What is a Federal Firearms License?

Interstate trade or commerce of firearms or ammunition was all but prohibited after the Gun Control Act of 1968. Only individuals or companies with a Federal Firearms License can engage in manufacturing or selling firearms across state borders. This requirement becomes complicated when dealing with online sales of guns and ammo, which is why we are happy to offer this service to our clients.

If you purchase a gun online, it is required by law that the purchaser have that firearm transferred to a dealer with a Federal Firearms License. The dealer will then run a background check to ensure that the person purchasing the firearm is able to legally own a gun.

Once we receive the shipment of the firearm, we will inspect and log the product accordingly. We will then promptly notify the buyer to come and complete the mandatory background check. The buyer will pay the FFL transfer fee per gun and once approved (by the government), the firearm is now legally his or hers. For all Class 3 NFA transfers, the fee is only $100 per item.
