Shipping FAQ's

 

Pickett's Mill Armory ships all items via UPS Ground. AR15 Pistols may ship expedited via UPS

 

Pickett's Mill Armory understands that the current legal environment is fluid and laws are frequently overturned or appealed. PMA cannot be expected to know your individual state laws on a day to day basis. As such, the list below is the shipping restrictions in place as 9/25/2022

 

The customer is responsible for knowing his/her state laws regarding firearm transfers. Contact your local FFL dealer with any questions regarding the sale or transfer of firearms. Contact your local FFL before ordering a firearm to verify their transfer fee and to ensure they will receive your transfer. The customer assumes all responsibility and cost for returned firearms due to FFL refusal or failure to receive.

If you order a handgun / AR-15 Pistol, complete AR or AK receiver, or stripped lower receiver, YOU MUST be:

1. A legal resident of the state in which you are ordering.
2. 21 years of age or older to complete the transfer through your FFL.

Exceptions: Military personnel stationed in a state other than their legal residence may purchase firearms across state lines. Contact your local FFL receiving the transfer as you may have to provide proof of deployment, residence, etc.

If a customer wishes to change the FFL they want to use after the order has shipped, they will be additionally charged for the cost of shipping. If a FFL is not available at the time of delivery, the package will not be held at the carrier hub and will be returned to Pickett’s Mill Armory. Additional shipping charges will apply to orders that need to be reshipped.
