Sponsor - Veteran's 2A Firearms

Veteran's 2A Firearms, LLC is a Veteran owned Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) Dealer located in Alamogordo for all your firearms transfer needs. We unfortunately do not currently have any firearms in stock. We will be offering gunsmithing in the near future though. 

If you are purchasing a firearm online and need it shipped to an FFL, just reach out to us and we can ensure that our license is sent to the correct location so you can receive it. We are registered with most of the big online gun dealers but there are a few we don't know about. Transfer fees are only $25 but, if you qualify, don't forget to ask about our active duty/veteran discount.
