Policies

Purchase

• If you have questions about a transaction at any time, please email Charles van Riper III at(charles@homesteadfirearms.com ) or call us 1-520-749-1813 to find out if the item you are interested in is still available.  Guns that are presently available for sale are loaded in the shop cart.
• Once we agree on a sales price of the item, we will hold that item 5 business days awaiting payment. If we do not hear from you or payment is not received within 5 business days, the item will be returned to stock immediately.
• We will combine your purchases to reduce shipping costs.  There will be a minimal shipping and handling fee. 
• All guns (except those that are NIB) are sold as antiques and as such carry no guarantee.  Every gun should be taken to a certified gunsmith prior to discharging any ammunition, in order to properly assess the safety of that gun for firing.  Many of the earlier guns that we sell were originally made for black powder loads, and NOT the new smokeless powders used in today's manufactured bullets. 
• All purchases made on a time-payment schedule need to be finalized by six months or the item will be returned to inventory and relisted for sale.  When the item is relisted all installment payments are forfited.

• Transactions cancelled prior to shipment will still be charged the service fee (if your credit card has been run) and the restocking fee.
• Ownership of all items left at Homestead Firearms that are not claimed within 12 months, revert back to Homestead  Firearms.

Trades

We are always open to trades, however, it is very difficult to accomplish trades on items that we have not seen in-hand. We prefer to reserve trades for in-person transactions, due to the problem of evaluating something sight unseen. If you elect to send an item to us for evaluation, we will evaluate the item in a timely manner and make you the best offer possible. You will need to cover shipping costs both ways, only if we are unable to reach an agreeable trade or sale amount.

General Questions on YOUR items

We will gladly answer any questions that you have on items that you presently have, and wish to get appraised, sell or trade.  We look forward to your correspondence.
