MontanaAR15's Requirements for Buying Ammunition Online:
- We ship only to United States citizens and resident aliens that meet all other legal requirements.
- By ordering ammunition, you are confirming that you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, and that it is legal for you to receive and possess any products ordered at your shipping address.
- Due to the complexity of state and local laws, the customer must check to see if a product is legal to import into their state and locality.
- You have read and agreed to MontanaAR15's Terms & Conditions upon check out.
- Ammunition and Firearms can not be shipped in the same package. If you order both items on the same order, they will be shipped in different packages. There may be additional shipping charges for the additional package.
Federal Age Requirements for Purchasing Ammunition:
- Rifle ammunition: You must be at least 18 years to order ammunition for use in a rifle.

- Federal law also prohibits the purchase of ammunition by minors, drug addicts, convicted felons, illegal aliens, the mentally ill and those convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.
- Additionally, there may be state or local laws that prohibit you from receiving ammunition.
Ammunition Restrictions:
Please read the list of the restricted areas. Please check your State, County, and Local laws for restrictions. We will NOT sell or ship restricted items to anyone in a restricted zone. It is the purchaser's responsibility to know and comply with all Federal, State and/or Local Laws.

ALL AMMO SALES Can NO LONGER go directly to you...The embarassing 9th circus appeals court gave the CA gov. a stay on Judge St. Benitez recent 2024 ruling that had struck down the requirement of a 3rd party intermediary and background check for simple ammo acquisition...so THE BELOW RULES ARE BACK IN EFFECT for Californians : - FFL (gun shop, pawn shop or other business that deals in firearms and has the Federal Firearms License). - CA Ammo Vendor's License (business that sells/deals in ammo but not firearms like a sporting goods shop that does not sell firearms but does sell ammo). - 03 FFL (C&R) with the required CA C.O.E. (certificate of eligibility). Yes, we DO ship to 03's with the COE. Per your state's STILL worsening laws. But a huge thanks to federal Judge Roger Benitez, fondly known as "St. Benitez" these days. |

Instructions for CALIFORNIA Ammunition Sales:
- THESE RESTRICTIONS ARE BACK IN EFFECT. The 9th circus has put a stay on judge Benitez's ruling so these restrictions/requirements are once again required:
- Please CONTACT your chosen FFL/business that you want to use for your ammo "transfer" to have them send us their current license and to ensure they do still receive shipments and to find out their process/pricing.
- NOTE: More and more CA dealers are no longer accepting ammo transfers and each dealer that is doing ammo transfers will have different procedures and costs for this process.
- ALL AMMO SALES need to ship to either an FFL, CA Ammo Vendor's license or an 03 FFL with the required C.O.E. (certificate of eligibility).
- These MUST be current, valid, & completely legible.
- Order will be retained until sufficient documents are submitted to and received by MontanaAR15 (email is best at: sales@montanaar15.com).
- If you have supplied this information to us for past orders, please note in the "comments" section of your order, "FFL or CA Ammo Vendor's License or 03FFL+COE on File."
- We've received many CA FFL's and licenses to date but do not have a comprehensive list of the ones we have on file.
- Finally, do know that there is still the required BACKGROUND CHECK when purchasing or receiving ammo at any shop in CA now (as of 7.1.19).
- Basically, it is more difficult now to get ammo at all in CA, but we plan to ship as much as we can to you in CA. So please bear with us, this process isn't quick but we'll continue to ship ammo into CA for as long as we can.
