To legally purchase ammunition, individuals must;

• Meet age requirements

• (CA) Pass a background check: Individuals prohibited from possessing firearms under federal law (e.g., convicted felons, individuals with certain mental health adjudications) are also prohibited from purchasing ammunition.

• Provide valid government-issued identification on delivery

• Comply with state and local laws: Customers must adhere to all state and local laws regarding ammunition possession and purchase. To learn more about state specific laws based on your location, you can visit the NRA-ILA website.

Orders are processed in 1-2 business days.

For California orders - Payments are authorized at checkout but not captured until DOJ approval and release of ammunition.

Shipping fees will be calculated at checkout based on the order. Customers are responsible for all shipping and signature fees.

Q: Do I need to upload my ID when placing an order?
A: Yes. All customers must upload a clear photo of a valid state-issued photo ID with their order. If you are purchasing more than one caliber, you only need to upload your ID to one of the products in your cart.

If an ID is not uploaded, your order will be temporarily placed on hold and we will contact you by email to request it. The ID is used only to verify your age and that the buyer’s details match the information entered at checkout.

Once verification is completed, the ID file is deleted permanently from our system. Only your basic order information (such as name, address, and order details) will be retained in our records per compliance requirements.

No. The person who places the order must be the one to complete the eligibility check and take possession of the ammunition.
