FFL Dealers in Michigan
1,731 federally licensed firearms dealers across Michigan, from the ATF’s published licensee list. Pick a city for names, addresses and phone numbers.

Another 1,233 Michigan dealers are in towns with fewer than 8 licensees each, so they do not have a page of their own. Search by ZIP code to find those.
Doing the transfer itself
A dealer handles the background check. The bill of sale, both parties’ records and a permanent copy of the paperwork are what Gun Transfer does — $50 flat, about ten minutes.
