A "FFL" is a Federal Firearm License. There are currently over 58,000+ FFL holders nationwide. FFL holders are commonly gun stores, pawn shops, and retail sporting goods stores. However, there are also many individuals that hold a FFL. All firearms sold to individuals online must be shipped to a local FFL holder who will then transfer the firearm (via ATF form 4473 and associated background check) to the individual or, if suppressor, will help with and complete required paperwork with the individual.

No, suppressers and firearms must be shipped to an FFL who has the appropriate licenses.

You can simply choose a FFL from our list, or we can add FFL to our list by simply having them email us a copy of their FFL to thefiringedge@gmail.com. Please communicate with your chosen FFL prior to completing your purchase with us. You will want to ask for their approval of the transfer as well as their transfer fee.

Although the transfer fee varies widely among the 58,000+ FFL holders nationwide, the average fee tends to be around $30. For their exact transfer fee, please contact your chosen FFL directly.

Firearms - It is solely the customers responsibility to thoroughly inspect the firearm(s) at the FFL prior to accepting the transfer. If there is a noticeable defect of any kind to the firearm, or associated case/contents, please simply refuse the transfer and we will arrange to have the firearm returned to us, at our expense, and issue the customer a full refund or replacement firearm if available. If the customer accepts the transfer from the FFL, we can then only refer the customer to the manufacturer for warranty consideration.

Accessories - ALL accessories found to be defective immediately upon receipt, must be returned to The Firing Edge 525 Thain Rd, STE:A, Lewiston, ID 83501 for refund or replacement. Please contact us at 208-816-9824.
