Your Firearm Transfer Roadmap

We make buying a firearm online easy. Here’s exactly what to expect when using Blackbox Ballistics for your FFL transfer:

01.

Choose Your Firearm or Suppressor Online

Find the firearm you want from a trusted online retailer like GunBroker, Palmetto State Armory, Buds Gun Shop or better yet let us special order it for you directly.

Why buy from a local dealer?

🔗 Don’t forget to confirm these dealers ship to FFLs!

02.

Enter Our FFL Info at Checkout

At checkout, list Blackbox Ballistics as your receiving dealer. We are listed with most major online shops. If the seller needs it, we’ll send them our license directly.

📧 Email us for a copy of the FFL if needed

03.

Notify Us of the Purchase

Shoot us a message with your name, order number, and what you bought. That way, we’ll know to expect your shipment.

📬 We’ll keep an eye on tracking for you.

04.

We Receive & Log Your Firearm or Suppressor

Once the item arrives, we enter it into our FFL log and inspect the shipment. We’ll notify you immediately when it has arrived.

Nothing for You to Do Here

05.

Schedule an Appointment and Complete the Background Check

Come by with your government-issued photo ID. You’ll fill out Form 4473 (don’t worry—we’ll help if it’s your first time) and complete a quick NICS background check. For suppressors there are some extra paperwork. Suppressor FAQ

06.

Take Your Firearm Home

After the check clears, it’s all yours! We’ll go over safety basics if you need them—and even offer a cleaning or sight-in if you want the full treatment.
