Fees:
K3 Armory charges a fee for each of their FFL Transfer services. Refer to the individual service pages (linked above) for complete pricing details.
Pickup, Transfer and Drop off times:
K3 Armory is a home-based business. Therefore, all Customer pick-up, drop-off and transfers are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
Once instructed by us to do so, appointments for FFL Transfers should be booked using our convenient online scheduling page. Do not call or email us to request an appointment time.
Late, No Show, Missed Appointment Fee:
K3 Armory is a home-based business located in Chesterfield, VA and an appointment is required prior to visiting us. We do not accept "walk-in" customers. If you are picking up an inbound FFL transfer OR doing a local private party transfer, appointments should be booked using our online scheduling page once instructed by us to do so.
Once you have booked your appointment, you will receive a confirmation notice by email and text. You will also receive a reminder email and text 24 hours prior to your appointment time. It is imperative that you show up on time. If you are unable to arrive on time for any reason, you must contact us as soon as possible beforehand to let us know and to reschedule.
Appointment times are reserved exclusively for you and we go to great lengths to be available and ready specifically for your arrival. K3 Armory will respect your time and we ask that you do the same. No shows, missed appointments and late arrivals will not be tolerated.
We reserve the right to charge an additional $5 no show/late/missed fee for each instance of a missed or late appointment. This fee will be required to be paid prior to being able to pickup your firearm.
Background Checks:
Background Checks are performed at the time firearms are picked up/transferred. All buyers must complete an ATF Form 4473 and pass the National Instant Criminal Check System (NICS) background and criminal history check before we can transfer possession of any firearm(s). There are NO exceptions.
Storage Fees:
We will make multiple attempts using all methods of communication available to us to ensure you have been sufficiently notified that your firearm/order has arrived and is ready to be picked up/transfer.
We have very little storage space. Unless specifically agreed upon otherwise, any firearm/order that remains in K3 Armory's possession for more than thirty (30) days past the date the customer was first notified that we received the firearm for a pickup/transfer, a storage fee of $5 per day will begin to accrue starting on day 31, in perpetuity. All transfer fees, shipping, and storage fees must be paid before K3 Armory will release/transfer the firearm.
After ninety (90) calendar days, the item will be considered "abandoned".
Abandoned Items:
Firearms transferred to K3 Armory are considered abandoned if not picked up within ninety (90) calendar days, unless arrangements are made within the 30 calendar day period after you the customer was first notified that the order is ready for pickup. Abandoned items become the property of K3 Armory and will be retained, resold or disposed of at the sole discretion of K3 Armory.
Returned or Cancelled Transfers:
The Buyer/Customer is responsible for all return shipping charges should they wish to cancel and return a firearm to another FFL Dealer/seller after it has arrived at K3 Armory. The Buyer will also pay a $10 surcharge to cover the cost of recording and processing the firearm.
Transactions that are refused or are denied by the NICS Background Check system and need to be returned to the original FFL Dealer/Seller, will be charged a $10 Outbound FFL Transfer fee PLUS actual shipping and handling charges. Shipping fees vary by carrier, destination, dimension, and weight.
K3 Armory is not responsible for firearms/orders that arrive damaged and/or are not the correct items. The Buyer must contact the originating FFL Dealer/Seller to discuss a resolution. In the event any firearms need to be shipped back to the FFL Dealer/Seller for any reason, the Buyer is responsible for actual shipping and handling charges.
Inbound Shipments:
We only accept incoming firearm shipments from current, licensed FFL Dealers. We do not allow non-licensees (those without an FFL License, such as a private party individual) to ship firearms to us for transfer.
We ship and receive only Title I firearms (ordinary rifles, pistols, revolvers, shotguns, receivers, etc - NOT fully automatic or NFA items).
Outbound Shipments:
We only ship firearms to other FFL Dealers with valid and current licenses. K3 Armory will not ship any firearm until the receiving FFL Dealer provides us a signed copy of their FFL license.

Right of Refusal:
We reserve the right to refuse acceptance of any transfer firearm, in accordance with any Federal, State and Local laws. We do not inspect or test fire any firearms that are being transferred.
