What this site does
Buying a firearm or stocking ammo online means hopping between a handful of large retailers, checking free-shipping thresholds, sale banners, and whether your local FFL will accept a transfer. Best Gun Prices is built for that short shopping loop: open a category, jump to a major merchant’s matching department, and decide where the deal actually is.
We organize outbound “Shop deals” links by category — handguns, rifles, shotguns, ammunition, optics, and magazines/parts — and send you to real retailer category or department pages (Brownells, MidwayUSA, OpticsPlanet, Palmetto State Armory, Primary Arms, and GrabAGun where they carry the category). Firearms purchased online still ship to a licensed FFL dealer for transfer; ammunition and many accessories ship under each retailer’s own age, shipping, and state-restriction rules.
This site does not process gun sales, collect Form 4473 data, or hold inventory. Think of it as a bookmarks + context page that stays honest about how affiliate monetization works.
Handguns
Pistols and revolvers for carry, home defense, and the range. Compare catalog depth and sale pricing, then transfer through your local FFL.
Rifles
Modern sporting rifles, bolt guns, lever actions, and rimfire trainers. Watch for package deals that include optics or magazines.
Shotguns
Pump, semi-auto, and field guns for defense, clays, and hunting. Gauge, barrel length, and choke options matter more than logo stickers.
Ammo
Handgun, rifle, shotgun, and rimfire ammunition. Check cost-per-round, brass vs. steel, and hazmat/shipping rules before you fill a cart.
Optics
Riflescopes, red dots, prism sights, binoculars, and mounts. Match reticle, tube size, and mount height to the rifle — not just the sale price.
Magazines & Parts
Spare magazines, springs, and common parts. Capacity limits vary by state — verify legality for your address before checkout.
How we pick links
Links go to major U.S. online retailers that commonly appear in AvantLink and similar firearm-adjacent affiliate catalogs: Brownells, MidwayUSA, OpticsPlanet, Palmetto State Armory, Primary Arms, and GrabAGun. We prefer a retailer’s real category or department URL when it is publicly known; otherwise we fall back to a relevant department hub or homepage.
- We do not claim automated live price scraping or “always cheapest” rankings.
- We do not sell firearms, ammo, or optics on this domain.
- We disclose affiliate relationships near the top of every page that includes outbound shop links.
- Tracked AvantLink URLs can replace direct
hrefvalues later via the small map below — no redesign required.
After AvantLink (or another network) approves the site and merchants, paste tracked URLs into
AFFILIATE_URLS keyed by merchant:category.
The script swaps href while keeping data-direct-url as a fallback.
Buying online — quick compliance notes
Federal law requires firearms to transfer through a licensed FFL dealer (with limited exceptions that do not apply to typical online retail checkout). Expect a background check at pickup, a transfer fee, and state or local restrictions that may block certain models, magazine capacities, or ammunition types. Always confirm eligibility for your jurisdiction before ordering. You must be 18 or older to use this site; retailers may require 21+ for handgun-related purchases.
