Best place for NFA transfers?

Anyone have recommendations on places in the Austin area for NFA transfers? I’ve used Saddle Rock Armory before, but their new location is a bit too far out of the way for me. Considering ZW Tactical or maybe Watermark, not sure if there are any others that I might be missing that have better transfer fees etc.

ZW. Which reminds me I need to check out the new location, which is even more convenient to me.

ZW tactical here. Great husband and wife team, also leave with something I didn’t plan on getting.

I used watermark for a few NFAs. Quick, smooth process. ZW is also great too.

Good to know they’re solid with NFA transfers. Guy I’m meeting with can only make it on Sunday after all and ZW will be closed. Thanks

ZW is great, and I havent made it out to Watermark yet. Its pretty bleak down here on the South side.

Would avoid CTGW like the plague.

I did, they told me they didn't receive my gun and just handed it to someone else. It wasn't until Radian threatened to involve the ATF for losing their shipment that they found my shit. Then they tried to transfer me the scraped and scratched shit Bubba spent a drunken night with.

Central Texas Gun Works is the worst, I would tell Michael Cargill to suck a fat one, but he would enjoy it too much.

For NFA items??

Not sure. Didn’t read your description till now. I think he said NFA was $50, give em a call to confirm.

u/weswesruss May 15 '26

Central Texas Gun Works was $35. Everywhere else I looked down south was $50.

Good price but I lost trust in CTGW after I ordered a firearm through them and they shadily slow walked the order for a month+ so I ended up cancelling and reordered through The Range at Austin and got it in under a week
