The Shouse Firearm Collection #1
Auction Ending: Closing begins Sunday, November 23rd at 6pm.
***ILLINOIS BUYERS***
Starting in 2024 we are using a new software system for our firearm sales. Below are two options on how you may go about picking up your firearm. We appreciate your understanding.
Option 1: In-Person Purchase and Background Check
1. Waiting Period: The wait period will begin starting at the end of the auction once invoices are deployed. Be aware of any required waiting period in your jurisdiction, which is 72 hours for Illinois residents.
2. Once the 72 hour wait period is over, visit our office in Nokomis, IL.
3. Fill out Form 4473: Come in person and complete Form 4473, providing all necessary personal and background information as required for purchasing a firearm.
4. Run Background Check:Once the 4473 is complete, we will initiate a background check using the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to verify your eligibility. This process ensures compliance with laws and safety regulations. In some instances the background check can come back approved and you will be able to take your firearm home the same day. If it does not come back instantly approved, then we will contact you once your background check notifies us to proceed or if there has been a delay.
5. Pickup: Once your background is cleared, we will then send an email or call you letting you know that you are approved to pick up your firearm. Return to Aumann Auctions to pick up your firearm, ensuring you comply with any additional requirements or fees set by the office.
Option 2: Shipment to a Licensed FFL Dealer
1. Find a Local FFL Dealer: Locate a licensed Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer in your area.
2. Contact us at Aumann Auctions: Inform us of your chosen FFL dealer and provide us with the necessary details.
3. Provide FFL Information: Ask your chosen FFL dealer to send a copy of their license to Aumann Auctions. (They can email it to [email protected] but they MUST include the name of the buyer so we know who's firearms we are shipping to them.)
4. Shipment: Once we receives the FFL dealer's license, we will ship the firearm directly to your selected FFL dealer. We will ensure all shipping regulations and restrictions are followed.
5. Pickup from FFL Dealer: Coordinate with your selected FFL dealer for firearm pickup. They will handle the necessary paperwork and any additional requirements or fees on their end.
By choosing either option, you can legally acquire your firearm while complying with regulations and promoting responsible gun ownership.
***OUT OF STATE BUYER***
Proceed as usual with your purchase and pickup based on your state regulations.
