Shipping Regulations

Firearm Regulations

All Federal Firearm License laws apply when purchasing a firearm. Anyone desiring to purchase a firearm must be able to pass a background check. There are age limits on the sale of certain items and certain types of items are illegal in certain places. For example, so called ‘assault weapons’ cannot be sold in California and certain types of ammunition are illegal in certain states and cities. It is the customer’s responsibility to make sure that they comply with federal, state, and local laws.

You do not have to be a licensed dealer to buy a firearm. If you are not a licensed dealer (also called an FFL Holder), you must decide with a licensed dealer in your state to receive the item and transfer it to you. The customer must decide with the licensed dealer to receive any firearm, receiver, or any other item described by the ATF as a firearm. For any firearm purchase, the buyer must be able to pass a background check.

Non-Firearm Regulations

Firearm Shipments for Transfers

Our company sells firearms in accordance with all Federal, State & Local firearms regulations. We will only ship a firearm to a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder. The FFL holder must be located within the United States. We do not ship firearms internationally. For us to ship your firearm purchase, you must complete the following steps:

  1. Our company must receive a legible and SIGNED copy of the Federal Firearms License from the dealer that will receive the firearm. This can be done via fax, email, or standard mail.
  2. Payment must be received via Credit Card

Important note: Please make sure that you or your FFL dealer includes your name and order number with FFL when Emailed or faxed.

Please have your FFL dealer email their FFL to our physical address.

Please contact us directly if you have any questions pertaining to transaction procedures or details concerning the Firearm being purchased.
