Independence Armory

Independence Armory handles the stuff most gun shops won't touch. They specialize in NFA transfers (suppressors, short-barrel rifles, etc.), custom firearm builds, and professional gunsmithing—all with a straightforward process that actually makes sense.

They're a full-service FFL that handles:

• •NFA transfers with a detailed 8-step process. They charge $150 for the transfer and holding fee, handle all the paperwork legwork, and walk you through ATF Form 4 submissions. They'll even help you set up a gun trust if you want one.
• •Firearm transfers for online purchases shipped to their location. Veterans, active law enforcement, and first responders get 20% off transfers.
• •Custom builds tailored to your specs, with expert gunsmith consultation for high-performance designs
• •Gunsmithing services including repairs, modifications, and customizations at $100/hour
• •Scope mounting and rifle sight-in with precision calibration
• •Consignment services if you want to sell—they handle photos, listings, marketing, and transactions for a 20% cut

Beyond firearms, they stock ammunition, night vision, thermal optics, standard scopes, body armor, and specialized equipment. If you buy online elsewhere, they'll handle the transfer.

They run training courses from beginner to advanced, including safety and marksmanship instruction with certified instructors. Custom sessions available based on your goals.

They know the NFA process cold and don't treat it like a hassle. If you've ever tried to buy a suppressor and hit walls of confusion, Independence Armory streamlines it. They're also practical about discounts—20% for military, law enforcement, and first responders on transfers.
