CUSTOM GIFTS
We LOVE to support other businesses, especially those that fall into the SMALL category like us! We carry several items from the locals, handmade and homemade, as well as retail items, some that can be customized.
Buy anywhere... pick up here! The online shopping experience has enveloped the gun world. YES, you can buy guns online. The kicker is the shipping. They MUST ship to a local FFL dealer for transfer.
A few things to know:
- We transfer long guns, hand guns, frames/receivers, and other serialized parts (Ex: barrels, FCUs). We DO NOT accept firearms that fall under NFA regulations (SBRs, silencers, etc).
- We accept transfers from other FFL dealers as well as individuals. We require a copy of their FFL license/driver's license for our records and they require ours. We will automatically send ours to the email address you provide. They can include theirs with the shipment.
- We accept shipments via USPS, UPS, and FedEx.
- The purchaser of the firearm must also be the transferee. You CANNOT purchase or pick up for someone else. This violates federal law.
- Unless prior arrangements have been made, firearms will be held for up to 30 days after which they become shop property.
- Our transfer fee is $20.00 per serial number. You will be responsible for additional fees and return shipping charges if your background check results in a denial.
To help us better serve you, please fill out the form below if you have chosen CARTER FIREARMS LLC as your receiving dealer. Complete one form for EACH SHIPMENT. If your purchase includes more than 5 firearms, please contact us directly.
Have a gun you want to sell? We'll do it for you! Your items are logged, photographed, and tagged. You can choose to have them displayed in our shop, posted online, or both. We use a third-party auction platform for online sales. Once sold, we'll package and ship your gun to it's new home. A few details you should know:

5. Payment is made to you when the sale is complete. We automatically subtract all applicable fees.
6. Fees are based on the final sale price of your item:
- Our Consignment fee - 10% of sale price
- Listing fee - $5 for every 90 days on auction (we pay directly to auction site)
- Sale Price fee - 1st $325 of sale price x 6%, remaining sale price x 4% (we pay directly to auction site)

- $32.50 (Consignment fee) | - $100.00 (consignment fee) |
- $5.00 (listing fee for 90 days) | - $5.00 (listing fee for 90 days) |
- $19.50 (sale fee: 325 x 6%) | - $19.50 (sale fee: 325 x 6%) |
= $268.00 (your payment) | - $27.00 (sale fee: 675 x 4%) |
= $848.50 (your payment) |
7. You cannot privately sell any consignment item prior to submitting a Retraction of Consignment.
8. A Retraction of Consignment results in the following fees:
- Retraction fee (5% of listed price)
- Accumulated listing fee ($5 every 90 days on auction)
10. Your agreement to consign is a binding contract and remains in effect until the item is sold or retracted.
In most cases, you can legally ship your firearm back to the manufacturer for repair from your residence. Click HERE for more details from the ATF. BUT If you prefer to send it through an FFL dealer, we are happy to help!
