Incoming FFL Transfers:

Receiving or Shipping a firearm? Send FFL requests to info@targettimedefense.com We will provide our copy when we have received your FFL information.

Unfortunately, there are a few knuckleheads out there who don’t understand how things work, so we have had to institute the following policies:

YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OLD TO TRANSFER/PICK UP A STRIPPED OR BUILT LOWER RECEIVER (FOR EITHER RIFLE OR PISTOL), PISTOL FRAME, HANDGUN, OR PISTOL GRIP SHOTGUN.

Once you have selected and purchased a firearm from another dealer or source (Palmetto, GunBroker, GrabAGun, Buds, etc.), you or the seller will need to have the entity that is shipping the weapon reach out to us to request a copy of our FFL and license information. We DO NOT release our FFL information to the general public, therefore whoever is shipping the firearm will also need to provide us with a copy of their FFL information. It is our store policy (not federal law) that we will ONLY receive serialized items that are shipped from FFL holders, NOT private individuals, if you think this does not apply to you, please, go ahead and send us your gun, we will reject the shipment, send it back to you at your expense, and you can explain to the person who bought it from you that you don’t know how to follow directions. Save yourself some time, trouble, and additional expense and send/have the item sent through an FFL holder. This is considered the appropriate chain of custody in the eyes of the ATF. A photocopy of your driver’s license is not a substitute for a Federal Firearms License.

Because YOU purchased the firearm, it is YOUR responsibility to make any needed arrangements with the seller and/or shipping entity to contact us. We DO NOT contact sellers or shipping entities to make arrangements for the transfer of YOUR item. Please do not contact us to demand that we send our FFL information to a seller, instead contact the entity that took your money and charged you for shipping and “handling”, and demand that THEY send their FFL to info@targettimedefense.com while requesting a copy of our FFL information. Then, and only then, will we respond with a copy of our information.

“But it says on the GunBroker site that you are supposed to send your information first…”. GunBroker (who also retains a portion of the money that you paid) does not have jurisdiction over our store. They do not dictate our store policy, guidelines or rules. In fact, we feel that it is unfair for them to accommodate the sale of a weapon and then impose their will over a third party that was not previously involved in the transaction. “Hey, you don’t know me, but I helped this other guy buy a car from some other dude and now you need to go out of your way to help him park it in your driveway!” In some cases, GunBroker is asking us to send a copy of our FFL to a member of the general public who does not have their own FFL. A firearms license number is similar to a driver’s license number or social security number; this is not something you want just anyone to have access to. We have actually had private individuals try to use a commercial FFL that they had no right to, in an attempt to send a firearm to us. This is considered an unlawful transfer of a firearm and could be charged as a felony offense. We would prefer not to be implicated in this type of activity.

You should typically be provided with tracking information for your firearm after it has been shipped. Once you receive a notification from the carrier and/or shipping entity that your item has arrived at our location, that DOES NOT mean that your item is ready to be picked up at our store. When any firearm is delivered to our facility, it has to be checked in to our system before we can transfer it over to you. This IS federal law. We understand that you are excited to receive your new item, however, depending on how busy we are on any given day, this process can take up to 72 hours. It is not uncommon for us to handle over 30 transfers per week. When the boxes arrive, they DO NOT state what is in it or whom it is for. Please don’t ask us to “just go in back and make sure that it is here”, trust USPS, or FedEx, or UPS that their system works and the tracking information is correct. Please be patient, we will contact you as soon as the item has been checked in and is actually ready for you to pick up. You will be required to complete and pass the ATF and FBI Federal Firearms Acquisition Background Check, Form 4473 in our store, AT TIME OF PICK UP, before finally receiving your item.

Transfer fees for all non-NFA items for non-members is $30.00 per item.

Transfer fees for all non-NFA items for range members is $25.00 per item.

All items must be present before a background check can be performed. It is not legally possible to perform a background check prior to having the actual item in hand.

ANY ITEMS THAT ARE NOT CLAIMED WITHIN 90 DAYS OF ARRIVAL/APPROVAL WILL BECOME TARGET TIME PROPERTY. We will send at least three notifications to inform you that you need to come pick up your item. After that we will assume that this item and transaction have been abandoned.

NFA transfers are $80.00.

If you select Target Time as your preferred dealer from the Silencer Shop website, any purchases sent to our store are exempt of transfer fees.
