LMT, as well as other high end manufactures, build products in “allocations” rather than a continual production run for a specific product. The “allocation date” is the estimated production date assigned by the manufacturer + the lead time required to ship the item to V1Tactical. Allocation dates can change (earlier or later) due to manufacturing delays, parts shortages, work stoppages, etc. V1Tactical will issue the “allocation date” received by the manufacturer, but is not responsible for changes to that date if changed by the manufacturer.

An Allocated item is an item V1Tactical has already ordered from the manufacturer. When purchasing an allocation, you are purchasing an item with an estimated arrival date to V1Tactical from the manufacturer. A Special Order item is an item NOT currently on order with the manufacturer, and will be ordered from the manufacturer once a customer order is received.

Create a V1Tactical account, then submit your proof of eligibility located at the bottom of the home page. A V1Tactical team member will review your documentation and approve your special discount request. You will receive a 2% account credit based on the order total (excluding shipping & tax) to be used towards your next online order. The 2% credit does not apply to "Sale" items or items where "V-Tac" credits are already being offered. Please allow up to 7 days for the credit to appear in your account.

A "FFL" is a Federal Firearm License. There are currently over 58,000 FFL holders nationwide. FFL holders are commonly gun stores, pawn shops, and retail sporting goods stores. However, there are also many individuals that hold a FFL. All firearms sold to individuals online must be shipped to a local FFL holder who will then transfer the firearm (via ATF form 4473 and associated background check) to the individual.

The transfer fee varies nationwide, however the average fee tends to be around $25. Please contact your FFL directly to confirm.

Accessory Returns Returns are ONLY accepted for merchandise found defective immediately upon receipt and returned within 7 calendar days of receipt. Accessory items that have been opened from the manufacturer packaging will not be accepted for return. Returns will NOT be accepted for any accessories that have been installed/mounted. Most accessory items have a manufacturer warranty. Please contact the manufacturer if there are any issues with/post installation. Original shipping charges are NOT refunded if the item is NOT found to be defective. Customers will be responsible for return shipping in these cases. These orders may be subject to a 30% restocking fee. Firearm Returns Please take your time to inspect all firearms thoroughly BEFORE proceeding with the transfer. Once a new firearm is transferred to you, it is considered used, even if unfired. Consequently, we cannot accept returns on firearms once they have been transferred into your possession. Also, we DO NOT reimburse FFL transfer fees on returned items. **Upon discovering a defect AFTER the transfer, the firearm MUST be returned directly to the the manufacturer for replacement or repair (in accordance with manufacturer’s warranty policy).** By sending a defective firearm directly to the manufacturer, you can avoid the unnecessary transfer fees associated with returning the firearm to us through your local FFL dealer. Manufacturer repaired firearms can be returned directly to the customer without additional FFL transfer or associated fees. V1Tactical.com will provide a prepaid label to ship the firearm to the manufacturer, if a prepaid label is not covered under their warranty.

You are responsible for knowing your State & Local firearm regulations prior to placing an order. Any items returned to V1 Tactical by your FFL will incur a 40% restocking fee. You are responsible for the cost of shipping the returned firearm to V1 Tactical.

If the ATF bans/reclassifies pistol braces, firearms containing such a devise may be required to be registered as an SBR. If you decide to cancel an order for an AR pistol due to legislative changes, standard cancelation fee's will apply.

We are dilligently sharing ALL information as soon as we have it which can be reviewed on our blog & news site: blog.v1tactical.com
