🚨🚨🚨

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 ★
Every item must be picked up by June 30
Not just assault firearms — everything. If it’s 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. Plan backward from this date: place your order early, make sure the firearm has arrived, and get your background check submitted — all no later than June 25.
BGC Submitted By
June 25
+ pick up by June 30
📦 Standard Firearm Transfers
Your firearm must physically arrive at our shop no later than June 28. That buffer protects you if a carrier runs late — don’t cut it to the wire. Then you MUST pick it up by June 30. No item left behind.
Must Arrive By

pick up by June 30
🔇 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.
Status
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
future unclear
🤝 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 30
or it can’t come back

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 pick it up by June 30 — 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

📦🚨📦
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 are planning a short break in early July 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. 😅) We will post exact dates once we have them.
📅 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 no longer accept firearm shipments from individuals or private sellers. All incoming transfers must ship from a licensed FFL. Two reasons: (1) too many private shipments arrive without the seller, buyer, or firearm info we need to log the gun and notify you. (2) private senders are less likely to know Virginia’s current firearm laws — including the new July 1 restrictions — so we expect a real chance of receiving items that aren’t legal to transfer here. Firearms shipped from individuals will be refused or returned at sender’s expense.
📋
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.
