Private Party Transfers
Do we do them? Absolutely!
So here's the disclaimers;
The transfer fee is preferred to be paid in Cash or Debit. Credit Cards will lose the 3% cash discount. Checks are never accepted.
*NOTE*
If you have more than seven (7) firearms to transfer at one time you will need to make an appointment. Appointments are Wed-Fri at 10am. Appointments are booked on a first come, first serve basis and cost $31, which will apply to your transfer fees. This deposit is non refundable. If you are more than ten minutes late we will cancel your appointment and your deposit will NOT be refunded to you. Private transfers are very time consuming and having extra staff here early to accommodate you is not free, so we ask that you respect our time and show up prepared and on time.
*SELLERS if your buyer does not pass their background check you must initiate and pass a background check and wait the 72 hrs per HB23-1219 before picking your firearm back up.
*Firearms MUST be picked up with two (2) weeks or you will accrue storage fees at a rate of $1 per day until the background check expires (30 days after it is initiated). After 90 days of no contact the firearm(s) will belong to Springs Armory with no payment due to customer. By initiating a background check with Springs Armory you are agreeing to these terms.
So here's the disclaimers;
- The transfer can only be done in the store and both parties as well as the firearm being transferred must be present.
- A background check must be performed on the buyer, so the buyer must bring a *valid copy of buyer's DL with current address.
- The seller of the firearm should also bring a current Government issued ID along with any paperwork etc that they have related to the firearm being transferred.
- The firearm being transferred must be present at the time of transfer.
- If the firearm includes a standard capacity magazine over 15 rounds, it will be necessary to make it Colorado compliant. A standard capacity magazine over 15 rounds will incur an additional fee of $2-$8 per magazine on top of our standard Private Party transfer fee.
- The Firearm must be a firearm that can legally be transferred in the state of Colorado. *Must be a rifle, handgun, receiver, or shotgun (NFA items such as SBR's, SBS's, and silencers follow a far different process for transferring)
- On November 27th, 2024, the state of Colorado ruled that ALL persons must be at least 21 years of age to purchase ANY type of firearm.
- The seller can only transfer a firearm that legally belongs to them.
- If background check takes longer that 24hrs and the buyer fails, the seller will have to do a background check to pick up the firearm since it was in store overnight.
- *PLEASE NOTE* As of October 1st, 2023 All background checks for firearms will be put into a 3 DAY DELAY (Thank your local government for that lovely change). This will require that ALL private party transferers will have to leave the firearm at our facility, which means if the buyer (person taking possession of the firearm) fails the background check, the seller (transferer) will be legally required to pay for and pass a background check for the firearm to be released back to the seller.
