Before it ships

  • Please contact purchasing@717armory.com to request FFL for any incoming transfers.
  • Shipped transfers are only accepted from FFL Dealers. 717 Armory shall not accept mailed transfers from individuals.
  • A transferred firearm must meet all requirements of Pennsylvania and Federal law and must be shipped with the following:
    • A copy of the Transferor’s FFL
    • Name and phone number of the customer who will be receiving the firearm. This information must match what the customer provided to 717 Armory when requesting our FFL.

When it arrives

  • When your firearm is ready to be picked up you will receive a phone call informing you that your transfer is ready.  If you are awaiting a firearm transfer, please make sure your voicemail is set up and able to receive messages.  When the firearm arrives, it will be processed into our system, this means that while your tracking may say that the firearm has arrived at our facility it will not be ready until we call you (72-Hours Processing Time).
  • Firearms will only be transferred to the customer designated when the transfer was requested and on the packing materials included with the shipment.

Pickup and storage

  • The customer will be expected to pick up their transfer within 15-Days of being contacted.
  • After 15 days, if the transfer has not been picked up the customer will be assessed a daily storage fee of $10/day beginning on the 16th day.
  • After 30 days, if the firearm has not been picked up, the firearm will be considered abandoned, and it will be absorbed into store stock with no expectation of any further compensation to the customer.

If there's a problem

  • If a firearm does not meet Pennsylvania or Federal law, it will be returned to the transferring FFL at the customer’s cost and may be reported to the proper authorities.
  • If the customer is denied when picking up a firearm transfer, they will be responsible for the cost of return shipping to the transferring FFL as well as the initial transfer fee of $40.
  • If denied, customer has 30-Days to resolve issue or have the company they ordered from send a return shipping label to 717 Armory.  717 Armory shall take possession of said firearm with no further compensation on the 31st Day.

By having a firearm shipped to 717 Armory, you certify that you understand and accept the transfer policy as outlined on this page.

Suppressors and NFA items

We handle NFA transfers for suppressors, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, and other NFA items, through Silencer Shop.

FEE: $50 per NFA transfer

Bought your NFA item through another dealer? You can still use the Silencer Shop kiosk in our store for $40.

The federal tax stamp for suppressors, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, and AOWs is $0 as of January 1, 2026, but in Pennsylvania these items still go through the ATF Form 4 process.
