I enter the grabagun sweepstakes daily. You can enter to WIN a gun 4 times per day.
Bought my 15-22 from them. Piece of cake and they shipped the mag to PA for me.
Thank you for getting back to us. Please note, new policies have been enacted at Grab A Gun in response to ever-changing state and local laws on firearm legality and high capacity regulations. As a Texas-licensed gun dealer, we are unable to verify legality for firearms and ammunition for every state, county and city across the country. In addition, overzealous regulatory litigation in these restricted areas has led Grab A Gun to institute a policy that if a state (or any county/city within a state) has ammunition, "assault weapon," or high capacity magazine restrictions, we will not ship these items to that state under any circumstances (including to FFL dealers and law enforcement officers).
In short, the options you presented are not possible currently. The only options available at this time are the two that were outlined in the previous email, to remove them from the order, or cancel the order and issue a full refund. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
Just an update to this thread. They won't do this anymore:
I've used them before. Easy transaction, fast shipping. I'd buy from them again.
GRAB A GUN WILL SHIP HI CAPACITY MAGS TO MD. I have done this numerous times and then had my FFL mail them to an out of state address for me
Easy transaction, super cheap. Shipping took a little longer than expected. They have a list of FFL's already on the site to chose from in your area.
They shipped my high cap mags to the FFL and he blocked them off to 10 for me.
Your state has restrictions on firearms with high capacity magazines. Please reply back and confirm how you would like to proceed with this order:
1) We will remove the magazines from the order before shipping.
2) We will cancel your order and refund in full.
Please note that we do not offer swaps or replacements of magazines - extra magazines desired would need to be ordered separately. Please let us know how you would like to proceed, and let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
Additionally, it is your responsibility to ensure legality in your area and confirm your FFL will make the transfer. Any return shipping costs incurred due to local restrictions/FFL policy and any applicable restocking fees are the responsibility of the buyer.
If we have not received a response to this email within 14 days of your order being placed, you order will be cancelled and refunded minus an 15% restocking fee.

Thank you for getting back to us. Unfortunately, these are not viable options currently. We will not ship items that are not state-compliant to another state to circumvent laws. The only options we have at this point are the two that were outlined in the previous email. We can remove the magazines from the order, or we can cancel the order and issue a full refund. I did notice that the order was for the new CZ 75 Tactical Sport, so if you wish to still receive the firearm without the magazines, what I can do is remove the orange base plates from the magazines and leave those in the order. Please let us know how you would like to proceed.
Your order has been cancelled, as requested. Please allow up to 5-7 business days for your bank to process credit back to your account. Just let us know if there is anything else we can assist with.
Trust me.. they wont anymore. Spent 2 days trying to argue the legalities of it, as well as different options.
Tried:
1) ship to my FFL and my FFL is responsible for the transfer.
2) ship just gun to my FFL, mags out of state. No dice.
3) ship gun to a VA FFL and have them transfer to a MD FFL, no dice.
4) ship just gun to MD, have a separate entity PURCHASE mags and ship to VA, no dice.
I can send you all the emails if you don't believe me. Just trying to warn people here.
Hell, Ill just post the entire string:
Hi guys,
My local FFL will take them (which is legal). They wont transfer them to me.
If that is not possible, I can pay to have them shipped elsewhere.
Thank you
Thanks for getting back to me to quickly.
Can we ship to a FFL in VA and then I can have them transfer the entire order?
Or can you sell the magazines to a different entity on a separate order to a VA resident?
Hoping maybe that can be a solution, thank you.
Hi Greg,
Appreciate the responses and you can see why I'm trying so hard on this (those TSO mags are expensive and hard to come by).
Unfortunately the proposed solutions won't work. Losing those magazines is a huge cost expense. I'm going to have to cancel the order.
I understand the extra caution you guys may have with all the laws and regulations. In the end it's up to my local FFL to legally transfer regulated firearms to me.
Sorry this did not work out and hope you guys can change your policy back to the way it was in the past. Part of the reason why I ordered from you guys was our local forum members have purchased from you guys in the past and never had issues with magazines.
Thank you again for your time and consideration on this purchase.
I looked and just don't see where there's any benefit to use them...
I priced their cost on a Sig P320, a Ruger LCP II, and a HK VP9LE, which are my last 3 purchases...The Sig and Ruger cost more there, than MDS IP JLowes charged, and the HK is close, but still a few dollars more than at JLowes...
Then for your internet handgun, add shipping and the $50-$100 transfer fee...
Only thing I found that was at least the same price, was my 870 Express 6 round shottie...
I'm spoiled...I guess.
You are far from spoiled if you are paying $50 - $100 for a transfer.
Just as a FYI to the MDS community I will match ANY pricing from GrabaGun.
*price match will be a total out the door price.

I buy locally from an IP, whose prices consistently beat ANY online prices...
So, "I am spoiled"...
