At RiflesStore.com, we make firearm ownership safe, simple, and fully compliant with all applicable laws. Below you’ll find everything you need to know about FFL (Federal Firearms License) transfers and when they apply to your order.


โœ… What Is an FFL Transfer?

An FFL transfer is the legal process of transferring a firearm from a licensed seller (like RiflesStore.com) to a licensed dealer near you, who will then complete the background check and hand off the firearm to you in person.


๐Ÿ”ซ When Is an FFL Required?

  • Required for:
    โžค Handguns and rifles shipped within the United States
    โžค Firearms that are federally regulated and cannot be shipped directly to the buyer

  • Not Required for:
    โžค Certain rifle parts, upper receivers, accessories, or ammunition
    โžค Select international shipments, where firearms are legally allowed to ship direct (subject to local laws)
    โžค Firearms we legally offer through direct purchase (non-FFL) โ€” clearly marked on the product page


๐Ÿ“ฆ How the FFL Transfer Process Works

  1. Place your order on RiflesStore.com

  2. Choose your local FFL dealer (we can help you find one)

  3. We ship your rifle to that FFL dealer

  4. Youโ€™ll complete a background check and paperwork with your local dealer

  5. Pick up your firearm after clearance is complete


๐ŸŒ International Orders

We do ship to Europe and other international destinations, where local regulations permit. Please check your local firearm laws before ordering. For select countries, FFL or dealer involvement may not be required.
