What is an FFL transfer?
FFL stands for Federal Firearms License. An FFL transfer is the process in which a licensed firearms dealer receives a firearm from another seller and handles the required paperwork and background check before transferring it to you.
You can use VTSA as your receiving dealer. Choose or request Virginia Tactical Shooting Academy when you purchase from an online retailer, and our team will coordinate with the selling business.

Select or request VTSA
When purchasing a firearm from an online retailer, select Virginia Tactical Shooting Academy as your receiving FFL dealer. If we are not listed, request us through the retailer’s transfer process or contact our team for help.
We coordinate with the retailer
Our business and the selling business will correspond to arrange the transfer and exchange the necessary dealer information. The retailer then ships your firearm to VTSA.
Allow time for arrival and processing
After your firearm arrives, our team must receive and process it. A carrier’s delivery confirmation does not mean your firearm is ready for pickup.
Wait for our pickup notification
A VTSA associate will contact you when your firearm has been processed and is ready for the pickup visit. Please allow us time to process your transfer and do not attempt to retrieve your firearm before an associate has reached out.
Complete your transfer in store
Once contacted, visit VTSA to complete the required paperwork and background check and pay the transfer fee. Your firearm can be released after approval and completion of the transfer requirements.
A cleaner firearm.
One less thing on your list.
Range days leave their mark. Carbon, fouling and everyday buildup deserve more than a quick wipe. Let VTSA handle the detailed cleaning so your firearm gets the attention it deserves.
We strip, clean, polish appropriate surfaces, lubricate and reassemble your firearm, then check its function before returning it to you.
Contact us for a final price based on your firearm and its condition, plus current turnaround.
