FFL Transfers

Auburn Hills Arms LLC offers Firearms Transfers for customers in the Washington County, Utah areas which includes Saint George/St George, Washington, Santa Clara, Ivins and Hurricane. Of course you may have a firearm sent to us from an online FFL dealer for a transfer even if you are not in these cities. We are located in the Desert Color community in St George, Utah (right off of I-15).

Your online store/FFL dealer will need a copy of our Federal Firearms License (FFL) in order to ship the firearm(s) to us. Many online retailers may already have our FFL on file, ready to ship to us, such as GunBroker.com, Palmetto State Armory, Sportsman’s Guide, MidwayUSA, Primary Arms, AimSurplus and Classic Firearms and many more!

Once the online retailer ships your order to us and we receive your order, we will contact you to schedule a time for a firearm transfer.

Please do not arrive without first hearing from us and arranging a time/day for the transfer.

Please understand that I do this in my free time and this is not my full-time work. I’m usually very prompt and flexible on timing and communicating but priority goes first to my work responsibilities and personal life. You will receive professional and top-tier service. Thanks! – Kev
