Purchasing a firearm from us requires following firearm laws such as The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, and all local, state and federal firearms laws.  The laws pertain to you the purchaser and us the sellers.  The process is not difficult as long as we follow the law.  Here are four simple steps:

1. Understanding the Brady Act: The act requires a background check for anyone purchasing a firearm from a Federal Licensed Firearms ("FFL") dealer.  Background check responsibility rests with state and local government.  Some states perform their own (New Hampshire for handguns) and other states rely on the National Instant Criminal Background Check System ("NICS").  New Hampshire relies on the NICS for long gun purchases.
2. A Federal Firearms Licensed ("FFL") dealer must receive your firearm.  You need to select a holder of a Federal Firearms Lincense for us to ship your firearms purchase(s) to.  Please make sure the FFL holder agrees to receive your purchase from us.  This is your responsibility.  At checkout on GunBroker.com, you select the FFL holder to receive your purchase.  Remember, you need to contact the FFL holder you want your firearm(s) shipped to prior to completing checkout to confirm they will accept the shipment.  You can find an FFL dealer at www.atf.gov/about/foia/ffl-list.html.  The listing is updated monthly by the ATF.  GunBroker.com also has a listing of FFL holders for your convenience at www.gunbroker.com/FFL/DealerNetwork.aspx.
3. Once we receive your order with your chosen FFL dealer indicated, we will verify the FFL holder for you to make sure the licensee is current.  If the licensee is current, there is no problem.  If not, we will find one close to you and notify you to get your approval of our selection.
4. Your selected FFL will receive the shipment; notify you that it has arrived; have you fill out an ATF Form 4473 and complete your background check through the NICS and/or your local and state background check system.  Once passed, you will be allowed to complete the transfer and take possession of the firearm(s). If you fail the background check, you have the option of either returning the firearm to us, or working with your state law enforcement to correct your records so the transfer can be completed.
5. Be sure you know the firearms purchasing and ownership laws of your state.  We will not ship firearms to an out-of-state FFL where they are prohibited/outlawed or otherwise on a "banned" list.  You must check with your FFL first and make sure the firearm you want to bid on is legal and you can own it.

Buying from us directly or at a gun show still requires an ATF Form 4473 be completed.  We will conduct the NICS background check immediately.  Once the "proceed" authorization has been received, and upon payment in full, you can receive your firearm directly from us.
