SHIPPING, HANDLING, & INSURANCE

Why do I have to provide ID to buy ammo in your showroom?

For in person purchases in our showroom, anyone over 18 can buy long gun ammo or over 21 can buy handgun ammo after providing some official ID such as drivers license, state ID card, passport, or military ID to establish date of birth. The ID number and date of birth are entered on your purchase invoice. No ID is required for shipped orders, although a signature of someone over 21 is required at delivery.

What do I need to buy ammo by mail?

We will ship ammo to anyone over 21, directly to your home address if you like. When placing the order online at patriotsportsusa.com you will be asked to make a statement of your date of birth, and that you are complying with all applicable laws. Also, an adult over the age of 21 needs to be present at the delivery address to sign for the ammo when delivered. Persons over 18 but under 21 may order ammo for a long gun, but must have it shipped to a location where someone over 21 can sign for it. They cannot order handgun ammo. Some states have additional restrictions.

Is my personal information I give Patriot Sports kept private?

Yes, all personal information given to Patriot Sports is kept private; it is never loaned or sold to a third party. View our privacy policy here.

What does corrosive ammo mean?

A lot of military ammo made last century, approximately up until the 1970’s used a salt type compound in the primer which helped the primer last longer. However when the round is fired some of the residue from the primer gets on the gun, and salt compounds draw moisture and cause rust faster than normal, thus these rounds are called corrosive ammo.

How do I clean my gun if I shoot corrosive ammo?

You need to clean your gun soon after each time you use corrosive ammo, preferably the same day especially if you live in a moist climate. The key to preserving your gun from corrosion is to clean it well soon after use. The methods vary, some people just use copious amounts of gun cleaning solvent, some use soapy water, some use Windex (since ammonia helps neutralize the salts). All should work, the key being not to wait too long before you clean it.

What is the difference between Berdan and Boxer primers?

Berdan primers have two flash holes between the inside of the case and the primer, one at each side. Boxer primers have one single flash hole in the center. The difference is important for reloaders since cases using Boxer primers can usually be reloaded, cases using Berdan primers are not easily reloadable.

Can you ship ammo to Alaska or Hawaii?

There are some limited methods by which we can ship ammo to AK or HI. For larger amounts we can ship the ammo to a freight forwarding company of your choice in the lower 48, and they will ship the ammo by truck or boat to your state.

Are there any restrictions on magazines?

Not at the Federal level. There was a law enacted by congress in 1994 to ban the future manufacture of magazines that hold more than 10 rounds for civilians. This law expired in September 2004 and companies can now manufacture large capacity magazines again. Some states have gone further and implemented their own bans. For this reason we do not ship magazines that hold over 10 rounds to some states.

How can I get on your email newsletter list?

You can sign up by entering your email address in the sign up box on our homepage at www.jgsales.com. By doing this you will be the first to know when we get new items, and you will receive special sale notices for price reductions, etc.

Do you have special dealer pricing?

No, Patriot Sports has only one level of pricing, the price advertised is the price for anyone, dealer or individual. Occasionally there are further unadvertised discounts for large volume ammo buyers based on the quantity of the order.

Can you tell me which dealer in my area you can ship a gun to for me?

Sorry, we do not know which dealers in your area will do a transfer for you. It is up to you to find one that has terms acceptable to you. For privacy reasons we do not give out information about which dealers in your area we ship to, since not every dealer does transfers and they may not want us to divulge their information

Do you have a lay-a-way plan?

No, we do not have any type of payment plan or layaway installment plan. All purchases must be paid in full at the time of transaction.

Why do you advertise things you do not have in stock?

To give you the opportunity to buy them if you need them Some items are not in high demand and it is not feasible to keep them on hand, for example some calibers of ammo are not very common But occasionally people still request them, so rather than just not carry them at all, we advertise that we can get them, this helps people get items that are hard to find Also, since many print ads must be prepared several weeks or months in advance of publication, occasionally we sell out of something before the ad can be updated. WE ALSO TAKE PRE-ORDERS ON AMMUNITION THAT IS IN TRANSIT TO OUR WAREHOUSE.

Is old ammo safe to shoot?

It depends. We sell surplus ammo sometimes that was made in the 1930s or 40s and it still performs adequately. All ammo, new or old, should only be fired in firearms that you know are safe. With old ammo there are sometimes duds or misfires, but this does not necessarily mean the ammo is unsafe.

Are there any shipping discounts for large orders?

Yes, orders over 150lbs have a special discounted rate from UPS that will save you quite a bit off the normal rates. There is another rate discount when your order reaches 500lbs.
