Transfer of a Firearm or Magazines
Banned in Washington.
We are no longer accepting transfers of firearms included in the ban or magazines exceeding ten round capacity. If we receive a firearm affected by the ban it will be your responsibility to arrange a return to the originator of the firearm. Magazines above ten round capacity will be removed. You can either arrange and pay for them to be shipped out of state or they will be destroyed. All assessed fees are non-refundable.
WCAN will assist you in returning the item(s) but you or the originator will be responsible to provide a pre-paid return label and cover any additional costs involved in returning the firearm.
This must be done as soon as possible. If the firearm is still in our possession after 30 days, our standard storage fees will apply. After 120 days the item will be deemed abandoned.
Private Firearms Transfer (Shipped from a private party)
Fee: $50 for one firearm
$100 for two to three firearms in the same shipment.
Commercial Firearms Transfer (Shipped from an FFL dealer)
$100 per NFA item.
Person-to-Person Private Transfer (Walk-in)
Fee: $75 per firearm (This requires extra paperwork
on our end.)
Washington state requires us to collect Use Tax on all transfers from an out-of-state FFL dealer unless there is documentation that WA state sales tax was already paid.
You bought a gun online… now what?
Step One:
a) If you are buying from a commercial seller, have the seller contact us at proshop@westcoastarmorynorth.com
to request a copy of our FFL.
b) If this is a private sale or transfer the seller must include a legible copy of their driver’s license in the box with the firearm. (No seller’s driver’s license = we cannot transfer the firearm to you.)
Step Three:

Civic Armory NW
Step Four:
Wait for our call. You WILL NOT be able to pick up the firearm on the same day we receive it. We need one working day to enter it into the FFL system. You will be able to begin the WA state Firearm Transfer Application the day after we receive it. We will call you to come in and begin the process.
