parties. This is especially helpful if you find a gun in the classified adds or on an online auction.
Contact us with the address, phone number, and fax number of the seller and we will send them our FFL so they can send us your firearm. This pricing will not be honored with any other type of FFL dealer as that undercuts our pricing programs. Proof of auction, estate, or private sales receipt might be necessary for this service. Contact us if you have any questions.
It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that all handguns are on the Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale and make absolutely sure that the firearm you are importing is listed by exact model number and that the caliber and barrel lengths match the descriptions on the certified list. If the handgun is not on the list, it cannot be DROSed.
Gunsmithing
We do not offer gunsmithing services at this time. In the future we might offer gunsmithing services or give you the contact information of a gunsmith we trust.
Private Party Transfers
A Private Party Transfer (PPT) is any firearms transaction between two private parties and must be conducted with both parties coming to our store location. The fees for PPTs are $25 for DROS and a state mandated $10 fee for Ten Percent Firearms ($35 total). PPTs are not transactions between Ten Percent Firearms and any other FFL dealer whether in or out of state or a private party and Ten Percent Firearms.
