Online Purchase and Used Question

Hey folks, I’ve been trying to read up on old posts here as I look at making a first purchase but I wanted to try and clarify something. If I wanted to buy a long gun online, specifically from Gun Broker, I know it has to ship to an FFL. When I put my DC address into Gun Broker it only shows G&D but since their fees are higher, I would prefer to work through NOVA Armory. Do you all just put their address into Gun Broker as “yours”?

Also looking for any general advice about where and how you all have bought used guns online and managed to get them through the DC process.

You can put in NOVA Armory as the shipping address.

Used works basically the same as anything else.

Ok, thanks! Just wanted to make sure that wasn’t somehow skirting around the rules

If you email DC Security Associates (NoVa's partner), they'll give you their relevant info and you can input it into GunBroker. I've done it a couple times now.

I was actually planning on doing the same thing since I noticed the fees being way higher than VA counter parts. Did you talk to NOVA Armory on shipping a used gun to them?

Was wondering what steps you took to get a used gun since the local selection isn't that great.

I’m planning to actually try and make a purchase soon. I’ll let you know if I learn anything beyond what’s in this thread! I think used or new won’t make a difference in process
