Transfers at Franklin's Firearms, asked and answered
Does Franklin's Firearms do FFL transfers?
Franklin's Firearms holds a current federal firearms licence at its Ottawa premises, which is what a dealer needs to receive a firearm for you. A licence is not a promise to take outside transfers, so call before anything ships.
How much does Franklin's Firearms charge for a transfer?
Not reported yet. Transfers in Illinois typically run $40 to $75. If you have used this one, the fee box above takes a report.
Is there a cheaper FFL near Ottawa?
Range USA #20 is 36.1 miles away and charges $100. That is the cheapest nearby dealer with a fee on record, not the cheapest that exists: most dealers have no published number at all.
What do I need to bring to pick up a firearm?
A government photo ID with your current address, and whatever Illinois requires on top of the federal Form 4473 and the NICS check. The dealer runs the paperwork at their counter; the seller ships to them, not to you.

A federal firearms licence is not an endorsement, and licensees are not required to accept transfers from third parties. This listing comes from the ATF August 2026 licensee list. Fees are reported by buyers, change without notice, and are not a quote. Call before shipping anything. Licensees who operate from a home and want this address taken down can ask us to remove it.
