01 / About the Shed

SMALL BUSINESS. LOCAL ROOTS.

I am passionate about the firearms industry and have years of real world experience in buying, selling, and servicing many different types of firearms.

I am Federally licensed by the ATF with a Type 07 Firearm Manufacturing license, Type 1 Dealer license, Type 3 Curios & Relics license and a type 2 SOT registration.

All of that put together means I love to be a resource for anyone needing a transfer, advice, sales, or service for anything firearms or accessories related.

Shoot me a text with any questions or to arrange a transfer.

Everyone asks where we got the shed.

It was from Lot of Faith (opens in a new tab) in Dickson, TN.

My wife and I did all the interior work, including HVAC, electric, and shiplap.

Common Questions

What to bring?

Please bring your current valid Tennessee driver's license.

Are you still doing Form 4's for suppressors?

For suppressors, current ATF guidance does not enforce the requirement to obtain Form 4 approval before a domestic transfer. Form 4473 and the required TBI background check still apply, along with other applicable federal, state, and local requirements.

Information checked October 28, 2026. See current ATF guidance (opens in a new tab).
