What We Do

Services

Cerakote and finishing

Custom finishes and refinishing that hold up to real use. Pick a color, pick a pattern, and we take it from there.

Consultation

New to this or not sure what fits? Come sit at the counter and talk it through before you spend a dime. Zero pressure.

Consignment sales

Not in a rush to sell? We list it, show it to buyers, and take care of the paperwork when it sells.

Engraving

Names, serials, and markings done clean and permanent, including the engraving an NFA build calls for.

Appraisals

A single piece, a full collection, or an estate. We look it over and tell you what it is worth in the current market.

FFL transfers

Bought a firearm online or from an out-of-state seller? We receive it, run the paperwork, and hand it over once everything checks out.

Trade-ins and used firearms

Bring in what you are not shooting anymore. We take an honest look and give you a fair number, in cash or trade toward your next one.

How a Transfer Works

Most appointments take about 15 minutes once you are cleared to pick up.

  1. Pick us at checkout. Buying online? Choose Iron Sights Firearms as your FFL dealer when the store asks, or send your seller our license info.

  2. Ship it here. Have your seller ship the firearm to our FFL and send us the tracking. We log it the moment it arrives.

  3. Book your time. Pick an appointment or give us a call, and bring a valid Maryland photo ID with your current address.

  4. Finish on site. We complete the federal Form 4473 together, and the required background check runs: Maryland State Police review handgun purchases, and we run the NICS check for long guns. Once you are cleared and any waiting period has passed, you take it home.

What to bring

  • A valid government-issued photo ID with your current address
  • In Maryland: your HQL for a handgun purchase, and your 77R application filed through the State Police Licensing Portal for regulated firearms.

Background check delayed? It happens, and it isn't a denial — we'll store your firearm securely and contact you the moment it clears.
