We recommend that you use this FFL Kit to streamline the process in obtaining an ffl. Below are the items included in the kit. As you can see from this extensive list, it is wise to get help from a veteran FFL holder.

- BATF-Approved Acquisitions & Dispositions Book (to log your gun sales). You are required to have one of these, and it costs $8-10 by itself elsewhere (download version includes all the pages for you to print, and you can get it bound at Kinko’s, Staples, Office Max, or Office Depot for about $2 to $3).
- An extensive chapter devoted to Day to Day Operational Issues, a Summary of Record Keeping Requirements, and current copies of relevant forms, where available.
