Full description and what we offer

Alpine Shooting Range operates as an online firearms retailer specializing in shipping firearms to Federal Firearm License holders nationwide. Rather than operating a physical storefront, they've built their business around efficient firearms transfers to local gun shops, ranges, and dealers across all 50 states.

When you order a firearm from Alpine Range, you designate your local FFL to receive the transfer. Their system works in tiers based on FFL status:

  • Fast Track (Current FFL on File): If Alpine Range has a current, valid Federal Firearm License from your chosen dealer, they can ship immediately—same day or next business day processing.
  • Standard Processing (Expired FFL on File): If the FFL copy they have is expired, add 1-3 business days. They'll request an updated license from the dealer before shipping your firearm.
  • New FFL Coordination: For dealers not yet in their system, Alpine works with the FFL holder to obtain and file the current license before shipment.

Alpine Range makes clear that while they maintain a reference list of FFLs they've shipped to previously, customers must verify independently:

  • Contact your local gun shop to confirm they accept transfers
  • Verify their Federal Firearm License is valid and current
  • Don't assume a dealer is accepting transfers just because they're on Alpine's list
  • Business information changes—call ahead rather than relying on stored addresses

"This list is only provided as a reference. It is the responsibility of the customer to contact their local gun shop and verify they are accepting transfers and that their license is valid and current."

Alpine maintains relationships with Federal Firearm License holders across all 50 states:

Alpine actively recruits new Federal Firearm License holders to join their transfer network. Any licensed FFL can email [email protected] with a copy of their current license to be added to the database. This helps them expand coverage in underserved areas and provide faster processing for customers.

The FFL directory was last updated January 2, 2025, reflecting current license status for dealers in their system. Alpine notes that business names, addresses, and FFL status change frequently, which is why they recommend direct verification before transferring.

The advantage is straightforward: if your local dealer is already in their system with a current license, your firearm ships faster. Even if they're not, Alpine will work with your FFL to get the paperwork correct. No hassle with invalid or expired licenses delaying your transfer—they handle the coordination.

For shooters who want to buy online but need local pickup, Alpine Range's FFL network removes friction from the transfer process.
