Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most about buying, transfers, online orders, and our services.

Buying a Firearm

What do I need to buy a firearm?

Bring a valid, government-issued photo ID that shows your current address. You’ll complete ATF Form 4473 and a federal background check at the counter. If your ID doesn’t show your current address, bring an additional government-issued document that does, such as a vehicle registration or voter registration card. Texas does not require a permit or license to purchase a firearm.

How old do I have to be to buy a gun?

Federal law requires you to be at least 18 years old to buy a rifle or shotgun and at least 21 years old to buy a handgun from a licensed dealer.

How long does the background check take?

Most background checks come back within minutes. Occasionally the FBI’s NICS system delays a check for further review. If that happens, we’ll keep you updated and let you know as soon as your firearm can be released.

Can you order a firearm you don’t have in stock?

Yes. We can special order firearms, optics, and accessories through our distributors. Call or stop by with the make and model you’re looking for, and we’ll check availability and pricing for you.

Do you offer layaway?

Yes, layaway is available. Visit our Layaway page or call (903) 259-6600 for current terms.

Shopping Online

Can I buy a firearm online?

Yes. You can purchase firearms right here on countyarmory.com. Federal law requires every firearm to be transferred through a licensed dealer, so at checkout you’ll choose County Armory for local pickup or select another FFL near you. You’ll complete your paperwork and background check when you pick it up.

What does “In Store” mean on a product?

Products marked In Store are physically on our shelves in Greenville right now, and that inventory updates automatically from our store system. Other listings ship from our distributors, which can add a few days before your item is ready.

Why does a product say “Call for Price”?

Some firearms, especially new arrivals and used guns, are priced in the store. Call us at (903) 259-6600 for current pricing and availability.

Do you ship ammunition and accessories to my home?

Most ammunition, magazines, optics, and accessories can ship directly to you where allowed by state and local law. Some items can’t be shipped to certain states or cities, and those restrictions are listed on the product page.

How do I track my order?

Use our Track Order page with your order number and billing email, or log in to My Account to see your full order history.

Transfers, Suppressors & NFA

Do you do firearm transfers?

Yes. Have the seller ship your firearm to County Armory, and we’ll contact you when it arrives. See our Transfers page or call for current transfer fees.

Do you sell and transfer suppressors?

Yes. Suppressors are regulated under the National Firearms Act and require an approved ATF Form 4 and background check before they can be released to you. The federal tax on suppressors dropped to $0 in 2026, but ATF approval is still required. We’ll walk you through the process from start to finish.

Can I buy a firearm if I live out of state?

Federal law allows us to sell rifles and shotguns to residents of other states when the sale is legal in both states. Handguns must be transferred through a licensed dealer in your home state. Call us and we’ll help you sort out your options.

Gunsmithing & Custom Work

Do you repair firearms I didn’t buy from you?

Yes. Our gunsmiths service handguns, rifles, shotguns, AR-platform firearms, and precision rifles no matter where you bought them. Learn more on our Gun Repair page.

How long does gun repair take?

Turnaround depends on the work needed and parts availability. We’ll give you an estimate when you drop off your firearm and keep you updated along the way.

Do you build custom rifles?

Yes. Our custom bolt-action rifles are built through Last Breath Customs, from lightweight hunting rifles to dedicated predator rigs and long-range precision builds.

Where are you located, and what are your hours?

We’re at 2510 Hemphill St., Greenville, TX 75401. Our hours are Tuesday–Friday 10am–6pm and Saturday 10am–5pm. We’re closed Sunday and Monday.

Can I bring a firearm into the store?

If you’re bringing a firearm in for repair, a transfer, or engraving, please make sure it’s unloaded and cased, and let a team member know when you arrive.
