Since the Safe Act was passed, all ammo sales are supposed to be FTF. There may be some companies still shipping to NY but it's not legal. At some point, you are supposed to pass a background check before buying ammo.https://safeact.ny.gov/ammunition

While the SAFE Act originally forbade the online sale of ammunition without going through an FFL, this was amended shortly thereafter. Unfortunately for NY residents most companies never bothered to revise their NY online ammo sale requirements. This is why Cabela's/Bass Pro and many other companies will not ship ammo to NY. Thankfully there are several businesses that understand the updated regulations. Buds and Target Sports USA are two of the main sellers.Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the changed law. It's bothersome that so many still think that ammo cannot be legally purchased online in NY without going through an FFL. https://www.targetsportsusa.com/ny-safe-act-online-ammo-sales-p-58633.aspx

The official NY Safe Act page says individual ammo sales need to be FTF.

Here we are several years later and still folks believe that ammunition cannot be purchased online and legally delivered to your door in NY. Yes, it can. We have few enough gun rights in NY. Be thankful that at least we are still able to purchase ammunition online.
I just called the SAFE ACT info line. Online sales to individuals addresses are still not legal. You can get a tax ID # and register as an ammunition seller and have it delivered to your door however. Not fake news.
