Terms Of Use:
Who can post a classified?
To avoid scams you must be a member for six months and have 100 posts to post a classified OR you must be a Supporting Member.
Resale Restriction:
If you intend to buy an item for resale, you must wait 24 hours after an ad is posted before purchasing. This applies to everyone, including FFL dealers, GunBroker sellers, flippers, and gun show traders. Attempts to circumvent this (via PMs, multiple IDs, or proxy buyers) may result in a permanent ban.
“I’ll Take It” Requirement:
If an item sells within the first 24 hours, the buyer must post “I’ll Take It” directly in the ad thread. The seller must enforce this requirement. A timely PM or email follow-up is recommended. Failure to comply may result in an Unidentified Sale infraction (1 point, active for 1 year).
Clear Terms:
State all terms and requirements—including any inspection period or right to return—clearly in your ad. Accurate descriptions, clear photos, and transparency make transactions smoother. Include your state in your ad or profile, as it affects shipping and local laws.
Legal Compliance:
All listings must comply with federal, state, and local laws. Do not list or suggest any illegal transactions.
Commercial Sellers:
Dealers or those conducting ongoing commercial sales (more than 30 days/year or frequent sales) must donate at the Silver level or higher. Click “Donations” in the top navigation bar for details.
Caveat Emptor:
Buyer Beware: The Smith & Wesson Forum, its owners, and staff do not guarantee or endorse any ad posted here. Sellers are encouraged to leave ad details (including price) intact after sale for research purposes.
Ad Management:
General Posting Rules apply. (See: RULES)
Direct Messages: Your profile must accept direct messages from members.
Pricing: All For Sale ads must include a price (OBO is allowed). “Make offer” ads are not permitted.
Cross-Listings: Promptly mark items sold on other forums or websites in the ad title and body.
Auction Links: No links or promotions of auctions or sales on other sites.
Bumps: One bump per calendar day. No bumps on the first day. “Pics sent” or “Email responded to” posts are unnecessary; use direct messages instead.
Extraneous Posts: Only “I’ll take it” replies are allowed. All other questions or offers must be via PM or email.
Feedback: Use the Feedback forum, not the ad thread.
No advertising other forums or external websites without prior permission (Silver level donor or higher required).
Hold Harmless: The Smith & Wesson Forum and its staff are not responsible for any transactions.

Ad Management:- One ad per section (Guns, Accessories, or Wanted to Buy) at a time.
- Update the title with SOLD, TRADED, or WITHDRAWN to close the ad. Do not post “SOLD” as a new reply.
- When your ad is closed, you may post a new one.
- Forum staff may lock sold ads or re-open them if a transaction falls through (report using the “Report” button).
