| Unlicensed Buyers | |
| If you do not have an FFL, you can still buy a gun through Allan's Armory by finding an 01FFL dealer in your area and doing what is called a "transfer." They send me their FFL, you send me the payment, I ship the gun to them, and you do whatever is required by law in your area to have the gun transferred to you. Dealers charge a transfer fee of $10 to $75, depending on where you live and who they are. It pays to shop around and phone different gun dealers, pawn shops, gun shops, gunsmiths, etc., and ask then what their fee is. | |
| Shipping | |
1. Shipping charges for a long gun is $17 UPS regular ground * for the first gun and $10 each for additional gun on the same order to a business address (01 FFL dealer). There is an additional charge of $3 for all non-business home deliveries to 03 FFLs. Long guns will be shipped UPS only. For an additional $10, your long gun will be shipped in a hard case. For long guns costing $75 or more, it must be shipped in a hard case. 2. Shipping charges for handguns via UPS is $25 for the first gun and $7.50 each for additional gun on the same order UPS 2nd Day Air. Due to UPS restrictions on shipping handguns 2nd Day Air, this service is only available on our Tuesday shipping day. * All long guns costing over $75 must be shipped in a hard case at a cost of $10 per case in addition to the $17 shipping charge. For long guns costing under $75, this is optional. Due to the rough treatment during shipping, I find it necessary to ship rifles of a this or higher value with this extra protection. It protects your purchase and if there is damage, UPS will pay without claiming poor packing. You do get a $15 case for only $10 (I sell them at a slight loss), so this is NOT a fee or extra income for me. This is NOT a cheap case that can barely hold a carbine. These hard cases are made extra tall and wide enough to hold scoped rifles or shotguns up to 52" in length (unless you buy a short rifle/shotgun, then the case may be slightly shorter). It is foam lined, has a strong ribbed hull design, a large carry handle, is pad lockable, has strong latches with steel pins, and four secure recessed latches. These cases will come in handy for any expensive modern hunting rifle or mil surp you want to protect. |

| Guarantee | |
| If there is any "unadvertised" mechanical or cosmetic problem with an item I send you, please email me within a THREE DAY NON SHOOTING examination period and the problem will be taken care of. I will pay shipping costs if the item needs to be returned due to the legitimate problems mentioned above. After the THREE DAY NON SHOOTING examination period, the gun is yours and can only be returned at our discretion and under extraordinary circumstances. The firearm may only be taken apart by a certified gunsmith. I will not accept a return if it's been tampered with by someone unqualified to do so.
Unfortunately, there have been a very small minority of buyers who abused this policy. In cases like these, I will not pay for any shipping costs and these returns will be subject to a 15% restocking fee. This charge will be implemented at my discretion. I will not accept a return if a firearm has been tampered with by someone unqualified to do so. Sorry about this, but when an item is returned due to a customer's mistake, I still have to cover the costs of paper work, packing, and web administration fees. |

| What are you paying for? | |
| You can probably buy a similar model of rifle a couple bucks cheaper "off the stack" than you can from us.
It won't be much cheaper unless you roll the dice on a fix'em -- hoping that your $30 will drag down an overlooked jewel.
Your odds aren't very good, however. Usually a $30.00 rifle is worth about $29.95.
Besides just a rifle or pistol, we guarantee that what you are buying from us is an assurance of quality and value. An assurance that the piece you paid for has received a preliminary cleaning visual inspection -- an assurance that a Very Good Condition rifle is, indeed in very good OR BETTER condition. We don't charge a "hand pick" fee because all of our items are hand picked and individually described in detail. We roll the dice for you. We dig out enough of the cosmo and the other detritus to look over the bore, furniture and mechanics. Not to worry, though -- we'll leave you a little cleaning to do so you can familiarize yourself with your new purchase. You can rest assured that the gun you buy from us is in the same or better condition than stated. MY GUARANTEE IS: If I sell you anything that is not as good or better than described (mechanics and cosmetics), I will refund your purchase price and pay shipping both ways. We do not headspace or take metallurgical tests of each specimen. If we did, each piece would be priced out of market to you. Unless a rifle is advertised as a "wallhanger," it being sold as shootable and should at least pass a field gauge headspace test. We expect the collector to know that he should have any surplus firearm checked by a competent gunsmith before takin' it to the range and blazing away. We do, however, check mechanical function as far as possible. Unlike the big distributors and most dealers, we do not sell guns based on a wide condition range (like Good to Very Good), but grade each firearm individually, noting the wood, metal, bore condition, matching numbers, pitting, and even the presence or absence of items such as cleaning rods for item we are selling. When it comes to buying a shooter/collector firearm, bore condition is of upmost importance. I take care in describing the bore in detail. First, I describe the condition of the lands (raised part of rifling) which is an indicator of bore wear. Then I describe the condition of the grooves as to whether they are shiny, pitted, dark, full of debris, etc. A rifle having sharp lands (not very worn) is more important than how shiny a bore is. If the grooves are described as "frosted," this means they still shine, but are not mirror bright. This is due to the metals surface having microscopic pitting vs. being totally smooth, much like a matte stainless steel gun vs. a highly polished one. While we take great care to individually describe each piece, our general criteria and rating system is:
