We are a small shop in Baxter, MN mainly offering gunsmith and armorer services for our students.  Our sister company, Learning Firearms, is where we conduct all of our own courses as well as hosted courses with the industry's best instructors.  It was in training that we saw a need for a qualified, high quality service focusing on duty, competition, and defensive firearms.  We don't work on your grandfather's deer rifle, but we will make you carry handgun, AR15, or tactical shotgun work at their best level.  

We are a Class 3 licensed dealer of NFA items and can help you acquire your next suppressor, machine-gun or short barreled rifle.  Our prices on new items are very competitive often beating large chain stores.  We are also happy to help out with firearm and NFA transfers as well.  

Current arranged Transfer Pricing is:

$50 for Handgun, Rifles, and Shotguns - Additional Items $20 extra per serial number

$100 Silencers and SBRs

$150 Machineguns

Cash is the only payment accepted for transfer services

Transfers must be arranged/requested by contacting me via telephone or email.   This gives us the required information to start your order in our system, submit our FFL to the sending dealer, and receive the item.  Once the firearm/item is received you will be contacted to set an appointment to conduct the trasnfer.  

FFL Required Firearm/Item Transfer Policies and Fees:

Blind transfers - firearms/items that are sent to the shop with no prior notification or order received are $60.00. This is due to likely increased time and arrangements needed to pick up firearms at shipping hub as I am a part time shop and need to know when to receive and sign for firearms.  You need to set up a transfer using our web-store, if you are unable you can call or email for assistance.

Storage Fees - Any item received will be held for fourteen (14) days from date of delivery with no additional fees. Items that are not claimed and legally transferred after fourteen (14) days will be subject to a storage fee of $25.00 per week/$100.00 per month until items are claimed and legally transferred. Items that are not picked up after sixty (60) days shall be considered abandoned property and may be disposed of or sold by the company.  Here's the deal, I don't want to hang on to your stuff longer than I have to.  If you have a gun sent to me, come pick it up and please let me know it's coming.  If you are a member of our armed services, first responder, or contracter and are unable to pick the gun up for a while, let me know.  I am happy to keep things safe for you and appreciate what you do at no charge.

Denied Response/Ineligible Person - If you receive a "Denied" response or become an ineligible person to receive the firearm, you are not going to receive the firearm/item.  You may arrange a return with the orignal seller, you will still be responsible for the transfer fee, any storage fees, and return shipping fees.  We can also assist you in consigning the item or selling the item.

Straw Purchases - The definition of a straw purchase is someone purchasing or receiving a firearm/item with the intention of giving it, transferring it, or allowing another to use it for unlawful purposes.  This is typically seen when person A can't legally own a firearm so person B buys the firearm for person A.  If we receive any information or inclination that a straw purchase is occurring we will refuse the transfer and reserve the right to refuse service.  

FAQs

Why are you more expensive than other shops? Transfers take up more time than I would like preventing me from other work.  I highly recomend checking out the great other jobs we have in the area for transfer services.  they are less expensive, have regular hours and a storefront.  This is not my full-time venture, as a result when it takes me away from other activities I have to charge for the loss of doing those activites.  

When can I pick up my items?  The shop that handles FFL services is generally available by appoitment weekdays from 11am-2pm, apointments can be made outside of those hours as well.

I see my item has been delivered, can I pick it up?   I may be traveling or out of town and had a clerk recevie the item.  Due to my schedule I may not be available to 2 weeks at a time and you won't be able to pick up your item until I am available.  If you need your item sooner, want to pick up your item during regular hours etc, again I highly recomend using the other FFL shops in town.
