Marketplace Prohibited Items

This policy is part of the Marketplace Terms. It lists what may not be sold on the ArmoryFlow Marketplace and what we review before it appears to buyers. It does not replace the law: you are responsible for following federal, state and local law wherever you and the buyer are.

What private sellers may list

• Handgun
• Rifle
• Shotgun
• Receiver or frame (serialized; listed and transferred as a firearm)
• Optic
• Accessory

Anything else cannot be listed by a private seller. Private sellers may not list: NFA items (including suppressors), ammunition, magazines, firearm parts other than a serialized receiver or frame, or body armor. Licensed dealers may list used items under Section 6.5 of the Marketplace Terms, and NFA items only with an active Special Occupational Tax status.

Never allowed

A listing for any of these is refused:

• Machine-gun conversion devices (auto sears, drop-in auto sears, lightning links, switches) cannot be listed.
• Bump stocks cannot be listed.
• Unfinished (80%) receivers and frames, receiver blanks and jigs cannot be listed.
• Solvent trap kits cannot be listed.
• Destructive devices and explosives cannot be listed.
• Polymer80-type unfinished frames cannot be listed.
• Firearms whose serial number has been removed, altered, or obliterated (18 U.S.C. § 922(k)).
• Stolen items.

Held for review

These review triggers apply to every listing, including dealer listings.

A listing that mentions any of these is not shown to buyers until our team reviews it, and may be removed:

• No serial number. Allowed only for a firearm made before 1968 that was never required to have one, and the listing must say so.
• Mentions full-auto / select-fire / machine gun.
• Forced-reset or binary trigger (legal status varies by state).
• Mentions grenades or explosives.
• A stripped receiver or frame listed outside the Receiver or frame category. It is a firearm and must be listed as one (FFL transfer, age check).
• Wording suggests a transfer without an FFL or background check.

Transfers

Every firearm sold through the Marketplace must be transferred through a licensed FFL in the buyer's state of residence, with the background check and paperwork federal and state law require. Listings that offer to skip the FFL, the background check or the paperwork are not allowed.

Reporting

Use Report on any listing that breaks this policy. A listing reported by more than one user may be hidden while we review it. Questions: support@armoryflow.com.
