Federal law requires all firearm purchases to go through a licensed FFL dealer. RK Guns handles this cleanly: you buy online, they ship to an FFL near you, you complete the background check and paperwork in person, then take possession.

• •Timeline: 3-7 business days from payment verification to delivery, depending on your location and local FFL availability.

• •Shipping: $9.99 flat-rate on all firearms orders. No additional FFL transfer fees charged by RK Guns—though your local FFL may charge their own processing or background check fee (varies by dealer, so confirm beforehand).

RK Guns provides a dedicated "How to Buy Guns Online" guide for customers new to remote purchases. They handle the logistics; you handle the legal part at your local dealer.
