Damascus Outdoors

Damascus Outdoors operates as Maryland's go-to FFL for firearms transfers. They handle both new and used firearms, provided they're Maryland-compliant—which means knowing the handgun roster, pre-1985 manufacturing dates, and integrated mechanical safety device requirements.

The process is straightforward:

1. Arrange the transfer - Call or email Damascus Outdoors with your purchase details 2. They send their FFL - Your seller receives the FFL license and ships the firearm 3. You receive notification - Damascus Outdoors calls when your gun arrives and is processed 4. Complete paperwork - Bring valid Maryland photo ID and required documentation 5. Take possession - Background check approval for long guns; HQL + form 77R for handguns

Important: Transfers are held for 45 days. After that, storage fees apply at $5/day until the fee reaches the gun's value.

Damascus Outdoors enforces Maryland's strict regulations:

• •Handguns must be on the Maryland Handgun Roster OR manufactured before 1985
• •Post-2002 firearms require an integrated mechanical safety device
• •High-capacity magazines arrive? Choose: firearm without magazine, or pay $30 to have up to 3 magazines blocked to 10-round capacity
• •Handgun transfers require a valid Maryland HQL (Handgun Qualification License)

Need to transfer a gun to another FFL holder? Damascus Outdoors handles outbound transfers at $50 per firearm plus shipping costs.

While they accept FedEx shipments, Damascus Outdoors isn't responsible for packages lost or undelivered outside business hours. Make sure your seller includes their FFL copy, your name, and phone number with the shipment.
