Frequently Asked Questions

Please Read Before Ordering

Front Sight Firearms & LTC Training is a home-based Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) operating by appointment only. Completing the transfer request form before placing your order helps ensure a smooth transfer and avoids unnecessary delays.

I paid for expedited shipping. When will my firearm be ready?

Expedited shipping only affects the carrier’s transit time.

It does not guarantee:

• Acceptance on the first delivery attempt
• Immediate processing
• Same-day transfer
• Same-day pickup

Typical processing time is 1–2 business days, Monday through Friday, after the firearm is received.

Do I need to complete this form before placing my order?

Yes. We strongly recommend completing this form before placing your order. This allows us to verify availability, contact you if needed, and prepare for your transfer. Firearms shipped without prior notice may experience delays in processing.

Will you contact me when my firearm is ready?

Yes. Please do not arrive without being contacted first. Once your firearm has been received, logged into our records, and is ready for transfer, we will contact you to schedule an appointment. Typical processing time is 1–2 business days (Monday–Friday) after the firearm is received.

What do I need to bring to pick up my firearm?

A valid government-issued photo ID, such as a Texas Drivers License and/or Texas LTC.
Any documents required by federal or state law.
Payment for the transfer fee.
Be prepared to complete ATF Form 4473 and undergo a background check if required.

Can you guarantee acceptance of overnight or Next Day Air deliveries?

No. Shipping speed is determined by the carrier and does not guarantee we will be available to accept the package on the first delivery attempt. If your transfer is time-sensitive, contact us before placing your order.

What if I'm active-duty military stationed in Texas? What documents do I need?

Active-duty military members stationed in Texas should bring:

Valid Military ID (CAC)
Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders showing your permanent duty station in Texas (paper or electronic)
Valid driver’s license or state-issued photo ID (from any state)
Any supplemental government-issued documentation if needed to verify your current residence address
Payment for transfer fees

Please note:

Temporary duty (TDY/TAD) orders are not accepted as proof of Texas residency.
Military spouses and dependents cannot use the service member’s PCS orders to establish residency. They must provide their own documentation showing Texas residency.

Military Customers: If you are active-duty military and stationed in Texas, please indicate that in the Additional Information section so we can ensure the appropriate documentation is available at your appointment.

What happens if my background check is delayed or denied?

All firearm transfers are subject to federal and state law, including completion of ATF Form 4473 and any required background check.

Delayed Background Check: If your background check is delayed, your firearm must remain in our inventory until we are legally permitted to transfer it. We will contact you once a final determination has been received or when federal law otherwise permits transfer.

Denied Background Check: If you are denied, the firearm cannot be transferred to you. Your FFL transfer fee is still due and is non-refundable, as the transfer service has already been performed.

If the firearm must be returned to the selling dealer or shipped to another FFL, the purchaser is responsible for arranging the return with the seller and for all applicable return shipping and handling fees.

Can someone else pick up my firearm for me?

No. The firearm may only be transferred to the actual purchaser listed on the transaction.

The individual taking possession must personally:

Complete ATF Form 4473
Pass any required background check
Present valid identification and any required residency documentation
Sign all required paperwork

Federal law prohibits transferring a firearm to another person who is not the lawful transferee.

What if the address on my ID is not current?

Your government-issued photo ID must accurately identify you. If the address on your ID is not your current residence address, you may be required to provide additional government-issued documentation showing your current residential address before the transfer can be completed.

Examples may include:

Texas License to Carry (LTC) with your current address
Current vehicle registration
Voter registration card
Property tax statement
Government-issued vehicle title
Other government-issued documents showing your current residence address

If you’re unsure whether your documentation is acceptable, please contact us before your appointment.

What payment methods do you accept?

Payment is due at the time of transfer. We accept:

Cash
Cash App or Zelle

How long do I have to pick up my firearm?

Once your firearm is ready for transfer, we will contact you to schedule an appointment.

We ask that you pick up your firearm within 30 days of being notified that it is ready.

Firearms remaining in our inventory more than 30 days after notification may be assessed a storage fee of $5.00 per day, unless prior arrangements have been made.

If a firearm remains unclaimed for an extended period and we are unable to contact the purchaser, we reserve the right to return the firearm to the selling dealer at the purchaser’s expense. Any applicable return shipping, insurance, and handling charges are the responsibility of the purchaser.

Do you transfer NFA firearms (Suppressors, SBRs, etc.)?

No. At this time, we do not process NFA firearm transfers.

What is your transfer fee?

Standard Firearm Transfer: $25 per item.

Please contact us for transfers involving multiple firearms or special circumstances.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes. Front Sight Firearms & LTC Training is a home-based FFL and all firearm transfers are completed by appointment only. We do not maintain regular retail business hours.

Can I inspect the firearm before completing the transfer?

Yes. You may visually inspect the firearm to verify that it is the correct item and appears to be in the expected condition before completing the transfer paperwork. Firearms may not be handled or leave the premises until the transfer has been legally completed.

I have a question that isn't answered here.

Please contact us before placing your order. We’re happy to answer questions and help ensure your transfer goes smoothly.
