Conrad & Sons Guns is a Class 07 FFL manufacturer and Class 02 SOT in Imperial, Missouri. We do not have a public showroom. Most complete firearms are ordered from our distributors. Some AR parts are kept on site and marked on the website as on hand.
Shop work is by appointment. Please do not come in just because a carrier marked a package delivered — we log every firearm in our ATF software first, then contact you to schedule. Transfers are typically Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 4:30–9:30 p.m. Other days are used for stocking and manufacturing.

FFL & NFA Transfers
No transfer fee on Silencer Shop orders when you select Conrad & Sons Guns as your dealer. Only Silencer Shop suppressors may transfer on a 4473; all other suppressors must go on an ATF Form 4. There is no multi-item discount on NFA — each suppressor, SBR, or SBS is charged the full per-item fee. Have the shipping dealer request our FFL at sales@conradguns.com. Wait for our call after the gun is logged — a delivered scan is not a pickup appointment.

$25
Each additional Title I firearm on the same transfer

How to book: Call 636-229-1966 or email sales@conradguns.com. Bring the firearm unloaded, in a case, with no ammunition in the case. Bring a photo ID to every transfer. Custom builds start with a consult so we can lock in the platform, caliber, and finish before parts are ordered.
Payments: Cash, Venmo, and all major credit cards. Credit-card payments include a 4% surcharge. Cash and Venmo do not. We do not complete a transfer on a payment that has not cleared. Do not mail cash.
What we do not do: Pin and weld muzzle devices, thread barrels, cut or crown barrels, remove stuck cases/squibs/bore obstructions, mill slides for optics, or convert a firearm to make it legal in a restricted state. We will not assemble, coat, or repair a configuration we reasonably believe violates federal or Missouri law.
All prices are labor only and may change without notice. Parts, shipping, and sales tax are extra. Firearm transfers follow federal law, Missouri law, and ATF rules in effect that day. We reserve the right to refuse any job or transfer. See our FAQ for FFL steps, CCW/NICS rules, and pickup scheduling.
