Shipping & Logistics

Museum-grade transit for 19th-century historical artifacts.

The Antique Direct Advantage

At FirearmsAntique.com, we specialize in the safe and legal transit of **firearms antiques**. Because every piece in our inventory was manufactured in or before 1898, these items are not legally considered firearms under the U.S. Gun Control Act of 1968.

This allows us to ship original antique guns directly to your home or office in most jurisdictions without the need for an FFL transfer or background check. Every order is dispatched from our Gillette, NJ logistics hub with the utmost care for historical preservation.

Vetted Logistics

We use double-walled, reinforced boxing and custom-molded padding to ensure that aged wood and original steel finishes are protected against shifts in temperature or humidity during transit.

Full Insurance

All shipments are fully insured for their total replacement or investment value. From Civil War muskets to rare WWI artifacts, your historical investment is protected until it reaches your door.

Global Reach

We facilitate international shipping for collectors worldwide. We provide all necessary firearms antique documentation to ensure smooth customs clearance in participating countries.

Processing & Dispatch

To maintain maximum security and privacy, orders are processed immediately upon the clearance of funds via Bitcoin (BTC), Zelle, or bank wire. Standard processing time for vetting and crating is 2-4 business days.

Once your item leaves our New Jersey facility, you will receive a tracked notification. Please note that an adult signature (21+) is required for all deliveries to ensure the secure handover of these significant historical assets.

Ready for Dispatch

Your piece of history is currently housed in our climate-controlled archive in Gillette, NJ.
