| Charge | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FFL Transfer Fee | $30 | + TN sales tax |
| Tennessee Background Check (TICS) | $10 | Pass-through to State of TN — not taxable |
The $30 transfer fee is subject to Tennessee sales tax. The $10 background check fee is collected on behalf of the State of Tennessee and is not subject to sales tax. Payment is due at pickup — cash, debit, or major credit card.
We're a working firearms shop, not a storage facility — counter space is at a premium. To keep things moving for everyone, we have the following pickup policy:
- 14-day grace period. You have 14 days from arrival to come pick up your transfer. We'll make multiple efforts to reach you using the contact information your seller provided.
- After day 14: storage and audit fee. Transfers not picked up within the grace period accrue a fee of $0.50/day + tax, in addition to the regular transfer fees above.
- After 6 months: forfeiture. Any transfer not picked up within 6 months will become the property of Clarksville Guns & Archery.
If something is going to delay your pickup, just call us at (931) 802-8912. We're reasonable people — communication solves almost every problem.
For active-duty service members on deployment, we will hold transfers beyond the 14-day grace period when notified in advance. If you're deploying or expect to deploy while a transfer is in transit, let us know your expected return date before — or upon — the firearm's arrival.
If you do not have a Tennessee driver license or TN Handgun Carry Permit with your current address, please bring:
- A copy of your orders bringing you to Fort Campbell, and
- If you live off-post: a utility bill or vehicle registration connecting you to your off-post address.
Active-duty service members with PCS orders to Fort Campbell have dual TN/KY residency status and can buy and transfer firearms (including NFA items) through our Clarksville location regardless of which side of the state line your off-post residence is on.
If you're transferring in an NFA item that you bought from another dealer or another individual, the transfer fee is $125. This includes your Silencer Shop kiosk fingerprinting and Form 4 processing through the ATF eForms system.
For the full NFA process — how Form 4 works, current ATF wait times, the difference between buying through us vs. transferring in, individual vs. trust ownership, and the recently-eliminated $200 federal tax stamp — visit the dedicated NFA page.
The dealer will need a copy of our FFL to ship your firearm:
- Contact us at (931) 802-8912 or email sales@clarksvillegunsandarchery.com — we'll send a copy of our FFL directly to them.
The person shipping you the firearm can send it directly to our address. They should include in the package:
- A copy of their government-issued photo ID, and
- Your contact information (name, phone, email) so we can reach you when it arrives.

Valid Government-Issued Photo ID — Tennessee driver license, state ID, military ID, US passport, or other qualifying ID. The name and address on your ID must match your current residence.
Tennessee residents: Your TN driver license or state ID is all you need. TN Handgun Carry Permit holders may also use their permit as supplemental ID.
Out-of-state residents: Long guns (rifles and shotguns) can be transferred to residents of any US state. Handguns can only be transferred to Tennessee residents — if you're not a TN resident, the handgun must be transferred through an FFL in your home state.
