Firearm Purchase Terms & Conditions

It is the customer's responsibility to follow all federal, state, and local Laws. All firearms MUST be transferred to the BUYER (ACTUAL PURCHASER) at your selected or chosen Federal Firearms Licensee ("FFL"). A valid U.S. and/or state government issued identification document, or combination of government issued documents, which reflect the buyer’s current residential address must be presented at the selected FFL location prior the completion of any firearm-related paperwork and background check initiation. The actual purchaser must be 18 years of age or older to purchase long guns. The actual purchaser must be 21 years of age or older to purchase handguns, pistols and/or silencers. Certain states have different, and usually more stringent laws regarding such matters as a firearm buyer’s age, the type of firearm configuration that may be possessed in that state, and prior state licensing to acquire some or all firearms types. Daniel Defense complies with such requirements.

Depending on the selected FFL and firearm type, additional identification credentials may be required. The actual buyer must personally fill out BATFE Form 4473 as well as any applicable state and/or local forms. If a prospective buyer is unable to read, write and/or complete the required firearm paperwork, such a prospective buyer is invited to contact the FFL to discuss potential accommodations that may be available depending on the circumstances. Upon completion of all required forms, the FFL will conduct a required background check on the buyer (actual purchaser) in accordance with their policies and all federal, state, and local laws. The FFL may, depending on state law, be able to accept a valid alternative to a NICS background check through the use of state firearms or concealed carry permit approved by ATF for such purposes. In certain states, a fee is associated with the background check; the purchaser is responsible for this fee. For any additional questions pertaining to waiting periods, the background check process, and/or the firearm transfer process, please consult the firearm laws of the state where your desired pick-up FFL is located as well as your home state, county, and city laws and regulations. For your reference, please consult the following publications: ATF Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide and ATF State Laws and Published Ordinances - Firearms

Customers wanting to have firearms shipped to an FFL not listed on our website (DanielDefense.com) are required to contact Daniel Defense’s Customer Service. Daniel Defense will make shipping arrangements if the FFL, as an independent firearms dealer, meets the company’s criteria for compliance with federal and state law.

Firearm transfers to FFLs are potentially subject to an FFL transfer fee (charged by the independent firearms dealer), applicable taxes (if required), background check (if required), background check fee (if any), and waiting period (if any). A customer selecting an independent firearms dealer for shipment/transfer must certify that they are the actual buyer/transferee before purchase. This information will be provided to the participating firearm dealer. Independent firearm dealers may have additional firearm transfer policies; complying with these will be the responsibility of the customer and independent dealer.
