Firearm Preparation

Firearm must be unloaded before arrival — do not clear your firearm in the store

Serial numbers must be fully visible — remove any Velcro, mounts, or accessories obscuring them. A $50 gunsmithing fee applies if we must remove them

Remove any accessories you do not want included in the sale before arriving. Using our tools to remove them costs $50

Bring only the firearm, its container, and included magazine(s) — no ammunition

Buyer inspection should be completed before your scheduled appointment

5
Firearm Safety Device (FSD)

A firearm safety device is required by California law

Options: purchase one from us ($7) — or bring one purchased from another store with a receipt dated within 30 days — or sign a safety affidavit

We do not accept FSDs purchased from Amazon Not accepted

We do not accept the FSD that came with the used gun

Rifle safe affidavit: know your safe’s make and model in advance

Handgun safe affidavit: look up your safe on the DOJ approved list, print it, and bring it. We will not search for you — if unprepared, you will purchase the $7 FSD

6
Assault Weapons & Compliance

It is your responsibility to verify your firearm is legal in California. If we DROS an assault weapon, DOJ may confiscate it — you may not get it back and may incur legal costs.

Research whether your firearm is on California’s Category 1 Assault Weapon list

Semi-auto rifles must be fixed magazine or featureless

AR-type rifles: you may transfer just the lower receiver to avoid compliance issues

AR pistols (frame or fully built): bring the original DROS — it will be marked as single shot without it

We transfer pistol frames and rifle receivers for PPT

Do not bring any illegal firearms or SBRs/SBSs into the store
