Q. I live in Connecticut; may I purchase magazines from Ruger?
A. Due to changes in the law that became effective October 1, 2013, Ruger is now required to verify the credentials of Connecticut residents before selling magazines to them. Because our Sportswear and Accessories Department is not staffed or equipped to verify such credentials, we are no longer able to sell magazines to Connecticut residents.
Q. I live in Connecticut and ordered magazines; will I receive them? A. Unfortunately, no. Due to changes in the Connecticut law, Ruger is now required to verify the credentials of Connecticut residents before selling magazines. Because our Sportswear and Accessories Department is not staffed or equipped to verify such credentials, we are no longer able to sell magazines to Connecticut residents. All Connecticut magazine orders have been canceled.
Q. Are there any firearm parts or accessories I am prohibited from purchasing in Connecticut? A. Yes; Connecticut law now defines any part designed or intended to convert a firearm into an "assault weapon" as an "assault weapon." This means that we cannot sell folding or telescoping stocks, pistol grips, thumbhole stocks, forward pistol grips or flash suppressors to Connecticut customers. We are prohibited from selling magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds. As noted above, we have ceased the sale of all magazines to Connecticut residents because we are unable to verify credentials required by Connecticut law.

Firearms Purchases
Q. Can I buy a firearm directly from Ruger?
A. No. Federal law prohibits the interstate sale of firearms to persons or entities not possessing a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL) and various other state and local permits. Sturm, Ruger does not sell firearms to individuals or even to federally licensed individuals or retail dealers. Rather, we only sell directly to a small network of independent federally licensed wholesale firearm distributors, who in turn sell firearms to federally licensed independent retail dealers, who in turn sell their firearms to legally authorized retail purchasers in full compliance with all federal, state and local laws and regulations.
To experience the genuine pleasure of examining Ruger firearms, please visit your local independent retail firearms dealer. Any such reference to an independent licensed dealer does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of any such independent entity by Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. They are not within our control, and we are not responsible in any manner for any of their policies or practices. If you have any questions concerning a local firearms dealer, you should contact them directly, or contact your local law enforcement or regional Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms office listed in your local telephone directory.
Additional Information for Export Customers
Q. Will you ship to addresses located outside of the United States?
A. Yes. If you are not in the United States you should select your country from the pull-down menu under the "Country" selection when you input the billing address information.
Q. Why does the online store asked if I am a US Citizen?
A. This question is required to comply with US export laws, which are complex and govern the export of firearms, firearms parts, and firearm-related products overseas. If your order contains any firearms parts, we cannot accept it via the On Line Store.
Q. Will I have to pay additional shipping for an export order?
A. Yes. We will verify your order to ensure the items are not restricted for export. Your order will be subject to additional shipping and handling costs. You can call 336-949-5200 (United States Phone Number) if you have any questions.
