Inspection and Return Policy:
We do our best to accurately describe each item on our site and disclose everything we know about the piece at the time of the sale. We stand behind our merchandise and will refund on items which are inadvertently misrepresented. ALL GUNS ARE SOLD AS COLLECTABLES, and are NOT WARRANTED FOR SHOOTING. While many guns on our site are probably perfectly suitable for shooting with appropriate ammunition, they have NOT been checked out by a gunsmith and we can NOT warrant them as shooters. We advise that any older gun should be checked out by a professional gunsmith before attempting to shoot it. Note of Mechanical Condition in a description does NOT mean the gun is o.k. to shoot. If you shoot a gun purchased from us or exchange any parts from the gun, the return policy is voided.
Items sold from our "Fixer Upper" section are sold "AS IS".
There are no returns on an "AS IS" item.

We allow you a 3-day inspection upon receipt of the item (except "AS IS" items from the Fixer Upper section). Should you decide to return the item the following guidelines apply.
