American Gun Owners — step-by-step: how to buy a gun online (layman’s guide)

Buying a gun online can seem confusing — but not with American Gun Owners (AGO). We’ve built a system that eliminates the research, memorization, and guesswork. Every step is guided automatically so you can shop like a professional with total confidence. From your first click to lifelong ownership, AGO has you covered.

How it works - FOR AGO CUSTOMERS

1. Start with a quick quiz

Take our short quiz on the Home Page to get your customized all-in-one firearm kit — built around your goals, experience level, and needs. Prefer to browse? You can always explore our full lineup in Shop All.

2. We handle the FFL for you

At checkout, simply enter your home address (for Non-FFL items) and our automatic FFL selector will match you with a nearby licensed dealer for any FFL items.

• FFL items: firearms and, in some states, ammunition.
• Non-FFL items: accessories, apparel, and other AGO products.

3. Track everything easily

You’ll get clear tracking updates in your AGO account and via email. Non-FFL items ship straight to your door, while FFL items are automatically sent to your selected local gun store.

4. Pickup made simple

Most FFL dealers call you within a day of delivery — but you can always call them first to confirm pickup details.

5. Bring the basics

When you arrive, bring your receipt, valid ID, and a small transfer fee (typically $25–$75). Ask the FFL if they need anything else before you go.

6. Final step: Background Check & Form 4473

You’ll fill out ATF Form 4473 and complete a NICS background check right at the FFL. Some states may have an extra form(s) like a safety quiz, etc— AGO and your FFL will guide you through it.

Congratulations — YOU'RE NOW A GUN OWNER!
