INDUSTRY SCAM

We encourage customers to educate themselves and make informed decisions.
This includes choosing a reputable dealer than not only provides customer service before and after the sale, but also competitive prices.

An industry SCAM (for alack of a better term) has come to our attention.

When you purchase a firearm from a dealer in Pennsylvania, there are naturally some costs or fees involved.

The most important for consumers to be aware of is the actual cost of the Pennsylvania Insta-Check System (PICS) background check fee.
This PICS background check is conducted by the PA State Police and it amounts to on average $5.00 per firearm.
The actually fee is composed of two components: $2.00 for the actual check + $3.00 per taxable firearm.....hence $5.00 on average.

In the case of 2 firearms being purchase at the same time, the actual fee would total at $8.00, not $10.00.

The SCAM that we are referring to relates to a surprise fee at the end of a sale, labeled as a erronous "transfer fee".
If you are purchasing a firearm from a dealer, you should NOT be paying a transfer fee.

Some dealers for the sake of simplicity adjust the firearm prices accordingly and include the PICS fee in their normal firearm prices....which is A OK.

Our best recommendation when price shopping or making a purchase is to ask for an OUT THE DOOR price.
This will allow you make the most accurate price comparison and protect yourself from hidden fees.

We are always happy to provide an OUT THE DOOR price.....even in writing.

We also offer discounts for CASH/DEBIT CARD and Law Enforcement Officers.
