Questions & answers
How does buying a gun online work?
You order and pay here. We ship the firearm to a licensed dealer (FFL) you choose. You go to that dealer, fill in ATF Form 4473, pass the background check, and take the firearm home.
Do I need my own FFL?
No. You need a dealer willing to receive the transfer. Most shops and many pawn shops do this for a fee they set themselves, usually $20-$50.
How do I pay?
Credit or debit card on our secure payment page. We calculate the total on our server from current prices, so the amount you approve matches your cart.
Can you ship to my state?
We ship where the model is legal. Some rifles, magazines and features cannot go to California, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and other states with feature or capacity rules. If yours is restricted we cancel and refund instead of shipping.
What if I fail the background check?
The dealer cannot release the firearm. It comes back to us and we refund the purchase price, less shipping already spent.
Can I return a firearm?
Yes, within 14 days if it is unfired and in the original packaging, subject to transfer rules. Email us first — a firearm can only travel back through a licensed dealer.
How long does shipping take?
We confirm the dispatch date by email once your dealer's licence is on file. Lead times depend on the item and the distributor holding it, so we confirm rather than promise.
Do you sell ammunition?
Yes, in the calibers we stock most. Ammunition ships separately and only where the law allows it.
Is my card information safe?
We never see or store your card number. It is entered on the payment provider's page and handled by them.
