Per ATF requirements you must be the actual buyer to purchase a firearm. You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase a long gun and at least 21 years of age to purchase a handgun, receiver, or other. You will also have to successfully complete an ATF Form 4473 before taking possession of the firearm. The actual buyer has to be the person that purchases from the website with their information and their funds. The buyer’s legal name must be used when making the online purchase. The actual buyer also has to be the person that completes the 4473 and picks up the firearm. If you chose not follow these guidelines, you will incur restocking fees per the policy below.
There will absolutely no exceptions!!!!!!!!!
Pursuant to ATF rule 2021R-08F which declares most, if not all, braced pistols as Short Barrel Rifles (SBR) subordinate to NFA requirements,
Bite The Bullet LLC will not longer accept transfers of ANY braced pistols.
Any braced pistols, including braced firearms that use shotgun ammunition with barrels less than 18 inches such as but not limited to the Mossberg Shockwave (not common birdshead version), received on transfer for customers as a result of third party purchases prior to the rule taking effect on January 13, 2023, and received in shipment at our shop after that date, will be surrendered to law enforcement per ATF requirements:
8. WHAT ARE THE COMPLIANCE OPTIONS FOR AN FFL/SOT HOLDER IN POSSESSION OF FIREARMS EQUIPPED WITH A “STABILIZING BRACE,” WHICH IS AN SBR, AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE FINAL RULE?
• For SBRs equipped with a “stabilizing brace” that are in their possession, complete and submit through the eForms system a Notice of Firearms Manufactured or Imported, ATF Form 2 within 120-days from the date of publication in the Federal Register.
• Permanently remove or alter the “stabilizing brace” so that it cannot be reattached and thereby removing it from regulation as a “firearm” under the NFA.
• Remove the short barrel and attach a 16-inch or longer rifled barrel to the firearm thus removing it from the provisions of the NFA.
• Turn the firearm into your local ATF office.• Destroy the firearm. For more information go to How to Properly Destroy Firearms | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (atf.gov).
We do not have a manufacturing FFL license and will make no attempt to modify firearms nor process any NFA forms associated with achieving regulatory compliance as pertains to transfers.

TRANSFERS
Standard Transfers:We charge a receiving/background check fee of $30.00 per serialized item for standard non- NFA transfers.
It is the responsibility of the customer to have the FFL (Licensee) or Identification (Individual) provided to Bite the Bullet if it is not sent with the transfer firearm. If Bite the Bullet is required to obtain this for the customer, the transfer is subject to an additional $30 fee.
—EXAMPLE: 1 firearm= $30, 2 firearms= $60, 3 firearms= $90, and so forth.—
NFA Transfers: We ONLY provide NFA transfers for items purchased through our Silencer Shop Direct Dealer Program
FIREARM STORAGE CHARGES
We will hold your in-store, on-line, and transfer firearms at our shop until you can process your background check and take possession from our store. However, after two weeks if that this does not occur, we will charge a $10 per week storage fee to hold the firearm at our shop unless prior arrangements are agreed to by the shop regarding your situation. These exceptions to storage charges include, but are not limited to: delays processing an appeal of a Denial status on the background check, NFA items with submitted form awaiting ATF approval, repair work pending completion. Failure to reach this storage fee waiver agreement with the shop, either through lack of communication or negligence in reaching a confirmed agreement will result in full storage fees being assessed.
Abandoned items: Any item left at the shop subject to the $10 per week storage charge will be considered abandoned once the storage fees are equal to the assessed value of the item.
