In short, we may not have room for your private-party transfer.
Single-Handgun transfers usually aren't an issue, but long guns are another story.
Please call ahead to see if we will be able to accommodate
your person-to-person (private party) transfer.
THANK YOU
(Updated January 2024)
We keep a diverse selection of ammo on the shelf, and are
happy to special order what you are looking for.
If you really want to stock-up, we offer bulk-discounts
for large ammo orders (just ask).
*PLEASE DO NOT SHIP YOUR ONLINE AMMO ORDER TO US*
We will charge a penalty, storage & handling fees, plus the DROS Fee in order to discourage sending these orders in.
Please reach out if you have any questions.
Thank you.

The CA DOJ maintains an exclusive list of "not unsafe" handguns, which are approved for sale to the people of California. These select models are set to expire annually, on January first if the renewal fees are not paid by the manufacturer.
Most manufacturers have the exact part number listed on the roster, making it easy to identify which models are legal to purchase. If you have a question about the legality of a firearm or can't locate it on the roster, please reach out to us and we will help you.
INBOUND TRANSFERS ARE $120,
INCLUDING THE DROS.
PPT'S ARE $60 FOR ONE GUN,
INCLUDING THE DROS.
*We will not initiate a transfer if the
buyer and seller do not have
ALL of the required documents.
If the following applies to you, you can skip the store and transfer a firearm online!
The transfer of a firearm up or down the family tree can be done online, via the CFARS website. The recipient of the firearm must be of legal age, and in possession of a valid CA ID/DL, and Firearm Safety Certificate or exemption. This process may take a number of weeks for the CA DOJ to complete.
ONLINE STEPS:
Let's face it: We all need a little "gun-therapy" every now and then,
and there's nothing like a face-to-face conversation when you have questions about something new! We're here to help, so come check out our current inventory and let us know if there's anything you're searching for!
See you soon!
