How To Purchase A Firearm Online

The process for purchasing a firearm online is quite simple. Please follow the instructions listed below to ensure a hassle-free firearms transaction.

1) Locate someone in your area who has a Federal Firearms License (FFL). Any gun shop, gun smith, pawn shop, or gun range operates with an FFL and can help you out with your transaction.

2) Contact your FFL holder and tell them you would like to transfer a firearm from Commonwealth Collectible. Most FFL holders will perform this action for a nominal fee. If a dealer is unwilling to transfer a firearm for you, or charges "an arm a leg" take your business elsewhere ~ and remember where NOT to shop when looking for your next firearm or shooting accessory.

3) Your FFL holder must send a signed copy of their license to us. They must send a signed copy of their license to the address listed below. Fax copies are not acceptable. Please ask them to include a note with the FFL stating your name and the item you have purchased.

Commonwealth Collectibles
5315 Williamson Rd.
Roanoke, VA 24012

4) Once we receive the FFL and payment the item will be shipped to the FFL holder.

5) The FFL holder you have selected to receive your firearm will perform your background check and transfer the firearm to you. Your FFL holder will also ensure the transfer adheres to all other state or local laws governing firearms transactions. If unsure about regulations in your state, please consult your local FFL holder. For example, some states only allow 1 handgun to be purchased in a 30 Day period; and some firearms are not legal in some states. Firearms will not be shipped to any location where they are restricted.

As an added "free service", we can arrange shipment to a licensed dealer in your area. When you place your order, our warehouse personnel will recommend a local dealer who can receive your weapon and transfer it to you. The amount charged by the local dealer for the transfer is beyond our control. The customary cost for a transfer ranges from $25 to $35. If you prefer to use a specific dealer for your firearm transfer, simply let our warehouse personnel know at the time of your order.
