These policies govern purchases, transfers and use of the Sticks & Stones site. By placing an order or requesting a transfer or quote, you agree to the terms below.
Terms of Sale
All sales are subject to applicable federal, state and local law and to a successful background check where required. Prices and availability shown reflect live or recently-checked stock and may change without notice; the price we confirm in your quote is the binding figure. We may decline or cancel any order or transfer — for example, if we cannot lawfully complete it, if a listing contained an error, or if eligibility cannot be verified. No firearm or NFA item is transferred until all legal requirements are met.
Shipping & FFL Transfer
- Firearms cannot ship to a residence. They ship to a licensed FFL — ours or one you choose — and you complete the transfer in person after a background check. See FFL Transfers.
- NFA items (suppressors, SBRs) transfer through a licensed SOT/FFL on an ATF Form 4 — with a $0 federal tax stamp as of 2026 — after approval, never directly to your home. See NFA & Suppressors.
- Accessories and non-regulated gear may ship directly to you, to the address you provide, subject to carrier and legal restrictions.
- Title and risk of loss for shippable goods pass on delivery to the carrier. We are not responsible for carrier delays.
Returns
For legal reasons, firearms and NFA items generally cannot be returned once transferred to you. Defects on new firearms are handled through the manufacturer's warranty. Unused, undamaged, non-regulated accessories in original packaging may be returned within a defined window for a refund or exchange; some items (e.g. opened electronics, special orders) may be non-returnable or subject to a restocking fee. [Owner to confirm return window, restocking fee and exclusions.]
Privacy
We collect only the information needed to serve you — for example, your email and any details you provide for a quote, transfer or back-in-stock alert. We use it to respond to you, process transactions, and (with your consent) send updates you've asked for. We do not sell your personal information. Marketing emails include an unsubscribe option, and back-in-stock alerts can be stopped at any time via the unsubscribe link in the email. Information required by law for firearm transactions (e.g. Form 4473 records) is retained and handled as the law requires. [Owner to confirm data-handling specifics and any analytics in use.]
Legal & Compliance Disclaimers
- All transactions comply with the Gun Control Act, the National Firearms Act and applicable state and local law. You must be legally eligible to purchase and possess what you order.
- Minimum age requirements apply (generally 21 for handguns and suppressors, 18 for long guns) and may be higher under state law.
- It is the buyer's responsibility to know and follow the firearm laws of their state and locality. We transfer only where the item is lawful for you to own.
- Nothing on this site is an offer to sell where prohibited, and listings are not legal advice.
- Manufacturer specifications, images and pricing are provided for reference and may change.
