Services & pricing

Every fee we charge, and every fee the state charges through us, on one page. If a number here surprises you at the counter, we have failed at writing this page.

Two kinds of fee

State fees — DROS, the ammunition eligibility check — are set by California and passed through at cost. Shop fees are ours. Both are collected at the counter, not on the website, and neither is refundable once the paperwork is submitted.

Transfers, both directions

The two most common reasons people call us

You bought it somewhere else

Order from any online seller and give them our FFL as the destination. When their tracking shows the package delivered to us, come in with your ID and FSC and we run the background check and DROS — same process as if you had bought it here. We will call you when it lands.

$70 per firearm + DROSTen-day wait still applies

You live outside California

Buy from us and we ship the firearm to a licensed dealer near you, who completes the transfer under your state’s rules. Pick them at checkout — we verify the licence against the ATF listing before anything leaves the building, and tracking goes to you and to them.

We buy guns

One firearm or a whole collection

Tell us what you have

Send us the make, model, calibre and condition with a few photos, and we come back to you with an offer. Inherited collections, something you no longer shoot, a safe you need cleared — all of it is worth asking about. There is no obligation to accept what we offer.

Answer online, in about five minutesNo obligation

How the handover works

Nothing changes hands online. Once you accept an offer you bring the firearm to the counter in Corona with your ID, and we record the acquisition the same way we record every other one. You must be the lawful owner and eligible to transfer it.
