FIREARMS TERMS AND CONDITIONS


Be aware of the local laws of your state, city, and municipality on what firearms you can possess before making a purchase. Any purchaser of firearms need to be at least 18 years of age for longarms, shotguns and rifles, and 21 years of age for any handgun.

All modern firearms require the purchaser to present a valid FFL, perform a NICS background check or have the firearm transferred to another FFL holder.. Antique firearms require no further action and can be picked up or shipped directly. An antique firearm is defined in the National Firearms Act as:

Any any firearm not intended or redesigned for using rim fire or conventional center fire ignition with fixed ammunition and manufactured in or before 1898 and also any firearm using fixed ammunition manufactured in or before 1898, for which ammunition is no longer manufactured in the United States and is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade.

CURIO AND RELIC FFL: Anyone with a valid C&R FFL can pick up any firearm that falls in that category. The ATF defines C&R items as any firearm manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date or are included on ATF’s C&R list available on their website.

Quinn’s Auction Galleries is a Type 1 FFL holder and can perform a background check during your appointment for a $5 dollar charge. You will need to fill out Federal form 4473 and Virginia form SP65. It is illegal to lie on any of these forms. Quinn’s Auction then sends this information to the Virginia State Police and receives a response of approved, denied, delayed, or in research. The ATF has up to three days before we can release the firearm to you. It is straw bidding and illegal to purchase a firearm for another individual in exchange for monetary compensation.

If you would like to transfer a firearm to an FFL holder, the purchaser is responsible for shipping costs. Please be patient. We will ship the firearm once we have all the requisite documents.

VIRGINIA BUYERS: Please bring a VALID PHOTO ID issued by a governmental agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia that has the individual’s name, sex, and date of birth. If the identification used is issued by the Virginia DMV, 30 days must have passed from the issue date, unless you bring a copy of the purchaser's DMV driver’s record that shows that the original date of issue was more than 30 days before. As of April 2020, Virginia residents can only purchase one handgun a month, unless you possess a valid dealer FFL or valid Virginia Concealed Carry License. Please keep this in mind when purchasing multiple handguns as you will have to perform multiple background checks.

OUT OF STATE BUYERS: ALL HANDGUNS MUST BE TRANSFERRED TO AN INSTATE FFL FOR OUT OF STATE BUYERS. Unregulated longarms, rifles and shotguns, may be picked up in person by out of state residents. You must bring two valid forms of identification. This must be a valid photo-ID issued by a governmental agency of the purchaser's state of residence and one other form of identification determined to be acceptable by the Department of Criminal Justice Services. The following secondary forms of ID are acceptable:

A current lease; evidence of currently paid personal property tax or real estate tax; a current utility or telephone bill; a current voter registration card; a current bank check; a current passport (must include an address); a current automobile registration; or a current hunting or fishing license

MARYLAND RESIDENTS: Please review the list of approved firearms for you to possess. Maryland Residents can pick up nonregulated long arms in person.
