Frontier's three-guns-one-fee pricing and the one-per-transaction $10 TICS rule mean a two- or three-gun order picked up together can cost no more in fees than a single pistol. Worth planning.

Frequently asked questions
What's the cheapest FFL transfer near Knoxville?
Among published rates: $30 (East Tennessee Gunsmith Services for handguns, or Frontier Firearms covering up to three guns on one order), plus the $10 state check.
Can I pick the firearm up the same day it arrives?
Usually yes — the dealer logs it in, you complete the 4473, the TICS check runs, and Tennessee adds no waiting period on top.
Do parts and ammo need a dealer too?
No. Only firearms (and serialized frames/receivers) transfer through an FFL. Everything else ships to your door.
