=====================================================================================

The ABOVE ARE IN OUR SAFES..........HOWEVER, IF WE DO NOT KNOW YOU, THE ONLY WAY OUR BANK SAFES WILL OPEN IS.....IF YOU HAVE CASH AND 6.75% Tax. You must have a purchase permit, or NC CCW and driver's license. Ozark is a shipping facility and does NOT have a show room or show cases. We recommend Gander Mountain ($75 FFL transfer prices), Shooter's Express ($65 FFL transfer prices) and Hyatt's (FFL transfer prices start at $50 and head North)  These companies have plenty to look at, clean stores, tons of employees and nice show cases with plenty to look at..  Ozark Guns works out of a building built in 1930. We are old school with steel desks and a floor that gets swept every couple weeks.  And here is the OZARK ADVANTAGE: we can save you money! FFL transfers are the same price we charged in 1999, $15 cash. Property, building and inventory are all paid for. Zero Debt.

PS.  We only sell firearms which require an FFL.  No ammo, no accessories.  We target a special buyer: military, LE/Fire, local SWAT, Local Narcotics team, high rollers in state and nationwide. We do not sell cheap firearms.    Disclaimer for would be thieves and robbers: We have armed security people, cameras with time stamps, break into Ozark it will be a fatal mistake. All for what?  Firearms and cash are in bank vaults.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In stock:  Kel-Tec PF9. $299

===============================================================

Please remember this site has NEVER had a shopping cart and has never been well organized.  This website is down home with plenty of my pictures. FFL transfers are still $15. With low overhead, my FFL does not need to generate the big bucks to operate like the big stores. My FFL is not my only source of income.

Our favorite customers are polite, nice honest people. Military/fire, law enforcement and ATF agents, out of state customers with big money and big collections. Pay in cash or bank check. If an emergency came up where I had go leave the shop, 99.9% of Ozark Guns loyal local customers I would trust to hold down the fort with gun safes and cash safes unlocked. (Remember we work for the ATF. The ATF is our boss. They can shut us down.  If they want 100% correct paperwork, we are expected to deliver 100% correct paperwork. Please take your time filling out the mandatory 4473 form. It HAS to be 100% on your end and on ours. One empty box or something left off means we get a citation. We want to keep $15 transfers rolling. We have the best customers!)

Least favorite: people we don't know, have no cash and no permit, who think they "Have A Right" to see the inside of my bank vaults. Hit the road. No showroom here. We only sell new, current models. There are no old super rare, needle in the haystack firearms at Ozark. Note: If we sold used firearms we would be less critical of the just looking crowd. That said, my business is in Gaston County, NC. The economy is lousy, meth heads and crack addicts run the streets. These nut jobs are stealing manhole covers to sell as scrap steel.

We are set up for squared away people who know what they want and ready to buy, have cash and correct paperwork to make it happen.

Monday 17 June 11am-9pm Our ATF Audit is over! We are Legal & open for business! Nap time... If you are an FFL, I do not mind sharing what they check.

If you are an individual shipping to Ozark: make copy of your driver's license, sign a sworn statement saying this is you, phone # and email for my mandatory log (bound book). I need your customer's name and phone number. Put customer info on the copy of your driver's license and outside of box so we can call them asap. Dealer's shipping to Ozark already know what to do and do a great job of making it easy for everyone. Our local customers enjoy $15 transfers and late hours. Thanks for using Ozark as your transfer agent! Bob   my FFL at bottom of this page.

 Flexible Office Hours:

Bob Kotula, owner, lives 3 miles from the shop, flexible time, roughly 10am - 8:00pm M-F . And open many weekends as well. After 33 years and well over 10,000 flying hours as a navigator in the C130, I'm finally a retired Lieutenant Colonel. I miss the combat flying!

Always call the shop before driving.  Business phone 704-824-9095  after hours this phone is forwarded to my cel

We will make it work so you get your transfer. I'm usually available until 9 pm.

New for 2013: We are only selling what is in our safes listed on this page. We are not quoting prices. No special orders. We are very busy helping local customers with $15 FFL transfers.

 Translation: The owner got hurt in Afghanistan 2010, has been through 5 operations and feels way less than 100% mentally and physically. We are scaling back big time, but still open.  Our business plan is to stay small and offer 110% customer satisfaction. (Many on-line companies got way too big, too fast and then could not handle it. They made promises they never kept. They ticked off good gun buying customers.)

We are doing a ton of $15 transfers and shipping our in-stock guns nationwide daily. We specialize in Colt 1911's when we can get them. Also high quality Smith & Wesson is on our list. (Current fit and finish is 99.9% perfect. Combine a top notch product made in USA, a life-time warranty, and outstanding customer service, S&W is a superior product.)

I especially like the J-Frames and L-Frames.  A 3" 686 7 shot guards Ozark Guns during business hours. Reasoning: reliability & short learning curve for helpers or hang arounders.    I'm trained on 1911's. Love them. Leave one out for a helper -- NEVER.

Our local customers use Buds Gun Shop and Palmetto Armory more than any other online shop.

(Like all online businesses, some like you, others don't. It's your money, spend it where you want.)

Outbound Shipping for local customers: is $25 over actual expenses. Reason: Takes way more time than filling out a 4473. This will give you more flexibility on the speed and the amount of insurance you want. The $25 helps keep the lights on and property taxes paid. Packing materials: Boxes, air bags, fish, popcorn, tape and drinks are FREE. Rough estimate $40-$55 cash. Distance, speed, insurance and weight all factor in to the final price. It is better to estimate high. We will mail you a check if you are not close by or get it straight on your next visit. We work for YOU.
If you are an individual shipping TO Ozark: make copy of your driver's license, sign a sworn statement saying this is you, phone # and email for my mandatory log (bound book). I need your customer's name and phone number. Put customer info on the copy of your driver's license and outside of box so we can call them asap. Dealer's shipping to Ozark already know what to do and do a great job of making it easy for everyone. Our local customers enjoy $15 transfers and late hours. Thanks for using Ozark as your transfer agent! Bob   my FFL at bottom of this page.     If you are unlicensed here is a good link to keep you out of trouble.

$15 Transfers and Tips: Everyone pays $15 no matter how well we know you. I do NOT take tips. I live a frugal debt free lifestyle.   Robbie, my 18 year old would love a tip. College student living on a shoe string. Nice, but never expected.

 

 

 

My 18 year old son, Robbie Kotula III and Sammie (left). Robbie and his dad, Bob Kotula. Father's Day 2013 at Golden Coral. Note for our loyal local customers: Please BE armed on Ozark property. We look out for you and know you will do the same for us.  (On Ozark Guns private property you have owners permission to carry concealed whether you have a CCW or not. 100% legal)  Safety for my son is paramount.

These are the Taurus Judge killers. Put them side by side and look at fit, finish, quality, 5 shot v 6 shot and the Smith will shoot 45acp! I'm very tempted to keep for office security.

 
Update 8 June:  Model 170133        S&W 627 PERFORMANCE CENTER   I have ONE and only ONE in my safe.

  As of 17 June Sold Out   $xxx Yes, one sexy 380! Expensive? Worth every penny!!!!!

Update: 8 June....We have 2 Governor model 162410 . These are more affordable without laser.   These are the Taurus Judge killers. Put them side by side and look at fit, finish, quality, 6 shot v 5 shot and ability to shoot 45acp. S&W cost more and the reason is much higher quality, more expensive alloys and made in USA. Serial # CUD7774 Spent shell date: 5/7/2013                 Serial # CUE2355 Spent shell date: 5/14/2013       Both NIB. The Governor comes in the old school cardboard box the way Smith did it years ago. A+      New In Box  $699

Note: To get a good idea of current prices on firearms, use the auction sites: http://www.gunbroker.com & http://www.gunsamerica.com   They can get you in the ball park. (Note: the later sent out a wacky blog on mandatory minimum pricing and increasing taxes to make a level playing field. I counter their way of thinking by saying if my overhead is low, I can pass it on to my customers. This is the American way business is conducted. We are not in Europe.

