I have personally been through the FFL approval process twelve times in seven different states. Enjoy a 100% positive feedback for almost two decades on eBay, and I also have a 100% positive feedback on GunBroker as a buyer & seller for almost ten years. Been in business over a decade, “A+” Rated by the Better Business Bureau and a member of their honor roll!. Brandon is President of the Dakota Territory Gun Collectors Association (DTCGA) and Brandon is also President of the South Dakota Firearms Industry Association (SDFIA).
We recently sat down with the folks at America’s First Freedom to discuss why silencers are an increasingly important part of firearms industry. Silencer Central and FFL123 Founder Brandon Maddox reveals the story of why he got into the silencer business, and some of the secrets behind building the largest silencer dealer in the United States. Brandon tells us why silencers are so important, and how he’s successfully lobbied the ATF on behalf of silencer owners everywhere. Silencer Central remains committed not only to bringing you the best deals on silencers, but to work tirelessly on behalf of silencer owners everywhere to promote our rights and interests.
What is an FFL 03?
An FFL 03, or Type 03 FFL, or Curio and Relics (C&R) license is a special license for gun collectors. Unlike most FFL’s which are for dealers, gunsmiths, manufacturers and importers, the Type 03 FFL is intended to make gun collecting easy.
With a Type 03 FFL, you can have guns classified as curios and relics shipped directly to you, without having to go through a regular FFL dealer for the transfer paperwork and background check. This lets you build a collection of old guns with less hassle and paperwork, and sometimes even buy them direct from wholesalers and importers at less than retail cost. Many popular guns are classified as C&R’s including all guns 50 years old or older. Some restrictive states may still require certain types of C&R guns be transferred through a dealer.
What does FFL mean?
FFL stands for Federal Firearms License. There are several different types of FFL’s which allow you to sell, manufacture, import or even acquire collector’s guns more easily. FFL’s are usually described by the type number assigned to them by the ATF. For instance a Type 01 license is the most common, and is for basic gun dealing and gunsmithing, while a Type 07 lets you manufacture and sell guns.
FFL’s are required for anyone who sells guns commercially. You can get an FFL for a home based business, and many FFL holders are just small part time concerns ran out of a spare bedroom or a garage. We are happy to work with you to figure out what FFL is right for your business needs, and with our FFL123 kit, you can get your FFL as quickly as possible!
