We do perform FFL transfers, and all transfers must be compliant with the VA assault weapons ban. Keep in mind that any transfer to a person not living in the state of Virginia is subject to the restrictions of their state.
If you send a firearm and it is not Virginia compliant you must pay to have it converted to be compliant, or pay the transfer fee and shipping fees to have it sent back!
Fees
- Current/Former Military/LEO: $25
- All others: $30
- Additional firearms per transfer (Must be in the same shipment/order): $5 each
- Any NFA device (suppressors, short barrel rifles, short barrel shotguns): $80 per item.
NOTE:
With the VA Assault weapon ban taking effect 07/01/2026 we will not be able to transfer any banned firearm from that date forward. You must have the firearm in your hands before this date! Not just purchased! If we receive your firearm and you do not pick it up or are approved before 7/1/2026 it will need to be converted to be VA compliant or returned to the seller at your expense.
Even with the injunction on 6/25/2026 we still will be unable to transfer banned firearms as it only prevents the VA state police from enforcing the law, not other agencies such as the ATF.
We are cutting off submissions for SBRs on 6/16/2026. Any firearm that is not in your hands and would be banned will either need to be converted to be VA compliant or returned to the shipper at your expense.
The Process
If you are using us to receive a firearm please purchase the firearm through the seller. Once the sale with them has been completed they should give you an order number, auction number, or other sales identification number. Additionally we need the email address of the seller as well. Please forward the order confirmation details to us using our contact form below, or our email address: ffl@hallprecision.com
Once we receive the information we will send our FFL to the seller and notify you via email that we have sent it out. Usually we send out our FFL within 24 hours of getting the email from you. If you do not receive a confirmation that we sent it out please contact us.
When we receive the firearm we will text you when it is ready for you to perform the background check. Please do not show up until you get the text or it has been more than 24 hours from when it was delivered. We receive dozens of packages per day and logging them in can take a few hours.
We currently are part of the following gun dealer networks that do not need anything on your part (besides submitting your order) to get the gun to us:
- Aim Surplus
- Bud’s Gun Shop
- Palmetto State Armory
- Sportsman’s Guide
Shipping out a firearm
We can also ship a firearm out of state to another FFL if you require it. The basic transfer fee still applies plus shipping fees. We only ship out using UPS to ensure safe and proper delivery and receipt of firearms. Additionally, YOU MUST have a case for your firearm to be shipped as well to protect it during shipping. We will place it in a shipping rated box with some padding but a case protects it far better. Remember we will need to log the firearm in when you bring it in to be shipped out, so do not seal the container as we will need to physically inspect the firearm for the serial number, make, caliber, and model.
Reminder: Federal Law prevents the shipping of ammunition with a firearm! The ammunition must be shipped in a separate container. Ammunition will have additional hazmat fee for shipping
Please have the contact information for the individual who will be picking it up at the end destination. The receiving shop with FFL must have the following:
- First and Last name of the person picking it up
- at least one phone number to call them to arrange pickup
- (optional) Some states require a bill of sale as there is a tax that must be paid on the transfer as well.
