Firearm purchasers

Moore's Hillje Auction is a Federal Firearms Licensee or FFL.   All persons wishing to purchase a firearm must complete form 4473 and pass a background check to take possession of the firearm.  If you are an FFL, LTC or CHL holder, you do not have to pass a background check with presentation of that license, but must complete a form 4473.  Copies will be made of the license and will be filed with the form 4473. In the event there is an issue with the background check, we will discuss how it will be handled on an individual basis. Should you receive a Deny on the background check, you will not receive possession of the firearm and must pay for it.  Moores will resale the firearm at the next auction and you will receive the proceeds from that sale. Pistols cannot be transferred to out of state customers, the pistol will have to be transferred to another FFL in the home state and that FFL will transfer the pistol to the buyer.
