FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I place a special order/what can I order?
Absolutely! We welcome special orders and will do our best to find you
the lowest price on anything you have in mind. We can order from a wide
selection of manufacturers, even if it's something harder to find than your
garden variety gun shop would normally have in stock. Browse
your
favorite manufacturer's site or check out our links section for just a small taste
of what we can deliver.
An FFL is a Federal Firearms License (or Licensee). FFLs are approved by
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to conduct business in the
firearms industry. Only a registered FFL may receive firearms from
manufacturers, other FFLs, etc, via private carrier and/or USPS shipping.
FFLs are also authorized to conduct background checks for new
firearms purchasers.
- What is NICS and/or InstaCheck?
NICS is the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Managed by
the FBI, the NICS system allows FFLs to run the usual background paperwork
required for every gun sale and/or transfer. In Colorado, NICS checks are
submitted through the CBI (Colorado Bureau of Investigation).
- What is the usual transfer process?
Let's say you've won or purchased a firearm online that needs to be
shipped to our state. First time customers of Becker Tactical should contact
us via e-mail to obtain our
pre-registration form and determine dates and availability for the transfer.
Having gone through these initial steps, Becker Tactical will then contact the seller on your behalf, and will
send a copy of our license to the seller. We can also forward your payment on your
behalf so that everything arrives at once. The seller then ships your item(s)
to us, and once received, you will be contacted to arrange pick-up. You will
then complete the necessary background check paperwork, and receive your firearm.
