How It Works

The FFL Transfer Process

A standard incoming transfer is simple — the only thing we need from you up front is to know the firearm is on the way.

01

Email Us

Email us at customdefensefirearms@gmail.com or ltran@customdefensefirearms.com so we can send our FFL to the seller/shipper.

02

We Receive It

Your firearm arrives at our shop. We log it into our bound book and notify you that it's ready for pickup.

03

Come In to Pickup

Bring your ID, fill out your 4473, and we run your background check through NICS. Most clear instantly.

04

Take It Home

Once NICS clears, pay the transfer fee and walk out with your firearm. Fast, friendly, by the book.
