Yes. Our standard incoming transfer fee is $25 for up to three eligible firearms per completed ATF Form 4473, and $65 for an eligible NFA transfer (up to three qualifying items).

CUSTOMER INFORMATION / BEFORE YOU BUY
Every purchase and project is different. Our team verifies stock, confirms the scope, explains applicable charges and provides written terms before you commit.
Yes. Inventory and distributor availability can change. Contact ABIS Arms to confirm the specific item, final price, pickup or FFL-shipping options, expected timing, and any applicable taxes or fees before arranging a purchase. Website catalog browsing does not complete an order.
Please contact our team before shipment so we can confirm receiving procedures and fees. Every release is subject to the applicable identification, records, background-check, and transfer requirements. See our FFL transfer information.
Policies depend on the merchandise or service. Some custom work or special orders may have restricted cancellation or voluntary return options. Request the applicable written return, deposit, special-order, and cancellation terms before paying or authorizing work. See our online store terms.
You may ask about an eligible hold or layaway, but the website does not accept payments or create a binding agreement. An approved in-store hold may carry a $25 fee for up to 48 hours. Staff will verify eligibility and provide the written layaway, payment, and cancellation terms before collecting any amount. Explore payment options.
Tell us about the item and service you need. Gunsmithing, Cerakote, engraving, and custom work may require inspection, a written estimate, approved artwork or design, an agreed scope, a deposit, and a work order before work begins. Request a quote.
Coverage depends on the product, manufacturer, service, and written terms applicable to that transaction. Ask for those terms and applicable care instructions before purchase or work. See the ABIS warranty information, including its pending-legal-review notice.
No. Please do not send payment-card numbers, government ID images, or other sensitive documents through general email or contact forms. Our team will explain the appropriate approved process when documentation is actually required.
Yes, visits can be arranged by appointment outside our Wednesday–Saturday posted hours. Request an appointment or call or text 318-306-0946.
