Bud's should insist on having a copy of the tranferring dealers FFL before they ship anyway.

If they have one for Gander Mountain, then GM may be able to do the transfer for you, as Bud's probably would not have a copy of their FFL otherwise.

If they don't have an FFL on file, then they'll be in touch with you to have one sent.

By then, you should know if you need to designate another ship to location.

In the future, line up your transfer dealer first. There are threads here that list dealers for different areas. You can also go to Gunbroker's site and use their dealer lookup function to find a nearby dealer.

Then, when you purchase a gun online, you inquire whether they have an FFL on file for your dealer. If yes, all is fine. If not, then you contact your transfer dealer and request they send a copy to the selling dealer.

So you've jumped the gun, but it should be salvageable.
