Effective September 2, 2026
Matt’s Sports & Ammo LLC is a federally licensed firearms dealer in Comstock Park, Michigan. This page sets out the age and eligibility rules for buying from us, online and in the shop.
If anything here is unclear, call us at (616) 784-6811 before you order. We would much rather answer a question than turn someone away at the counter or cancel an order after you have placed it.
Age requirements
You must be at least 21 years old to order any ammunition on this website, whatever it is chambered for, including rifle and shotgun ammunition.
This is our own rule and it is stricter than the law. Federal law sets 18 for rifle and shotgun ammunition and 21 for handgun ammunition, and Michigan adds no age rule of its own. We have chosen a single clear line for online orders rather than a judgment call at the counter about what a cartridge is going to be fired from.
The 18 requirement you agreed to on the way into this site covers browsing. Ordering is 21.
If you are collecting your order, we check photo ID at pickup, every time. If the ID does not meet the requirement or does not match the order, we cannot release it. This is not something we have discretion about.
If someone else is collecting an order for you, call us first. They have to meet the same age requirement and show their own ID.
The same age rule applies to a shipped order. By ordering you confirm you are 21 or older. We call you for payment before anything ships, so there is a conversation before your order leaves the shop.
Who cannot buy
Federal law prohibits certain people from receiving or possessing firearms or ammunition. The ammunition part is often missed, so it is worth saying plainly: these rules apply to what we sell, not only to guns.
You may not buy from us if you:
- have been convicted of a felony, or any crime punishable by more than one year in prison,
- have been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence,
- are subject to a qualifying restraining order,
- are a fugitive from justice,
- are an unlawful user of, or addicted to, any controlled substance,
- have been adjudicated as mentally defective, or committed to a mental institution,
- were discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions,
- are unlawfully in the United States, or are here on a nonimmigrant visa, or
- have renounced your United States citizenship.
It is also a federal crime to buy ammunition for someone you know cannot legally have it, and a crime for us to sell to someone we have reasonable cause to believe is prohibited. We take that seriously and we will refuse a sale we are not comfortable with.
If you are not sure whether something in your history affects you, talk to a lawyer rather than guessing. We cannot give you legal advice, and we would rather you asked than found out the hard way.
What we sell online
This website sells ammunition, reloading components and shooting accessories only. We do not sell firearms through this website.
Firearm sales and FFL transfers happen in person at the shop, with the background check and paperwork the law requires. Email in**@*******mo.com with “FFL Request” in the subject line, or call us, and we will walk you through it.
Your local law is your responsibility
Ammunition rules vary by state, county and city, and they change. Magazine limits, ammunition registration, permit requirements and outright bans on certain types all exist somewhere.
You are responsible for knowing and following the law where you live. By ordering you confirm it is legal for you to buy and possess what you are ordering. If you are not sure, check before you order rather than after.
If you are picking your order up at the shop, the rule is simple. If you can legally possess it in Michigan and you meet the age requirement, we can sell it to you.
If you are having your order shipped, you are also confirming it is legal for you to receive what you ordered at the address you give us. There are places we cannot ship ammunition to at all, and some items that never ship anywhere. If your address is one of them, the website will not offer you shipping. The list is on our Shipping & Returns page.
Reloading and handloading
We sell powder, primers, brass, bullets and reloading equipment. Handloading is done at your own risk. Always use current published load data from the powder or bullet manufacturer, never substitute components, and never exceed a published maximum charge. The full disclaimer is in our Terms of Sale.
If you are new to reloading, come in and talk to us. Genuinely. It is a good way to spend twenty minutes and it is safer than working it out from a forum post.
Safe storage
Store ammunition and propellants in a cool, dry place, away from heat and ignition sources, and out of the reach of children. Keep powder in its original container. Do not store powder and primers together in quantity.
Our records
Federal law does not require dealers to keep records of ordinary ammunition sales, and we do not keep a registry of who bought what ammunition. That requirement was removed from federal law in 1986.
What we do keep: the order and payment records any business keeps, described in our Privacy Policy, and the firearms transfer records federal law does require of us as a licensed dealer, which we make available to the ATF as required. Those two things are separate.
Refusing a sale
We reserve the right to refuse any sale, in the shop or online, where we cannot verify age or eligibility, where we believe a purchase is unlawful or is being made on behalf of someone who cannot legally buy, or where we simply have reason for concern. We do not have to explain the reason, and you will not be charged for an order we decline.
Questions: in**@*******mo.com or (616) 784-6811.