Past customers, military buddies from Iraq, Afghanistan and Charlotte NC always have priority.

Happy Customer!

 We have offered FREE notary work since I opened shop 20 years ago. We will NOT notarize unless it is 100% by the book. No purchase necessary.

Ozark philosophy is to give customers great service and great prices on high quality firearms.  We don't sell "Saturday Night Specials." 

Buy the best you can afford. Guns, watches and hand tools get passed on to the next generation.

Buying Tip:  Watch out for the "internet experts" on shooting forums. Some info is right on and other stuff is just internet crap. My background is in military Bullseye Pistol Shooting referred to as 2700.

 I shoot a Smith model 41 and a Clark built 185 grain wad 45acp.  Both have Ultra-Dot slide mounted scopes.  I have 33 years with the NC Air Guard as a C130 navigator. Rank Lieutenant Colonel.  

How to spot a newbie at a Bullseye match: Shows up with a brand new production Kimber Gold Match, no optics and is shooting 230 grain ball ammo.

We have the Rhino in 2" for $750 and 5" for $850  made in Italy. Slick design - Google it!
Loyal Customers for 10 years. Thank You Wendell C.  David Goins, with family. Lives next to shop. Does night time security for us. Thank You David!
We do not have a show room or showcases. All guns are locked in commercial bank vaults. The ATF has asked us to keep a very close eye on inventory. The the past, people we do not know were allowed to look inside the safes. We have been ripped off by the "just looking" flea market/yard sale crowd. Use this website. Unless we personally know you, or you are law enforcement/fire or military or you have cash and a purchase permit/CCW in hand we do not open the vaults. Local Customers: Our nationwide customers do NOT want your fingerprints on their guns. We are basically a shipping facility for Colt 1911's. We ship all over the United States. All firearms are new in the box. This website tells you what we have, ready to ship or sell direct. Sell Direct = Web Price + sales tax. If we ship = Web Price + S/H/I           S/H/I varies from $20 to $35.

Local Customers: If you want to look at firearms, we are not the place. Shooter's Express in Belmont and Hyatt's in Charlotte have a large inventory and nice looking display cases.  They both have huge overheads. Ozark Guns is debt free. We are set up to do $15 transfers and sell expensive firearms. Also, I have never sold ammo. I get free 45/22 ammo to practice with for the military Bullseye pistol team I'm a member of.  No conflict of interest.

So why use Ozark Guns?

We offer $15 transfer's, work late, offer free drinks, have a free pool table, and willing to adjust our schedule to make it work for your schedule. Our overhead is low. I live 3 miles from the shop.

It is illegal big time not to charge sales tax if you buy directly from my shop. We do everything by the book. Bob Kotula

I have been selling affordable used cars since 1992. Cash Only.  Gun dealer since 1999.  33 Years in the NC Air National Guard. C130 Navigator. Rank: LTC. At 52 years old, I didn't just fall off the turnip truck.

 I take pride in being a straight shooter in both my businesses.  I make very few promises, but when I do, I follow through.

FREE NOTARY & $15 FFL transfers is our way of saying THANK YOU to our faithful local customers. I want your business! Concealed carry is always welcome and appreciated.

 

Our favorite local customers pay with CASH.   CASH IS KING ON THE HILL.  With sales tax: round up or down. We don't want or give coins.  If you are local with a track record, personal check is great.  If you are out of state Visa or MasterCard is fine.  Being a merchant I get hit for 2.5%-3.5% for cc's. Just a cost of doing business out of state. We have never charged extra for credit cards.

That said, our favorite out of state customers send us certified bank checks.  They do it out of kindness. It does not save them any money, but they know it saves us the cc fees to keep our overhead super low. Thank You!

