Pricing and Payment
All prices are displayed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.
Prices do not include applicable taxes, shipping charges, government fees, transfer fees, background-check fees, or other charges unless expressly stated.
Faultline Armory reserves the right to correct pricing errors before or after an order is submitted. If an order is affected by a material pricing error, we may cancel the order and refund any amount collected.
Payment authorization does not constitute acceptance of an order.

- Confirming that the receiving FFL will accept the shipment.

A completed purchase does not guarantee that a firearm or regulated product will be transferred to the customer.
Please review our Firearm Purchasing & FFL Transfer Policy for complete details.
Product Compatibility and Installation
Many firearm components and accessories are designed for specific makes, models, generations, configurations, or specifications.
Customers are responsible for verifying compatibility before purchasing or installing a product.
Unless otherwise expressly stated by the manufacturer, firearm components should be installed, inspected, and tested by a qualified gunsmith or certified armorer.
After installation or modification, the firearm must be properly inspected and function-tested before use.
Improper installation, incompatible components, unauthorized modifications, or failure to follow manufacturer instructions may cause firearm malfunction, property damage, serious bodily injury, or death.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Faultline Armory is not responsible for injury, loss, or damage resulting from improper installation, incompatible components, unauthorized work, misuse, or failure to follow applicable instructions and safety procedures.

- Trigger installation or tuning.
- Optic mounting.
- Laser engraving.
- Cerakote® application.
- Stippling.

Customers submitting a firearm or component for service represent that they lawfully own the item or are otherwise legally authorized to possess it and request the applicable work.
Faultline Armory may require proof of identity, ownership, or lawful possession before accepting or releasing an item.
Project estimates and anticipated completion dates are provided as estimates only and are not guaranteed. Completion may be affected by workload, parts availability, manufacturer delays, project complexity, regulatory requirements, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Once custom work, procurement, machining, finishing, engraving, or modification has begun, the order generally cannot be canceled, changed, or refunded.
Completed custom services are final unless Faultline Armory determines that a covered workmanship issue exists or a different remedy is required by law.
Faultline Armory reserves the right to decline any project that cannot be completed safely, legally, reliably, or in accordance with our standards.
NFA Items and Special Orders
National Firearms Act items, special-order merchandise, custom-order products, and other regulated items are subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws.
Customers are responsible for satisfying all required application, identification, registration, background-check, tax, transfer, and approval requirements.
Government and manufacturer processing times are outside Faultline Armory’s control and are not guaranteed.
NFA items and special-order products are generally considered final sale once the product has been ordered, allocated, manufactured, transferred to Faultline Armory, or associated paperwork has been submitted.
Deposits and fees may be non-refundable once procurement, manufacturing, transfer processing, or government filing has begun.
Additional terms may be presented at the time an NFA item or special-order product is purchased.

Customers are responsible for following:
- All accepted firearm safety rules.
- Manufacturer instructions and warnings.

California Compliance
California customers may be subject to additional legal requirements concerning firearms, ammunition, firearm accessories, barrels, magazines, regulated components, manufacturing equipment, and other products.
Where required, Faultline Armory may request additional identity or age verification and may present mandatory warnings, notices, disclosures, certifications, or acknowledgments during checkout, before shipment, or at the time of transfer.
Failure to complete a required verification or acknowledgment may result in delayed processing, order cancellation, shipment refusal, or denial of transfer.
Faultline Armory reserves the right to restrict or refuse the sale, shipment, delivery, or transfer of any product when necessary to comply with applicable law.
California Proposition 65
Certain products sold by Faultline Armory may be subject to warning requirements under California Proposition 65.
Where required, applicable warnings may appear on product pages, packaging, labels, accompanying documentation, store signage, or at the point of sale.
Customers should review all product-specific warnings, labels, and manufacturer instructions before purchase and use.
The presence of a Proposition 65 warning does not alter the customer’s responsibility to follow all applicable safety instructions and handling procedures.
