TRANSFERS
If you purchase a firearm, lower receiver, or other item online that must be shipped to a registered FFL, we can provide this service for you. Non-NFA transfers, which require a background check at the time of pick up, are charged $65 for each firearm. Please allow up to 24hrs (not including Sunday and Monday as we are closed) for us to contact you. Active Duty & Retired Law Enforcement and Military (with credentials) receive a discounted transfer fee of $45.
Incoming transfers that are considerably over-packed and boxed, and require extra time to unbox and unwrap, will be charged an additional fee of $20, due to the inordinate amount of time required to safely unpack your firearm. This is not a common occurrence and this fee will only be charged when absolutely necessary.
Effective March 1st, 2025, the cost for all background checks has increased to $15.50. This fee is non-refundable, regardless if you pass or not.
NOTE: Federal Law (CSLA) requires ALL handguns, pistols and revolvers to leave the store with a lock. Effective 7/1/2021, the State of Colorado now requires all firearms, including long guns to leave the store with a lock. If you do not have a lock, we have inexpensive locks starting at $2.99.
PRIVATE SALES / TRANSFERS
To acquire a firearm via private sale/trade in Colorado, all buyers must pass a background check. Private transfers without an appointment will be facilitated based on time available at the cost of $65 per firearm.
Ark Tactical provides pre-paid appointments for private transfers at $10 for the first firearm. Due to increased costs, additional firearms will be $25 per serial number. We do not offer same-day appointments. Appointments must be scheduled and paid for in advance. Appointments are available, on the hour, Tuesday through Friday from 10AM - 4PM, and Saturday from 10 AM - 3 PM. To schedule an appointment, call 303-955-4800. Because appointments are pre-paid, we can no longer schedule via email.
Firearms must be brought into the store by the seller/current owner. Any ammunition left in a firearm, magazine or case will become the immediate property of Ark Tactical without exception.
Effective March 1st, 2025, the cost for all background checks has increased to $15.50. This fee is non-refundable, regardless if you pass or not.
