I normally request half, then the other half once transfer is completed. Just get everything in writing/ screenshots. What's he gonna do, take your money and not transfer you the restricted firearm? Easiest case for the police to solve. But this goes both ways so personally I feel he's being unreasonable.

If it’s a gun you really want and he isn’t budging on 100% upfront, then agree to that and he can hold onto the frame (firearm) while the transfer is processed. But you take everything else. Literally the slide, barrel, Magazine, heck you’d even be entitled to the grips and trigger.

If somehow the transfer doesn’t go through the seller can surrender whatever is left to police to get it out of his name and he already has the money so 0 risk to him.
