FAQs
What is needed for the seller to ship the gun to afs?
The seller needs to see our Federal Firearm License. If they don’t already have a copy, I will email it to them. The seller can only ship to the address on the license.
Can I fill out the background paperwork before the gun arrives to save time?
No, according to Federal regulations, we must have the firearm on-site and the serial number logged in our “bound book” before any paperwork is prepared.
Are there any concerns with the USED make, model and caliber I am considering purchasing?
The short answer is yes, possibly. Over the many years of repairing firearms, we have found several makes, models and calibers to have certain issues with reliability and/or accuracy.
