About ETS ARMS
ETS ARMS is a federally licensed firearms dealer serving the Texas Panhandle Area. We prefer to handle dealer and private party transfers for our customers and do not generally stock merchandise for sale. We are on file as a transfer dealer with hundreds of on-line dealers, distributors, and manufacturers. We can also special order firearms and related supplies, customize your AR upper or lower, and we do some trigger work and installation of night sights on select handguns. We usually refer more extensive gunsmithing and manufacturing work out to other shops. If you don't see what your looking for on our website, visit one of our industry partners to the left and select us to be your transfer dealer. Our dealer and private party transfers are only $20 per firearm, and tips are optional.

Warranties
All firearms and merchandise sold or transferred by us is sold or transferred AS IS. We offer no warranty, whether express or implied on anything we sell or transfer to our customers. The only warranties these products have are any specific warranties provided by the manufacturer or distributors of the product. You must make arrangements with them for any warranty obligation or service. ETS ARMS will not act as an intermediary for warranty obligations performed by or on behalf of the manufacturer or distributor.

Any dispute arising out of or related to these TERMS or the sales transaction between the customer and ETS ARMS shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflicts of law rules. Specifically, the validity, interpretation, and performance of this agreement shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods.

Finally, the Customer also agrees not to bring any legal action, based upon any legal theory including contract, tort, equity or otherwise, against ETS ARMS that is more than one year after the date of the applicable invoice.

If you wish to change the FFL you selected for shipping your order to, you will be charged a $20 fee to correct the shipment and must be done before the item is placed with the shipping agent.

We generally ship via USPS or UPS for shipping and every effort will be made to ship by the most economical method possible.

Long guns and general merchandise ship by ground delivery unless you pay the added costs for a more expedient shipping method.

We do not warranty any shipping method or guarantee the time of arrival once the order has been shipped. You are responsible for paying any costs for insuring orders that you wish to insure for delivery. Refused deliveries that are returned will be subject to our 20% restocking fee and any other fees.

Legal Restrictions on Interstate Purchase or Transfer of Firearms
For Interstate purchases or transfers of firearms we follow both Federal and State Laws on the matter.
The Texas law that is relevant to interstate purchase of firearms is Texas Penal Code 46.07 Interstate Purchase:
"A resident of this state may, if not otherwise precluded by law, purchase firearms, ammunition, reloading components, or firearm accessories in another state. This authorization is enacted in conformance with 18 U.S.C. Section 922(b)(3)(A)."
The Federal law that is relevant to interstate purchase of firearms is 18 U.S.C. Section 922(b)(3)(A):
"(b) It shall be unlawful for any licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector to sell or deliver—
(3) any firearm to any person who the licensee knows or has reasonable cause to believe does not reside in (or if the person is a corporation or other business entity, does not maintain a place of business in) the State in which the licensee’s place of business is located, except that this paragraph
(A) shall not apply to the sale or delivery of any rifle or shotgun to a resident of a State other than a State in which the licensee’s place of business is located if the transferee meets in person with the transferor to accomplish the transfer, and the sale, delivery, and receipt fully comply with the legal conditions of sale in both such States (and any licensed manufacturer, importer or dealer shall be presumed, for purposes of this sub-paragraph, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, to have had actual knowledge of the State laws and published ordinances of both States)"
Therefore we will sell or transfer a rifle or shotgun to a citizen of another State so long as it is legal for the person to purchase, receive or possess the rifle or shotgun within their home state and they must pass a NICS background check [The NICS exception for individuals who possess a valid State issued Handgun license does not apply to out of State Licenses, unfortunately].
Ammunition Shipping Requirements
We will only ship ammunition to you if you provide us a copy of your valid State or Federal issued photo ID indicating that you are at least 18 years of age for long gun ammunition or 21 years of age for pistol ammunition. When you buy ammunition, we must have a signed statement you that you are not a person who is prohibited by law from purchasing or possessing ammunition. You cannot purchase or possess ammunition if you have not been pardoned or had your rights restored and you:
