Common questions from Council Bluffs customers
How does the FFL transfer work if I'm in Council Bluffs, IA?
You order the firearm on our site and select an FFL dealer in Council Bluffs as the ship-to (we list 23 FFLs in Council Bluffs). We ship it to that dealer; you pick it up after the standard ATF Form 4473 background check. Most Council Bluffs-area FFLs charge $25-$50 for the transfer service. We don't charge to ship a firearm to an FFL.
Do I need an FFL for ammo, optics, or accessories?
No. Only firearms require an FFL transfer. Ammo, magazines, optics, holsters, parts, and gear ship directly to your home address in Council Bluffs via UPS or FedEx.
How long does shipping to Council Bluffs take?
Most non-firearm orders arrive in 4-7 business days. Firearm transfers may take an extra 1-2 days while the receiving dealer logs the firearm into their bound book.
