The process

What to expect, step by step.

The website helps you start the conversation. A1 confirms the item and guides the transfer process from there.

Find Items & Add To Your Cart
Browse our current inventory and find items that fit what you are looking for, and add them to your cart.
Submit Request
Review your cart, provide the requested details, and send your purchase request to A1.
Confirm Availability & Payment
A1 confirms availability and explains payment options for the item, including cash^†, money order, or direct wire for consignment purchases.

^† No sales tax is collected on cash consignment purchases.

Receive Your Firearm

Complete the applicable transfer requirements with A1 or your selected receiving FFL, then receive your firearm. Firearms are never shipped to a home address.

Choose local pickup at A1 or coordinate with your preferred receiving FFL.

Option one

Local pickup

If you can visit A1, staff will confirm the item and walk you through the in-store transfer steps.

Option two

Transfer to your preferred FFL

If local pickup is not the right fit, provide your preferred receiving FFL during the request process. A1 will coordinate the transfer with that dealer.
