All firearms must ship to a Federal Firearm License (FFL) holder. All BATFE, GCA, and NFA regulations apply to firearm transfers.

Your Responsibilities for FFL Orders

  • Legal Verification — confirm the firearm is legal in your state
  • FFL Selection — choose an FFL in your state of residence
  • FFL Confirmation — verify your chosen FFL will accept the transfer
  • Accurate Information — provide correct FFL details at checkout

Important: Shield Arms is not responsible for shipping or administrative charges if your FFL refuses delivery or if there are transfer complications.
