Buy Guns Online, America’s Most Trusted Licensed Firearms & Ammunition Store Since 1909

Yes, buying a firearm online is 100% legal in the United States as long as the purchase complies with federal and state law. You cannot have a firearm shipped directly to your home. It must be shipped to a licensed FFL (Federal Firearms Licensee) dealer near you. At the FFL dealer, you complete ATF Form 4473, pass a NICS background check, and pick up your firearm. Golden Brothers Co handles the shipping to your FFL dealer, you just need to find a local FFL partner.

No, federal law requires all firearms to be transferred through a licensed FFL dealer. Ammunition, however, can ship directly to your home in most states. We verify your state’s restrictions before shipping. If you order ammo from Golden Brothers Co, it ships straight to your door.

An FFL (Federal Firearms Licensee) is a gun dealer licensed by the ATF to legally sell and transfer firearms. When you buy a gun online from Golden Brothers, we ship it to an FFL dealer near you. You visit that dealer, show valid ID, complete ATF Form 4473, and undergo a background check. The FFL dealer charges a transfer fee (typically $20–$50) for this service. We have an FFL dealer locator tool to help you find the closest option.

The timeline typically looks like this: Order placed (Day 1) → We ship to FFL dealer (1–3 business days) → You visit FFL dealer, complete background check (same day if approved instantly) → Take firearm home. Most customers have their firearm within 5–7 business days from order date.

For beginners, we recommend the Glock 19 (reliable, easy to maintain, huge aftermarket support), Sig Sauer P320 (US Army’s official sidearm, modular design), or the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus (slim, lightweight, ideal for everyday carry). All three are available at Golden Brothers Co with nationwide FFL transfer.

NFA stands for National Firearms Act (1934). Items regulated under the NFA include suppressors (silencers), short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBS), machine guns, destructive devices, and AOWs (Any Other Weapons). Purchasing an NFA item requires a Form 4 transfer, $200 tax stamp, and ATF approval, which currently takes several months. Golden Brothers Co is a licensed NFA dealer and handles all Form 4 paperwork.

Absolutely. Buying ammunition in bulk online almost always saves money versus buying box-by-box at a local store. Common bulk deals include 500-round or 1,000-round cases of 9mm, .223, and .308. Buying in bulk also ensures you always have ammo on hand when shortages hit, and they do hit. Golden Brothers Co offers competitive bulk ammo pricing with direct home shipping in most states.

Yes, we ship to all 50 states, but state-specific regulations apply. Some states restrict certain firearm features (California’s ‘assault weapon’ laws), magazine capacities (NY, CA, CO limit 10 rounds), or require additional documentation. We review each order for state compliance before shipping and will notify you if any restrictions apply to your specific order.

FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) ammunition has a lead core covered by a harder metal jacket. It’s used primarily for range training, it’s affordable and feeds reliably. Hollow Point (HP) ammo has a cavity at the tip that causes the bullet to expand on impact, creating a larger wound channel. This makes hollow points ideal for self-defense and home protection. Golden Brothers stocks both types across all major calibers.

Regular cleaning extends the life of your firearm and ensures reliable function. After every range session: field strip the firearm, run a bore brush and patches through the barrel, clean the slide/frame with a solvent, oil lightly with gun oil, and reassemble. We carry cleaning kits, solvents, and lubricants for every firearm type, ask our staff for recommendations specific to your gun.
