FAQ'S

All prices and descriptions are subject to change without notice.

Pictures of items are generic and might not match exactly. Refer to the written description of the item. Specifications given are from the manufacturers and suppliers and we reserve the right to modify our information provided herein.

Prices are rarely incorrect, but we retain the right to refuse any transaction pending the correction of pricing. Prices for items not in stock at time of order are subject to price change prior to delivery.

You, the buyer, are responsible for knowing and abiding to state and/or local laws/restrictions prohibiting the possession/ownership of any item purchased from Black Widow Arms, LLC.

We will not ship firearms directly to you. They will be sent to your local FFL (Federal Firearms License) Dealer, who will then perform any background checks and paperwork required in your state/locality. We do not ship firearms to non-FFL holders. This is federal law. It is your responsibility to contact the FFL Dealer to make sure of their policies, procedures, and any applicable fees they might charge.

Nearly all dealers will accept a transfer for you. They will perform all the required background checks and paperwork for your area, and charge a transfer fee of around $25.00 - $50.00. If we already have your dealer's license (FFL) on file, there is no need to resend it with each order.

Your dealer's signed FFL license can be emailed to blackwidow@ntelos.net.

It is important to make sure that your name or order number is with the dealer's license so that we know to apply it to your order.

ALL credit card Returns incur a 6% processing fee.

Out of State firearm or NFA purchases that are canceled prior to shipment will incur a $45.00 cancellation fee. Orders canceled after shipment will incur an additional 25% restocking fee.

PLEASE NOTE: If you live in a magazine restricted state, we will remove the hi-capacity magazine(s). There will be no substitutions or discounts offered for the removal of magazines. We cannot ship prohibited magazines to out of state addresses. If available, we can substitute a 10-round magazine at your request. 

How to Buy a Pistol, Rifle or Shotgun

Federal firearms laws prevent the sale of a weapon from a licensed dealer directly to an individual in another state. We must ship your firearm directly to an FFL Dealer near you. 

  1. Order your firearm online using our secure shopping cart. If you know the dealer you are going to use at time of order placement (not a requirement) enter their information in the 'Ship To' fields or their name in the 'Order Comments' field. Otherwise, find a dealer near you that will accept the transfer of the firearm for you. Most sporting goods stores and pawn shops will provide this service for a small fee. If you don't know which dealer to use in your area, put a comment in your order and we will help you locate one near you. Most dealers charge around $25-$35 for a transfer. You must confirm the transfer with your local dealer in advance.
  2. Have the dealer get us a copy of his signed license. We can accept a faxed or e-mailed copy of your dealers license.
  3. Make sure the dealer knows the firearm is coming from us.
  4. We will send you an email when the firearm ships, which will include a tracking number.

See our NFA FAQ's for information regarding NFA Purchases.
