1. What is an FFL dealer?
An FFL dealer is a business or individual with a Federal Firearms License issued by the ATF, allowing them to sell, transfer, and sometimes manufacture firearms. If you’re buying a gun online, you’ll need it shipped to an FFL for the required transfer process.

2. How do I find an FFL dealer near me?
Simple—use 2FFL. Enter your ZIP code, city, or state, and we’ll show you verified ATF-licensed dealers nearby, along with contact info, hours, and services offered.

3. What is an FFL transfer?
An FFL transfer is the process of moving a firearm from one owner to another through a licensed dealer, as required by federal law. This often happens when buying a gun online or transferring it across state lines. See dealers who handle transfers.

4. How much does an FFL transfer cost?
FFL transfer fees vary by location, typically ranging from $20 to $75. Some shops charge more for specialty firearms or NFA/Class 3 items. On 2FFL, you can check each dealer’s listed transfer fee before you call.

4. What is a Class 3 dealer?
A Class 3 dealer is an FFL holder with a Special Occupational Tax (SOT) that allows them to sell NFA items like suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and machine guns. Use our NFA/Class 3 filter to find these dealers in seconds.

5. Can I buy a gun online without an FFL?
Nope. Federal law requires that all interstate firearm sales go through an FFL transfer. Even if you buy online, the seller must ship your gun to a licensed dealer in your state for pickup.

Most do, but not all. That’s why 2FFL is so handy—you can be sure every dealer listed is an active, verified ATF license holder.

6. How do I transfer a gun to another state?
You’ll need to ship it from your local FFL to an FFL in the destination state. 2FFL makes it easy to find a dealer on both ends.
