Question regarding FFL

[JamesBoyd]

Hello all, and thank you for viewing my post. If anyone could point me in the right direction as to my question that would be greatly appreciated. Here is my issue....

I would like to purchase a firearm from Atlantic Firearms using layaway. My FFL will be Atlantic Guns in Rockville. Here's where I begin to become somewhat confused. In what order should I take the steps necessary to do this? Should I start the layaway purchase and pay it off within AF's 45 day period first, or should I get things straightened out with the FFL at AG first?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Don’t know how they operate but my guess is that you need to pay for it in full before AF will transfer it to Atlantic guns
I would at least talk to Atlantic Guns and make sure they’ll accept/process a transfer from them before you buy it.

Id recommend checking with Atlantic guns first to see if what you are interested in is something they can get you and if they have a layaway program (I bet they do). Might save yourself some $ and aggravation just getting it direct from Atlantic guns.

Doesn't Atlantic charge an exorbitant amount for transfers? Maybe they've lowered it but about five years ago I asked about a transfer and they said their service charge was $100. If that hasn't changed I would look elsewhere.

They told me it would be 40 for a handgun and 60 for a long gun. Not exactly ideal, for sure.

It’s probably the opposite
Unless they are really tight on space.

You probably have those numbers reversed. Not an exorbitant amount considering where they are located.

I did exactly this at Atlantic Guns a couple of weeks ago. They didn't have what I wanted in stock so they are ordering it for me. Took a $50 deposit and gave me a layaway ticket to pick it up when it comes in. Note: This was not a special order. It is something they routinely stock. For a special order I would expect to pay in full up front.

Atlantic dropped their transfer prices to "locally competitive" a while back. They're still a little further away for me than United and Engage, but at least they're an option now.

Good deal. I always prefer to try and give business to the local guys.

You will want to contact your FFL transfer dealer before placing the order to make sure they will handle the transfer for you and see what they will charge etc .
