Learning how to buy a gun online is straightforward when you use a licensed dealer for the transfer. Eligible buyers can order a completed firearm online, but the firearm must be shipped to a Federal Firearms License holder (FFL)—such as a local gun store, range, or pawn shop—for the required paperwork and background check. It cannot be shipped directly to your home.
How to buy a gun online in four steps
1. Choose your firearm and place the order
Browse the available Myrl’s Country firearms and review the caliber, barrel length, configuration, included components, price, and availability shown on the product page. Before ordering, make sure the model is legal for you to own in your state and local area. Add your selection to the cart and complete the secure checkout process.
2. Choose a local FFL dealer
Contact a nearby licensed dealer before ordering to confirm that they accept online firearm transfers and to ask about their transfer fee. Provide the dealer’s business name and address during checkout when requested. The dealer will need to send Myrl’s Country a current copy of its FFL before a completed firearm can ship.
3. We verify the FFL and ship your order
After the order and dealer information are complete, Myrl’s Country verifies the license, securely prepares the firearm, and ships it to the selected FFL. Tracking information is sent by email so you can follow the shipment. Wait for the dealer to contact you after delivery; the dealer may need time to receive the firearm into its inventory.
4. Complete the transfer and pick up your firearm
Visit the dealer with valid government-issued photo identification. You will complete the required ATF Form 4473, and the dealer will conduct the background check required for the transfer. The dealer will follow all applicable waiting-period, age, identification, and state requirements and will collect its transfer fee. Once the transfer is approved and complete, you can take possession of the firearm.
What to confirm before ordering
- The firearm is legal for you to buy and possess where you live.
- Your selected FFL accepts transfers from online sellers.
- The name and address on your identification meet the dealer’s requirements.
- You understand the dealer’s transfer fee and pickup procedure.
- Your order and FFL contact information are accurate.
Frequently asked questions
Can a completed firearm be shipped to my home?
No. A completed firearm purchased online must be shipped to a licensed FFL, where the required transfer paperwork and background check are completed.
Do parts and complete uppers require an FFL transfer?
Many non-controlled parts and complete upper assemblies can generally ship directly to a residential address where lawful. The regulated lower receiver or completed firearm requires an FFL transfer. Product restrictions and state or local law can vary, so review the listing and confirm any uncertainty before ordering.
What happens if my background check is delayed?
Your dealer must follow the response and timing provided by the background-check system and all applicable law. Myrl’s Country cannot override a dealer’s transfer decision or legal requirements.
