Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions we are asked most often, gathered in one place so they can be read before ordering rather than after. If your question is not answered here, the contact page has the email address and we usually reply within one business day.
Most of the confusion around replica guns comes from three words: replica, blank and cap. A replica is a solid piece that cannot fire anything. A blank gun is a real mechanism that fires powder without a projectile and is vented so it cannot chamber a round. A cap gun uses a paper ring of impact caps and has no powder at all. Knowing which of the three you are buying solves most of the questions below.
Shipping and legal questions depend on the destination, so they are answered on the ordering page as well as here. When in doubt, ask before you order: it is far easier to change an order than to recall a parcel that customs has already stopped.

Do you ship internationally?
Yes we will, but the buyer assumes all risk of loss of any confiscations made by customs. We will cancel and refund orders to countries that are known to confiscate replica gun imports. However, we cannot know all laws of all countries, so it is up to the buyer to check their local laws before ordering and buyer assumes all risk of confiscation made by Customs.
CANADA: We are allowed to ship non-firing flintlock replicas, percussion cap replicas, and cowboy-era old west peacemaker-style non-firing replicas to Canada. We cannot ship modern-style non-firing replicas, nor blank guns to Canada.
AUSTRALIA: We can ship replicas to Australia, but you must first acquire the B709A import permit. Provide us with a copy and we will include it with your order.
Do you have a catalog?
No, we do not publish a catalog at this time.
