What Is an FFL Transfer?
FFL stands for Federal Firearms License. An FFL is issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to businesses that are licensed to engage in certain firearm-related activities.
An FFL transfer generally involves a firearm being transferred to a customer through a licensed firearms dealer. The dealer receives the firearm, completes the required transfer documentation, conducts the required background-check process, and releases the firearm when all applicable requirements have been satisfied.
At Arkadelphia Pawn & Gun, we provide FFL transfer services for customers who need a local licensed dealer to facilitate an eligible firearm transfer.
Firearms Purchased Online
Buying a firearm online is different from purchasing one directly from a local gun store.
When an online firearm purchase needs to be transferred to you through an FFL, the firearm must be shipped to an appropriate licensed dealer.
If you purchase a firearm online and want it transferred through Arkadelphia Pawn & Gun, contact us before placing the shipment or have the seller/dealer coordinate the transfer with us.
Once the firearm arrives, we can process the transfer according to applicable requirements. You will need to complete the required paperwork and background-check process before the firearm can be released.
Before Ordering a Firearm Online
Before completing an online firearm purchase, we recommend:
- Confirming that the firearm can legally be transferred to you
- Contacting us to confirm that we accept the transfer
- Confirming our current transfer fee
- Providing the seller or dealer with the information needed to coordinate the shipment
- Making sure the name on the shipment and transfer information is accurate
This can help prevent delays or problems when the firearm arrives.
Firearms Shipped From Another Dealer
If another licensed firearms dealer is shipping a firearm to Arkadelphia Pawn & Gun for you, please have the sending dealer coordinate with us before shipping whenever possible.
We can provide the information the sending dealer needs to arrange the transfer. Once the firearm arrives, we will contact you when it is ready for the transfer process.
The firearm cannot simply be picked up when it arrives. The recipient must complete all required transfer procedures before the firearm can be released.
