A Cut Above Pawn

I had a lower receiver shipped to them to do a transfer. Since I am a permanent resident, I'm almost always hit with a one day delay. I went in 06/01 to start my background check, and of course, I'm hit with the delay which I was expecting. I live an hour away but work in the area so I figured I'd have to drive back up on my day off, sucks, but no problem.

Then next day 06/02 (today) I get a call, stating my background has cleared, and I am ready to pick up the receiver. So, I make the one hour drive. I get there, and the gentleman at the front desk starts doing a recertification. I explain to him that I don't need to be recertified and I tell him I have never had to do that in the past. He ignores and continues on saying that's how they do things.

So, after about 25 minutes, Guess what? I'm hit ONCE AGAIN WITH A DELAY If you're familiar with how this works, you'd know, there is no need to recertify. I explain AGAIN that I do not need to be recertified! He says "well, since there's a new application we have to wait for the hold to clear again"

Wasted 2 hours of my day off over them just either not knowing how to do things properly, or just not caring enough to call someone who does. Now, I have to drive up AGAIN once another delay clears.

always a great experience with these guys, been using them for years

Super nice staff. I can't stress this one enough. Most pawn shops are owned and staffed by crotchety people, but the dudes at A Cut Above are excellent.

Called prior to make sure a recent change of address wouldn't cause problems, and sure enough it didn't. Very knowledgeable and interested in helping. My new go-to FFL for F2F.

This was my second time in for a transfer. Very easy transactions.

Seems like a very popular place to get a FFL transfer

Always a pleasure to visit ACAP. Friendly, helpful owner and staff. My preferred place for transfers.

A CUT ABOVE PAWN IS OUTSTANDING .
MY BOY AND I GO THERE ALL THE TIME .
WE DO ALL OF OUR TRANSFERS HERE .

A great spot to go and send transfers to, they have a good selection of stuff but its a pawn shop not a gun store first and foremost. They have cheap transfers and great service. Honestly a joy to visit whenever I'm near.

I've done a good amount of transfers and purchases here, never had any issues.

My go-to for transfers.

I've done a few transfers here now

Anytime I have to meet someone on the west side I choose A Cut Above Pawn.

I'm glad they're open on Sundays.
A reasonable transfer fee of $35

I have no complaints It's always been quick & easy to do transfers here.

Had an after-Christmas transfer when I bought from a NWFA member. The guy working the shop clearly knew his way around the transfer system, and did all he could to expedite the process.

Shop itself was clean and well-lit. Small but varied selection of goods. Prices for their stock aren't much more than any other pawn.

Transfer fee was I believe $30 (though there was a sign posted that this amount is being raised).

Would recommend a transfer here for any private sale, they know the process and make it as painless as they can.

We came all the way up from the coast for a transfer and was taken care of properly would definitely deal with them with confidence...

Completed a two firearms background check and FFL transfer. Fed-Ex'd both firearms to them direct from Symrna GA manufacturer. Each were shipped within a couple days of the other and held until I was notified by sender that they had arrived. Tuesday afternoon paperwork and phone call from Jeff by 5p same day letting me know BGC had cleared. Call in to OSP versus computer FICS, or some combination is time consuming on their part, but worth the fees. Had my new safe additions back home by 630p. Thanks!

Gun deals are great but not the wait. My last transfer at BiMart took about two weeks.

What if you can get a great deal and no wait? Order online and ship to A Cut Above Pawn. My new pistol arrived today, I called and confirmed they had it. Drove there, filled out the 4473, paid the $20 + $10, and they called the OSP. What I wasn't expecting was they stayed on the line and got me my pistol in about 20 min. I know several gun stores are calling and holding which is great service but I don't know anyone else with a lower price for a FFL transfer.

Reminded me of buying guns last century...

These guys are great.
I used to come in almost weekly to do transfers with board members. Went quite a while before coming back and the staff recognized me as a frequent flyer.
Rather than doing the NICS online they called, eliminating wait time. Great transfer spot.

Had the best transfer experience in a while last night and had to share.
I arrived shortly before seller and the guys there got started right away on my paperwork and putting a call into the BGC line. Seller arrived and we finished paperwork shortly before our call was taken. Another 5 or 10 minutes and we were done and I was headed home with a new toy!
It was so nice to be able to be done in one and not have to make a return trip!!
Thanks again 'A Cut Above' is right!

I recently sold a firearm to a member. He suggested using this location for the transfer. Upon arrival, I remembered that I had met another member here pre-pandemic to purchase my first handgun. Both visits were painless and efficent. It's a bit of a drive to get there from Portland, but both times it has been worth the effort for a smooth transaction.

I have been going to A-Cut-Above for longer than I've lived in the area and always have, at worst, neutral experiences. They post their prices and stick to the script. I have never been surprised by anything here and usually the experience is pleasant.

I have done more transfers than purchasing firearms here but as of late they have had a pretty good selection of musical instruments, and have purchased a few guitars and amps from them.

The prices seem a little on the higher side but that's the price we have to pay to have retail brick-and-mortar stores available to us. Also, it could very well be that their prices are very reasonable and I am unreasonbly expecting prices from 20 years ago.

I do all of my transfers at ACAP. This is the best place to do gun transfers FTF. They are extremely helpful and get transfers going fast and charge a very reasonable amount of money for transfers.

They also purchase your used guns for a fair price so this is the best shop to look for milsurp and other used firearms.
