GOOD TO KNOW
Transfer FAQ
What is an FFL transfer?
When you buy a firearm online or from a private or out-of-state seller, federal law requires it be shipped to a licensed dealer (an FFL) near you to complete the sale. We’re your local FFL — we receive the firearm, run the required background check, and hand it over to you.
How much does a transfer cost?
A flat $30 per firearm for both gun and internet transfers. No hidden fees or surprise charges.
Where do I have my firearm shipped?
Have the seller ship it to our shop with our FFL on file. Reach out before you order so we can send our FFL to the seller and keep an eye out for your package.
What do I need to pick it up?
A valid Pennsylvania photo ID and successful completion of the required background check (ATF Form 4473 and a PA PICS check). Handgun buyers must be 21+, long-gun buyers 18+.
How long does pickup take?
Once your firearm arrives and we log it in, pickup usually takes about 20–30 minutes, pending the background check.
Do you handle NFA items (suppressors, SBRs)?
Yes — but NFA transfers involve extra paperwork and processing time. Give us a call or stop in and we’ll walk you through it.
My package is late or arrived damaged — what now?
Let us know right away. We inspect every transfer on arrival and will help you coordinate with the seller or carrier if anything looks off.
