- •NFA items: Suppressors and short barrel rifles
- •Optics: Scopes and red dot sights
- •Weapon lights

Dealer Pricing Available: Because Peach State has dealer agreements with distributors, you can often get better prices ordering through them than buying direct from online retailers.
You can purchase firearms from online retailers like GunBroker.com, Classic Firearms, Palmetto State Armory, Brownells, and BudsGunShop.com and have them transferred to Peach State Defense. The transfer fee is $25.
Pickup is by appointment only (Monday-Saturday). You'll complete a standard 4473 form and submit to an ATF background check, unless you hold a valid Georgia concealed carry permit.
