ATTENTION CUSTOMERS

6/20/26, The backlog in VCHECK has been cleared by Virginia State Police. We are in the process of notifying customers that were affected to come pick up their firearm(s). There is no need to schedule an appointment to pick up a firearm that was delayed due to the VCHECK outage we will work you in. There may still be delays based on the increasing volume of background checks being run prior to July 1, 2026. 

Freedom Forge Armory will be temporarily closed to the public from June 30, 2026 through July 15, 2026 for facility reorganization, inventory reconciliation, and transition activities supporting expanded Ordnance Development Division operations.

All firearms subject to restrictions under Virginia law effective July 1, 2026, must be physically transferred to the intended recipient no later than close of business on June 29, 2026. This deadline is earlier than the effective date due to scheduled business closure and staffing availability. Customers should not wait until the final week to complete transfers. Transfers not completed by this date may be delayed, canceled, or returned at the customer's expense.

Transfer fees will remain unchanged through June 29, 2026 ($27 and $25 for each additional firearm per transaction.) Beginning July 1, 2026, transfer fees will increase slightly to account for increased administrative and regulatory requirements. This increase is already reflected on the website

We appreciate your patience during this transition period and look forward to seeing you again after the 15th.
