Frequently Asked Questions

How do I buy a firearm online?

Buying a firearm online is straightforward—and we guide you through every step.

Select your firearm, complete checkout, and choose a licensed FFL dealer to receive it. Once it arrives, you’ll complete ATF Form 4473 and the required background check at that dealer before taking possession.

If you don’t have an FFL, we’ll help you choose one that’s convenient and reliable.

Good to know: Accessories, parts, and gear typically ship directly to your door where lawful.

What is an FFL?

An FFL (Federal Firearms Licensee) is a federally licensed dealer authorized to transfer firearms to customers.

Federal law requires firearms purchased online to be shipped to an FFL—not directly to your home. This is where you complete the required paperwork and background check.

If this is your first time, we’ll walk you through it.

How do transfers work?

After your order is placed, your firearm ships to the selected FFL. Once received, they’ll contact you for pickup.

  • Bring a valid government-issued ID
  • Complete ATF Form 4473
  • Complete the background check

After approval, the firearm is released to you. Transfer fees are set by the receiving dealer.

Do I need a background check?

A NICS background check is required for dealer transfers unless a qualifying exemption applies. Form 4473 and all other applicable requirements still apply.

This is completed at the FFL as part of the standard process. Most checks are approved quickly, and we’ll help you understand what to expect.

How do I buy a silencer now?

Effective October 9, 2026, ATF’s nationwide enforcement policy permits eligible silencer transfers without mandatory NFA preapproval or registration. Form 4473, NICS unless exempt, dealer records, eligibility and state/local requirements still apply. Voluntary NFA filings remain available. This is enforcement discretion, not repeal.

Start with How to Buy a Silencer in Texas. We will confirm the item, transfer route and pickup readiness. Same-day pickup may be possible after all requirements are satisfied, but is not guaranteed. Existing applications and voluntary registration need separate coordination.

Machineguns and destructive devices remain subject to full NFA requirements. Ask us about SBRs, SBSs and other item-specific requirements. ATF’s October 9, 2026 guidance and FAQ.

What are the incoming NFA transfer fees?

NFA arrivals on Form 3: $85.00 per item. NFA arrivals without Form 3: $45.00 per item. Standard FFL transfers: $45.00 per firearm.

The transition has created extra processing and bookkeeping work. Form 3 arrivals require additional documentation review and reconciliation; arrivals without Form 3 involve less paperwork, so the fee is lower. We are keeping pricing as fair as possible as the process changes. Full transfer details.

Contact us before shipment and wait for our pickup notice. The incoming form determines our service fee; it does not automatically determine the customer’s transfer route.

What about shipping and delivery?

Firearms ship to a licensed FFL for pickup. Non-firearm items typically ship directly to your home where lawful.

We provide tracking and ensure everything is handled correctly to avoid delays or surprises.

What if my background check is delayed?

Delays occasionally happen and often resolve on their own. Your FFL will notify you when a response is received.

If a check is denied, the FFL will provide guidance on next steps. We’re always available to help explain the process.

First time buyer?
