Order online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Saginaw County. Saginaw is the former automotive city at the head of Saginaw Bay, a manufacturing and healthcare town beside the Shiawassee flats. Saginaw County dealers run the federal check or take a licence to purchase, and a pistol sales record goes to the police.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Michigan law allows.
A trigger group is a part and ships to your door in every state; the rules below apply to the rifles and lowers in the catalogue. Michigan dealers may sell a handgun on the federal check alone or against a licence to purchase or a concealed pistol licence, and a pistol sales record goes to the police within ten days. Michigan's 2024 safe storage law applies wherever a minor may be present. Since February 2024 every firearm sale in Michigan, private or dealer, needs a background check. There is no waiting period; federal age limits apply, 21 for a handgun from a dealer and 18 for a long gun.
Dealers in these communities all work for Saginaw-area buyers:
Michigan requires a concealed pistol licence to carry concealed; open carry of a registered pistol is lawful without one. Schools, courtrooms, hospitals and posted property remain off limits. Licences are issued by the Saginaw County Clerk to residents 21 and over who complete a training course.
Michigan's firearm deer season runs November 15 to 30 statewide, with archery from October 1 and muzzleloader in December. Antlerless licences are sold by deer management unit. In the Limited Firearm Deer Zone across the southern Lower Peninsula only shotguns, muzzleloaders, handguns and straight-walled rifle cartridges are legal; centerfire rifles are legal further north.
Saginaw County is bay-shore marsh and Thumb farmland with the Shiawassee flats drawing waterfowl by the thousand; deer are hunted from November 15 with shotguns, straight-wall rifles and muzzleloaders in the limited zone.
The Shiawassee refuge and flats are the state's premier waterfowl ground, and the Rose Lake DNR range near Lansing is the nearest staffed rifle facility.
These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive out to test a trigger.

Yes. Order here, name a licensed FFL dealer in Bay City, Frankenmuth, Birch Run, Saginaw or anywhere in Saginaw County, and we ship the firearm to them. You fill out ATF Form 4473 at their counter and they run the background check.
Your dealer can run the federal check, or you can bring a licence to purchase or a concealed pistol licence. Either way a pistol sales record is filed with the police.
No. Concealed carry needs a concealed pistol licence from the Saginaw County Clerk. Open carry is lawful.
Only outside the Limited Firearm Deer Zone. In the southern Lower Peninsula it is shotguns, muzzleloaders, handguns and straight-walled cartridges.
Not on a shotgun. On the rifle that rides along for hogs and coyotes in a wet blind, a coated duty trigger that runs dry is exactly the right part.
Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
