The Clock Is Ticking:
July 1 Changes Everything

Virginia’s new assault firearm law takes effect July 1, 2026. If you want it, order it AND pick it up before then. Use this calendar like a holiday shipping deadline — miss the date, miss the gift.

★ The One Rule That Matters Most ★
Come in & complete your transfer by June 28
June 28 is the last official day to come in. We hold June 29–30 open only as a safety margin if your background check is delayed overnight — please don’t plan to come those days. If it’s still in our vault on July 1, we may be legally unable to hand it to you.
📅 Last Day to Order / Submit — by Category
🔵 Under-21 Buyers
Buyers under 21 now require an enhanced background check that takes longer to clear — so you go first. Plan backward: order early, make sure the firearm has arrived, and come in to complete your transfer no later than June 25. That puts the slowest checks at the front of the line.
Come In By
June 25
slowest checks go first
📦 Standard Firearm Transfers
Your firearm must physically arrive by June 26 so we have time to log it and notify you. Then come in and complete your transfer by June 28 — the last official day. Why the 28th, not the 30th? When the system is slammed, background checks can be delayed overnight (it happened last weekend). Coming in by the 28th gives your check up to two full days to clear before the July 1 cutoff. June 29–30 are a safety net, not a plan. And if your background checks are usually delayed, don’t lean on that net at all — come in early so a slow check still has room to clear before July 1. No item left behind.
Come In By

arrive by June 26
🔇 NFA Form 4 — SBR (Individual)
If the SBR would be classified as an “assault firearm” on July 1, the absolute latest we’ll submit a Form 4 is June 15 — and even then, approval is entirely up to ATF’s processing time. We cannot guarantee it clears in time.
Submit By
June 15
no approval guarantee
🔇 NFA Form 4 — SBR (Trust)
These have been running ~30 days to process. Honestly? That window has already closed for anything that becomes an assault firearm July 1. We don’t want to take your money for something that can’t clear in time.

TOO LATE

🔇 NFA Form 4 — Silencers / Suppressors
Good news: suppressors are NOT affected by the new assault firearm law. No special deadline — business as usual.
Deadline
None
not affected
🛠 NFA Form 1 — DIY SBR Builds
We don’t submit these for you, but a heads-up: Form 1s are running ~60 days, and there is no clear guidance on whether ATF will approve them after July 1. Nobody knows. Plan accordingly.
Heads Up
~60 DAYS

🤝 Consignment Returns (Covered Items)
If you have a firearm on consignment with us that becomes an "assault firearm" July 1, we cannot transfer it back to you after June 30 — even though it’s yours. We can still sell it afterward, but not to a Virginia resident. If there’s any chance you’d want it back, reclaim it before July 1.
Reclaim By
June 28
or it can’t come back
— A note from the owner —

Let’s be real with each other for a second. If you buy a firearm that becomes an “assault firearm” on July 1 and you don’t come in and finish your transfer by June 28 — you’re cutting it dangerously close, and if it isn’t in your hands by July 1, I am legally barred from handing it to you, even though you bought it before the deadline. The state law has no “but I bought it in time” exception. It doesn’t care that you forgot. It doesn’t care that you got busy.

I have extended my hours as far as I physically can — early mornings, late nights, weekends — to fit every single one of you in. I’ve sacrificed a lot to take care of my customers through all of this. Now I need you to meet me halfway: get your stuff, and get it on time.

And just so we’re clear 😅 — if you message me on July 1 asking about a transfer you sat on… I’ll be asleep. Or fishing. Definitely not answering. Don’t be that person.

Hours extended through June 30 to get everyone taken care of. Book the soonest slot you can — the calendar fills fast as the deadline gets closer.

📅 Book My Pickup / Appointment
Questions about a specific item or deadline? Email ffl@outdoorarms.com — before June 28, please. 🙏
📦🚨📦
Hey! Your Firearm Misses You.
If we called or emailed — please come grab it. Soon. Like, this week soon.

Virginia’s July 1 law changes turned our shop into a UPS Store on Black Friday. We are physically running out of vault space and more shipments are arriving every day. We can no longer hold completed transfers while waiting on future arrivals.

Translation: please don’t make us play firearm Tetris. If your transfer is ready, book a pickup ASAP — we’ll high-five you on the way out the door. 🤝

📬 Got a shipping confirmation but haven’t heard from us yet? It’s almost certainly already here. We sometimes get behind on the “your firearm has arrived” emails when shipments stack up — but the firearm itself is sitting in the vault waiting for you. Go ahead and book a pickup.
🛠 We are doing everything we can to get your firearms to you. Extended hours, weekend shifts, fewer naps — we are working through the surge so every transfer gets cleared before July 1. Whether or not your firearm is affected by the new law, please pick up any completed transfers as soon as you reasonably can. It is a huge help.
Heads up — we will be closed July 1–15, 2026 to reset and recover. (Your friendly FFL has been running on coffee and adrenaline for two months straight — even gun guys need to sleep eventually. 😅) Please do not have anything shipped to arrive during that window, and complete every transfer by June 28.
📅 Book My Pickup Now
Thank you — seriously. Prompt pickups keep the line moving for everyone.

Virginia gun laws are changing July 1, 2026. If you are planning to buy a covered firearm, both the order AND the transfer must complete before July 1 — purchasing alone does not beat the deadline. After July 1, assault firearm transfers will end and prior authorization will be required for all other incoming transfers. Time is limited — act now.

⚠  Changing July 1, 2026

🚫
Assault Firearm Transfers End Virginia HB217/SB749 bans the transfer of firearms meeting the state’s “assault firearm” definition — including many semi-auto rifles and pistols with certain features. See the full law breakdown →
📦
FFL-Only Senders — Effective July 1 We will only accept firearm shipments from licensed FFLs (dealers, gunsmiths, or manufacturers). Private shipments too often arrive missing the info we need — and are more likely to contain a firearm that is no longer legal to transfer here. Shipments from individuals will be refused or returned at the sender’s expense. Full details on the Transfers page →
📋
Prior Authorization Required All incoming transfers after July 1 require prior coordination so we can confirm the firearm is legal for us to receive and for you to own. July is a learning period — pre-screening protects both sides while everyone gets familiar with the new laws. Firearms shipped without prior authorization will be refused or returned at the sender’s expense. Contact us before having anything shipped.
🔧
Engraving — Coming Soon Laser engraving starting with AR-style lowers and Form 1 “Maker” marking. Expanding to magazines, parts, and custom work. Details soon
