Federal law requires that you be 21 years of age or older to purchase a stripped receiver or frame. If a frame or receiver can only be made into a long gun (rifle or shotgun), it is still a frame or receiver not a handgun or long gun. However, they still are "firearms" by definition, and subject to the same GCA limitations as any other firearms. See Section 921(a)(3)(b). 18 U.S.C. Section 922(b)(1) makes it unlawful for a licensee to sell any firearm other than a shotgun or rifle to any person under the age of 21.
All firearms, magazines, receivers, and restricted law enforcement items are sold and shipped in accordance with all existing federal, state, and local laws, and regulations. Many of the firearms, magazines, and parts for sale on this website, may be restricted or prohibited in your area. Please check your local and state regulations before ordering. You must be 18 years or older to purchase a long gun and 21 years or older to purchase a handgun per ATF rules, but state and local laws may differ, and you will need to check your local laws before purchasing a firearm.
All new firearms are shipped in the original manufacturer's box, with magazine(s), accessories, and applicable warranty. Firearms requiring warranty work must be returned to the factory within 1 year of purchase for repair. Accessories and special-order items not normally sold by our store will not be covered under warranty even if these products are part of an integrated firearms package unless we have guaranteed the entire package in writing. Please contact the original manufacturer for warranty information on all accessories and special-order items.
FOR ANY TRANSACTION IT IS REQUIRED THAT YOU CONTACT US BEFORE HAVING YOUR PURCHASE SHIPPED TO US. YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL TRANSACTION/PROCESSING FEES AND WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL FEES BECAUSE OF MISCOMMUNICATION.
When contacting us in request of a transfer of firearm be sure to include (but not limited to):
- Your name, address, phone number and email
- Detailed description of item you would like to purchase including manufacturer, model and description of what you are looking to purchase.
- Seller contact information: business name, address, website, contact name, email and phone number.
IF YOU PURCHASED A FIREARM FROM A SELLER ON GUNBROKER OR OTHER ONLINE SELLER: If you are using us for the transfer, our FFL information is on file with GunBroker and Bud's Gun Shop so there is nothing further you need to do. However, we do ask that you send us the tracking number you receive from the seller, that way we can keep an eye out for your item. If you are using another online seller or FFL, either the seller will reach out to us and request our FFL information, or you can contact us with the seller's complete information and we'll reach out to them directly, whether by email, fax, or phone. Once we receive your item, please allow 1 business day for us to log in the firearm and reach out to you via phone or email for a mutually convenient pickup appointment. We process transfers daily and we won't forget about you!
IF YOU PURCHASED A FIREARM FROM US AND/OR ARE CONDUCTING A FIREARM TRANSFER WITH US: We charge $50 for the transfer of any pistol, rifle or receiver, including NICS. A trigger lock will be included free of charge if your purchase does not come with one. We will contact you via email or phone and provide several dates we are available to conduct the transfer. We do not currently offer NFA services.
IF YOU PURCHASED A FIREARM FROM US ON GUNBROKER AND WE ARE NOT CONDUCTING YOUR TRANSFER: If you have selected an FFL that has their FFL information on file with GunBroker and Bud's Gun shop, their information will be sent to us electronically at the conclusion of the listing. There is nothing further you need to do. If you have NOT selected a default FFL, and/or one that has their FFL information on file with GunBroker, please have your receiving FFL contact us by phone or email after your gun purchase so that we may verify their FFL information. If you purchased your gun from our website, please have your receiving FFL contact us by email or fax to provide their FFL information.
IF YOU PURCHASED YOUR GUN FROM A PRIVATE SELLER: If a private seller is sending a firearm to us that is NOT an FFL, we must receive a legible and valid copy of their driver's license. If we do not receive a copy of the seller's driver's license, the transfer will not be accepted. THIS IS OUR POLICY AND THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS! Once we receive your item, please allow 1 business day for us to log in the firearm and reach out to you via email for a mutually convenient pickup appointment. We process many transfers daily and we won't forget about you!
MORE ON THE FFL PROCESS: DON'T LIE FOR THE OTHER GUY - BUY A GUN FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN'T, BUY 10 YEARS IN JAIL! Straw purchases are a big NO NO! Here are some examples:
1. We will not sell anyone a gun if we learn it's for someone else.
2. If we find out you're purchasing a handgun for an underage child, we won't sell you a gun.
3. If you're buying a gun as a gift for someone else, we will be conducting a NICS check for that individual, not you.
We always reserve the right to DENY any firearm(s) transfer (in state or out of state) for any reason without prior notice. Additionally, if we receive a DELAY notification from NICS and this notification has NOT changed to PROCEED after 3 business days, we also reserve the right to NOT transfer the firearm to you at the conclusion of this 3-day grace period. In fact, we reserve the right to NOT release a firearm to you for ANY reason we deem necessary, and are not required to transfer a firearm to you even if passing a background check successfully. If we receive a DENY response from NICS, we will attempt to return the firearm to the sending FFL Dealer. Remember, you are subject to the seller's return policy if they have one in place. Should the sending FFL Dealer or private party refuse to accept the firearm as a return, we will only pay you Fair Market Value (FMV) less 20% and transfer fee. FFL Dealer transfer fees are NOT refundable under any circumstance. This policy is NOT negotiable. If you book an appointment with us for an FFL Transfer, we expect you to show up at the agreed upon day and time. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please contact us at least 24 hours before your appointment. You may email or text us. We do not do "timeframes" for appointments, meaning between this time and that time. Appointments that show up 10 minutes or more after our mutually agreed upon scheduled time or no-shows, will be charged a $25 cancellation/no-show fee. We run a tight ship, so when someone doesn't show up, that means we could have had that time slot available for someone else.
LOCAL FIREARMS REGULATIONS IN MICHIGAN: You must be 18 years old to purchase a long gun and/or rifle ammunition and be 21 years old to purchase a pistol and/or ammunition for a pistol. A valid Drivers License will be required for all ammunition purchases.
You must be a resident in the state of Michigan with valid Michigan identification to purchase a firearm and fill out ATF Form 4473 for an FBI/NICS check, as well as successfully pass a background check to take legal possession of a firearm. Unless of course, you are purchasing a firearm from us from out of state and transferring to your receiving FFL.
As of March 3rd, 2020, a valid Concealed Pistol License (CPL) is no longer a NICS alternative.
FINAL NOTE: FIREARMS CAN ONLY BE RECEIVED BY OR SHIPPED TO A LICENSED DEALER (FFL HOLDER). FFL's charge a fee to transfer firearms and fees do vary from dealer to dealer. Please be aware of that and conduct your own due diligence.
Be sure to always check local laws and regulations
