At Brady’s Custom Arms, we provide professional NFA transfer services for customers in Leesville and surrounding areas. Firearms and regulated items under the National Firearms Act (NFA) require additional documentation, federal approval, and strict compliance procedures. Our role is to ensure your transfer is handled accurately, securely, and in accordance with all federal regulations.
Located at 113 Mirante Dr, Leesville, LA 71446, we accept customers at our location by appointment. Because NFA transfers involve detailed paperwork and regulated timelines, scheduled appointments allow us to provide focused guidance throughout the process.
What Is an NFA Transfer?
An NFA transfer applies to federally regulated items such as:
- Suppressors
- Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs)
- Short-Barreled Shotguns (SBSs)
- Machine guns (where legally transferable)
- Certain other regulated devices
These items require submission of specific ATF forms, fingerprinting, photographs, background checks, and federal approval before they can be released to the transferee. Approval timelines vary and are determined by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
Brady’s Custom Arms acts as your local licensed dealer to receive and hold your NFA item while approval is pending.
The NFA Transfer Process
The NFA transfer process typically includes:
- Verifying the transferring dealer’s licensing
- Receiving and logging the NFA item into our records
- Completing the appropriate ATF application (such as Form 4)
- Submitting required documentation and tax payment
- Awaiting federal approval
- Contacting you once approval is granted
- Finalizing the transfer upon authorized release
Accuracy is critical during each step. Errors or missing information can cause delays, so we review documentation carefully before submission.
Secure Storage During Approval
NFA items must remain in licensed custody until federal approval is issued. We store all regulated items securely and maintain proper documentation throughout the waiting period. Once approval is received, we schedule an appointment for final paperwork completion and lawful transfer.
Guidance & Compliance
Navigating NFA regulations can feel complex. We provide clear explanations regarding required documents, identification, and what to expect during the approval period. While federal processing times are outside of our control, we ensure your paperwork is properly prepared and submitted to minimize avoidable delays.
If you are purchasing an NFA item online or through another dealer, contact us in advance so we can coordinate the transfer and confirm shipment details.
Appointment-Based Service
Because NFA transfers require additional time and documentation, we operate by appointment. This approach allows us to dedicate time to your paperwork, answer questions thoroughly, and maintain accurate records.

5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
