Big Boy Ballistics is based right here in Papillion at 9257 Platteview Rd, just south of Cornhusker Rd between Bellevue and La Vista. We handle FFL transfers and retail firearms sales for Sarpy County residents who want a fair price, an appointment that's actually theirs, and a dealer who answers the phone.
If you've been shipping your online purchases up to one of the big-box stores in West Omaha and waiting an hour to get the paperwork done, this is going to be a lot less painful. We're a Type 01 FFL operating out of Papillion, and as a fellow local, I get how annoying the alternative is.
$30 transfers. Period. NICS background check is included — there's no $5 "background fee" tacked on at the counter, no $10 "handling charge" for the gun being shipped to us. The price you see is what you pay.
You pick a 15-minute slot. When you show up, we're ready. No standing in line behind walk-ins browsing for a holster or asking about the new Sig release. In and out in about ten minutes.
Suppressor coming in? SBR? We do Form 4 transfers. We'll walk you through fingerprints, photos, and the eForms submission so the ATF clock starts moving on day one — not three weeks later.
Most online retailers (PSA, GunBroker, Brownells, Bud's) have an FFL finder. Search "Papillion 68046" and select Big Boy Ballistics. Or send the seller our FFL directly — it's on our homepage.
Once your firearm arrives at our shop, we open it, inspect it, and log it into our bound book. Same day, every time. We'll email or text you the moment it's processed.
Use the appointment booker on this site to grab a 15-minute slot. Bring your driver's license, complete a 4473, NICS comes back, you sign your A&D entry, and you're walking out with your gun.
If you live in Papillion, you're 5 to 12 minutes away. We regularly serve customers from Shadow Lake, Settlers Creek, Tara Plaza, Stoneridge, Eagle Hills, Walnut Creek, and the older neighborhoods around Papillion-La Vista High. Easy access via Cornhusker Rd, Hwy 370, or Platteview Rd from any direction.
We also serve a lot of the active duty and civilian community at Offutt Air Force Base — we're roughly 12 minutes west of the main gate. PCS-ing in and need to consolidate firearms shipped from your previous duty station? That's a regular Tuesday for us. Reach out and we'll coordinate the inbound transfers.
Beyond Papillion proper, we serve La Vista, Bellevue, Gretna, Springfield, Plattsmouth, and the Omaha metro. See the dedicated Omaha and Bellevue pages for drive-time and process details specific to those cities.
All transactions subject to federal and Nebraska state law. State transfer tax may apply. Valid government-issued photo ID required at pickup.
A standard FFL transfer is $30, which includes the NICS background check. NFA and Class III items such as suppressors and SBRs are $50. There are no hidden fees.
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID showing your current address, such as a Nebraska driver's license. If your ID does not show your current address, bring a supporting document. You must be 21 for handguns and 18 for long guns.
Have your online retailer ship the firearm to Big Boy Ballistics using our FFL. When it arrives we log it into our bound book the same day and notify you by text or email. You then book a short appointment to complete the ATF Form 4473 and NICS background check.
Firearms ship to 9257 Platteview Rd, Papillion, NE 68046. Contact us first so we can expect the package and send our license directly to your seller.
Yes. We are NFA-capable and can process suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and other Class III transfers for $50. We can walk you through the ATF paperwork and tax stamp process.
Most NICS background checks clear within minutes. Occasionally the FBI issues a delay, which can take up to three business days. If that happens we will contact you as soon as you are cleared to complete the transfer.
