How to Purchase a Firearm Online From Palmetto State Armory

Purchasing a firearm online is relatively simple if you know the rules.  The most important thing you have to do is find an FFL Dealer (Federal Firearm License) that you trust or that is located near you.  This is a must because it is not legal to ship a firearm directly to your home.

Below is a list of the steps you must go through in order to purchase a firearm online from Palmetto State Armory.

  • Choose your preferred FFL Dealer.  This is where your purchase will ship to. 
  • Contact the FFL Dealer of your choice and notify them that you will be using them for the transfer from the PSA website.
  • The FFL Dealer then has to send a copy of their license to PSA for approval. 
  • Ask if the FFL Dealer has a transfer fee.  Many dealers will charge a small fee because they take care of the background check and the Firearm Transaction Record. 

Once those steps are completed, you are free to purchase your firearm on the Palmetto State Armory website. Simply use the address of your FFL Dealer as your shipping address.  

Once your firearm arrives, they will give you a call for you to come in and pick it up.  Before you are allowed to leave the store with your firearm, you will have to pass a background check and fill out the Firearm Transaction Record form (4473). Make sure to check your firearm for flaws or blemishes before leaving the dealer with it. If you find something that is damaged on your new firearm, that needs to be taken care of before signing for your firearm and taking it out of the store. Otherwise, you may not be able to return or exchange it.

Does Palmetto State Armory Have a Military Discount?

They do offer military discounts at PSA brick and mortar stores, but don’t have a specific military web discount code. That said, they are always running great specials for everyone.

Why is Palmetto State Armory always out of stock?

The answer to this question is a somewhat loaded question.  As someone the monitors lots of gun, ammo and accessory retailers inventory I wouldn’t say PSA is out of stock any more often than other retailers. I will say part of the reason some of their branded guns, parts and accessories are OOS sometimes is because they are in demand.  We will be doing several reviews on these products soon.
