Services What we offer

We accept transfers from other dealers and private parties. Please contact us at argentforce@gmail.com prior to having any firearm shipped to us so we can make sure it's legal. We may also be able to get the firearm you want at a lower price and save you money on transfer fees. If your purchase is a handgun and you're not exempt (law enforcement for example), please check the roster of approved handguns to ensure it's California compliant. http://certguns.doj.ca.gov/
