This is for a set of Burkett Custom 1911 Aletai Meteorite grips.  These handmade grips were built from a slab of the Aletai Meterorite found in China.   The Aletai is in the anomalous IIIE Iron meteorite class.  It is an Iron meteorite that is predominantly composed of Fe-Ni (Iron-Nickel) metal that crystallized from a melt.  Anomalous designates meteorites that have been determined to be a member of a specific group, but have certain properties that are unusual or distinctive.  It has the highest Au (Gold) concentration in the group, and its Ir (Iridium) concentration (0.228-0.235 µg/g) is much higher than that inferred through the trend of the other group members.   This one of a kind set will fit any standard 1911 frame and accentuate any high end gun such as a Nighthawk, Wilson Combat, Les Baer, Ed Brown, Cabot, Dan Wesson, STI, or the more common 1911 Colt, Kimber, Springfield Armory, Para Ordnance, Sig Sauer, Ruger, Remington, and Taurus pistols.  These quality grips are backed by a warranty against breakage and are shipped with a storage box and a custom draw string bag.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify the legality of the gun, gun accessory, or ammunition within their state, county, or municipality. The seller will not be responsible for any fees, refunds, or shipping costs due to a failed background check or a discovery that the purchased weapon is not legal to purchase in the buyer’s location. Used guns are sold as used, therefore all used guns should be inspected by a qualified gunsmith before use. Through the purchase, the buyer agrees to have the gun inspected by a qualified gunsmith, and if not, the responsibility of the seller is released.  For more information on state laws refer to:  https://www.nraila.org/GUN-LAWS/STATE-GUN-LAWS/

I accept cashier’s checks and Visa/Mastercard/Discover/American Express(3%).  I can also accept money orders, but being that I have to send those to my bank for deposit, expect approximately shipment 1-2 weeks AFTER I receive payment.   Payment may either be made through the requested Card payment option or by sending to the business address.  I may consider layaways, but generally don’t do them. When I do, I generally require approximately a minimum of a $300 non refundable down payment.

I have a FFL and will ship insured USPS priority mail for most pistols and UPS ground for rifles. Shipping will factored upon purchase request. I automatically include insurance in factoring shipping cost. Please request no insurance in the purchase request if you don’t want it, but I will not be responsible for any damage claims. Do not plan on an in person pick up, unless contacting prior to bidding, as my schedule is all over the place. I will ship to C&R holders for C&R eligible guns. If C&R is in header of auction, then I’ll ship to C&R. I will ship to CA, but it is the BUYERS responsibility to make sure that the firearm is legal there and that their FFL will accept the gun. A CA returned gun due to not being on CA roster will result in a 25% restocking fee. I ship at least once a week which is usually on Wednesday. The faster I receive payment and FFL, the faster I’ll try to get the item shipped. If an item is damaged during shipment, the original packaging and item must be kept. I cannot make a claim on without the packaging and damaged item. I will not refund for any damages during shipping if the packaging and damaged item have not been kept, as I cannot submit a claim. Shipping damage claims will not be done if that option is chosen.

Firearms shipped to FFL dealer only 

I will ship upon receipt of payment and signed legible copy of dealer’s FFL via mail or email. It is the BUYERS responsibility to find and FFL in their area and arrange for that FFL to be sent to me. Expect delayed ship times (1-3 weeks) if I am requested or expected to obtain the FFL for the buyer. 

3 Day unfired/unused return policy. I will gladly accept returns for any failure on my part to disclose anything or if there are any functional issues that I failed to find/notice. I am not Amazon and will not accept returns simply because your gun style has changed from day to day like my wife treats her shoes and her returns to Amazon. I attempt to take pictures of everything in order for the purchaser to be able to make their own opinion as to condition, so it is the responsibility of the bidder/buyer to review ALL pictures and read the description before purchasing if there is a buy it now.

Ask any and all questions before purchasing.

I am a collector first and seller second. SOME of the guns I list, I am not in a hurry to get rid of or wouldn’t mind keeping. Some of these I may list at high market value, as I may change my mind and decide to keep them.
