We carry a small inventory in order to provide immediate purchases and try to present an array of what is available.  To carry a much larger inventory would require additional warehouse space, higher utilities and additional labor costs which would translate to a higher price of the firearm to you.  So to keep prices below MSRP we choose to carry a smaller inventory than other sites. 

The ownership of James River Firearms resides in an older company under which we have been in business for several years registered and reported under Miller Consulting Appraisal and Adjusting LLC.  Income, expenses and taxes are paid from that business, therefore all income generated from this site is reported under that parent company.

We keep your personal information only for shipping and payment authentication as required by law and the IRS.  We share it with no one

Your credit card information goes directly to a secure gateway which processes your purchase and transfers your payment to our account.  We do not ever see or have access to your credit card information.

Yes.  You may send us an email requesting a purchase at which time we will calculate the full amount due.  We will email that amount back to you.  You may obtain a cashier's check in that amount from your local bank and mail it to us.  Upon receipt and verification your purchase will be shipped to you.  Money orders are not accepted.

We try to fill all purchase orders by the end of the day following your purchase.  Shipping averages about 3 to 5 business days so you should receive your purchase within 5 to 7 business days.  We strive to lessen that time frame.

Yes, we offer name brand pistols such as Glock, Ruger, CANIK, Sig Sauer, Beretta, etc. We also have access through our vast expanse of suppliers to find almost any brand on the market. Key words used: pistols, Glock

We offer additional items such as ammunition, magazines, protective vests, etc. when available at a reasonable price. Unlike other online gun stores, we only purchase those items when a lower than average price is available. Key words used: firearms for sale, online gun stores,

Very rarely do we sell a used product for two reasons: first, comes the issue of taking the person's word from whom we acquire the gun as to prior ownership, care and use of that collectible Winchester model 12. Second, pricing in the used firearm market varies greatly from area to area throughout the country. So for example, you might be able to purchase used hunting rifles in a mid west state cheaper than one in the desert southwest. So since we service the entire 48 contiguous states, it is not possible to maintain non-variable pricing throughout the entire country. Your local gun shops may offer a better option for used products Key words used: guns for sale, Winchester, rifles, gun shops
