Transfers at Dunham's Sports 9288, asked and answered
Does Dunham's Sports 9288 do FFL transfers?
No. Dunham's does not facilitate third-party transfers. You will need another dealer in Ames; the table above lists the closest ones.
Is there a cheaper FFL near Ames?
Sportsman's Warehouse 120 is 24 miles away and charges $50. That is the cheapest nearby dealer with a fee on record, not the cheapest that exists: most dealers have no published number at all.
What do I need to bring to pick up a firearm?
A government photo ID with your current address, and whatever Iowa requires on top of the federal Form 4473 and the NICS check. The dealer runs the paperwork at their counter; the seller ships to them, not to you.

A federal firearms licence is not an endorsement, and licensees are not required to accept transfers from third parties. This listing comes from the ATF August 2026 licensee list. Fees are reported by buyers, change without notice, and are not a quote. Call before shipping anything. Licensees who operate from a home and want this address taken down can ask us to remove it.
