At this time we do not sell online. Please give me a call, shoot me a text or email and I would be happy to get you a price on whatever item(s) you want. Most items in stock at our wholesalers can be in stock within 1-2 business days.
Since we don't have the large overhead costs such as lease, insurance and other costs associated with having a storefront, we can offer great pricing on firearms and accessories. That being said, since profit margins are so low, if you want to pay with a credit/debit card then there will be a 3% fee added.
These items (suppressors, short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns) are restricted under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and require additional steps to aquire. These steps include paying a tax stamp, filling out an ATF Form 4 and submitting fingerprints and a photo. Once submitted, the ATF will either approve or deny your application. In the past, the ATF evaluation process has taken a year or more. At the time of this writing (Aug 2025) the time is approx 2-3 weeks. If approved, you can take possession of the item(s). Please contact us for more info on how this works.
