What to Expect During an FFL Transfer
If you’re new to buying firearms online, the FFL transfer process can feel confusing at first. But once you understand how it works, it’s actually very straightforward.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what to expect.
Step 1: Purchase Your Firearm
When you place an order online, you’ll select a local FFL dealer where your firearm will be shipped.
This is typically:
- A gun store
- A licensed dealer
- Or a range with transfer services
Step 2: Shipment to FFL
We ship your firearm directly to the selected FFL dealer.
You’ll receive tracking and updates so you know when it arrives.
Step 3: Background Check
Once your firearm arrives, you’ll go to the FFL location and complete:
- Required paperwork
- Background check
This step is handled in person.
Step 4: Pickup
After approval, you take possession of your firearm.
That’s it.
