Helping legal people do legal things

Your trusted firearm transfer specialist serving Northern Virginia

⚖️ A note on the law: Virginia’s assault firearm and magazine ban is currently blocked by a statewide court injunction, expected to stay in place until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on similar bans (a decision is expected around June 2027). In the meantime, we accept and transfer these items normally. One uncertainty: the grandfather date (July 1, 2026) hasn’t changed, so a firearm bought now may not be grandfathered if the ban is ultimately upheld — though we expect the injunction to hold. This isn’t legal advice.

How We Operate

The new era at Outdoor Arms — here’s how transfers work now

📋
We ask for an intake form before you ship
Before your firearm is shipped to us, please fill out our Incoming Transfer Request form so we can confirm it’s legal to transfer in Virginia and match the package to you. It only takes a minute and makes pickup smoother.
📦
Licensed FFLs only
We accept incoming shipments only from licensed dealers, gunsmiths, or manufacturers — not from private individuals.
⚖️
Assault firearms, AR lowers & 15+ magazines — currently accepted
With the statewide court injunction in effect, we’re accepting shipment and transfer of these items again. The court situation can change — see the bulletin at the top of the page, and please pick up promptly once your item arrives.
📅
By appointment only — no walk-ins
Pickups and services are by appointment. Book on Calendly.
🤝
Private party transfers — available
Buying or selling with another Virginia resident? We run the VSP background check and handle the paperwork. Same as a standard transfer: $30 first firearm, $5 each additional. By appointment — we take a limited number per day, so reach out ahead.

Consignment — available
We photograph, list, and sell your firearm on consignment, then return the proceeds to you.

Virginia’s 2026 Gun Laws Are Now Signed

Governor Spanberger signed a large package of firearm bills in April 2026 — including an assault weapons and magazine ban, private-party background check restoration, and an age increase to 21 for handguns and assault firearms. Most are now in effect — though a court has temporarily blocked the assault firearm & magazine ban (see the bulletin at the top). Outdoor Arms is tracking every bill and how it affects your transfers.
