How to Buy a Firearm Online (FFL Transfer Process)
Buying a firearm online is safe and legal when done correctly. Here’s how the process works at Hudson Valley Arms:
Step-by-Step Firearm Purchase Process
1. Select Your Firearm
Browse our online inventory and verify the firearm is legal in your state or locality.
2. Choose a Receiving FFL Dealer
Federal law requires firearms to be shipped to a licensed dealer. Select an FFL during checkout or provide one after purchase.
3. FFL License Verification
We verify the receiving dealer’s license using the ATF FFL EZ-Check system before shipping.
4. Firearm Shipment to FFL
Your firearm ships directly to the verified FFL — never to a residential address.
5. Background Check & Transfer
Visit your FFL to complete ATF Form 4473 and the required background check.
6. Firearm Pickup (If Approved)
Once approved, you may take possession in accordance with state and federal firearm laws.
Important: Background check approval is determined by the government, not Hudson Valley Arms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Firearms Online

Yes. Federal law allows firearms to be purchased online as long as they are shipped to a licensed Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). The buyer must complete the required background check at the receiving FFL before taking possession.
Do firearms ship to my home?
No. Firearms do not ship to residential addresses. All firearms purchased through Hudson Valley Arms are shipped only to a verified FFL dealer, in compliance with federal law.
What is an FFL transfer?
An FFL transfer is the legal process of shipping a firearm to a licensed dealer who completes the background check and transfer paperwork before releasing the firearm to the buyer.

You may select an FFL during checkout or provide one after purchase. Hudson Valley Arms verifies all FFL licenses using the ATF FFL EZ-Check system prior to shipment.
