FFL Transfer Policies and Fees
We are happy to receive transfers from other FFLs. Firearms must be transferable in the state of California,
and it is your responsibility to confirm your firearm is legally transferable. If we receive a non-transferable
firearm, you will still be charged the FFL fee and will be responsible for return shipping costs.
- You must notify us in advance that you intend to use our FFL to transfer a firearm. If we receive an FFL transfer without prior notification, we will refuse the incoming shipment.
- All transferred firearms must include an invoice or bill of sale. We will not transfer firearms without an accompanying invoice or bill of sale.
- Firearms do not have to be received from an FFL. We do require non-FFL shippers to include a photocopy of their ID or Driver License. If this is not included, the firearm will be refused.

Consignments
We want to help you sell your guns. Please contact us to arrange a time to evaluate your firearm(s)
for consignment. Consignment contracts are 120 days. We accept consignments from all 50 states and even from international clients.
- If you are a CA resident, the State of CA requires us to report and hold your firearm for 30 days before it can be transferred to a buyer. This period is excluded from the 120-day consignment contract.
- If you are a CA resident, you must provide valid ID to place your firearms on consignment and provide a thumbprint to the State.

- Firearms will be advertised online and in-store.
- Federal and State law requires consignors to perform a background check to retrieve firearms left on consignment. All DROS fees and waiting periods apply to returned consignment firearms, with no exceptions.
- Out-of-state consignors must provide an FFL to retrieve their firearm and will be responsible for shipping and handling.
- Please contact us to discuss additional terms of consignment.
Consignment Fees

Trade-Ins & Purchases
- We love trade-ins. We will accept your firearm in trade toward any new or pre-owned firearm, including consignment guns.
- We will evaluate your trade-in, inform you of what we intend to resell the gun for, and offer 75% of this retail price in credit toward your purchase.
- It is our promise that you will not see the gun advertised for more than what we told you. If we advertise it for more, we will pay you the difference in cash.
- We also buy firearms. Every gun is unique, and purchase offers will be made on a case-by-case basis.

purchased from us. Whether purchased in-state or out-of-state, we want you to be happy with what you bought.