These are in stock NIB. Prices coming soon

In Stock as of 9 June 2013:

Glock G31 Generation 4, 357 Sig, New in box, 3 magazines. $550 + $30 s/h/i = $580 No extra for Visa/MC if we ship.  Had 10 yesterday. Today we are down to 1. Local customers $550 + $37 tax = $587 out the door.  My Pictures

 

In Stock:

Steyr Mannlicher, S9 A1, 9mm or 40 cal. New In Box.  Local customers only:  $550 + tax $37= $587 Reduced. $500 + $34 tax. $534 out the door. My Pictures Here.  Both are new firearms, but used as dealer demos to let local customers check out Steyr quality. People have touched these a bunch so I'm not shipping. Most people agree.......Steyr feels better than Glock and the Steyr trigger is hands down better.

 

FNH PS90, made in Belgium, older model, New In Box, 30 round magazine, 5.7x28mm, High quality, $2500 + $50 s/h/i if we ship. Local customers $2500 + tax $169 tax= $2669 cash My pictures

 
 

My 2 cents at Ozark Guns: Sig Sauer has always had that superior fit and finish you can feel as soon as you grip one. Sure a Glock will get the job done, but the Sig seems to ooze QUALITY. Quality firearms cost more. In the long run when you buy the best you will have less buyers remorse. Firearms tend to stay in families and get passed down to future generations. Firearm prices only go one way.....North. (New Sig coming soon)

 

In Stock as of 9 June 2013:

American Classic II, 45acp, blue carbon steel, made in the Philippines, tight and well made. Excellent price. $435 + tax $29 = $464 cash.   Live out of state? $435 + $30 s/h/i to a local dealer near you. Only one to sell.  In stock            My Pictures Here.  My 2 cents: Fit and finish is better and tighter than Ruger's made in USA 1911. (out of the box new.......after 5000 rounds who knows. I have no dog in the fight)
 

In Stock as of 9 June 2013:

Ruger LCP's:  Model 03716 Coyote-2, Model 03721 LCP Zombie Slayer and the silver slide 1 of 1500.

All my LCP's are special editions and the same price. $399 + tax if you are a local customer.....if you are out of state $399 + $30 s/h/i .

We search high and low for New In Box Colt 1911's. We only buy from Colt distributors. Colt 1911's are now even harder to get. (Marines contract) Bold Font = Instock  Sold Out means Sold Out - We have no idea when or if more will show. This website helps to eliminate calls for sold out firearms I do not have. (Rather that take down sold out models, it is easier for me just to change status. No shopping cart on this site.)
NIB - Best Offer over $Xxxx SOLD!
Colt 01911ANVIII  NEW MODEL  $Xxxx 12  8  4 Sold Out  White Box Collector - Love the classic rollmarks- series 70 internals....Update: After looking at the fit and finish, I added this model to my personal DEALER DEMO collection.  If you can find a gun store with this model you need to look at it in person. This is by far the best 1911 Colt reproduction they have ever made. I fired 14 rounds out of mine. From 185 grain to 230 grain, wad, hollow point and ball. Zero malfunctions. Group was very tight. Marked "United States Property."  My guess is that Colt is using new machinery to build this model. The tolerances are tighter and the steel is better than the one they built 100 years ago. Fantastic gift to keep in your family.  I carry my Colt 01911ANVIII in a Bianchi Pro 100 leather holster.              Bob Kotula      Only One Available New In Box w/ all paperwork..SOLD OUT....Best offer over $Xxxx, by EMAIL ONLY OzarkGuns@yahoo.com for the next 4 weeks....no phone calls  Sold!  Thank You!  Matt T. in IL
 
Always nice to have military friends stop by.

All Colt Pistols that come in the white box are sure to appreciate more than the blue plastic boxes. Either way, Colt is an investment that could save your life.  The 1911 design is complex, not a newbie or newbie wife gun. A revolver from S&W is a better, safer choice. I like the S&W Airweight series and the new S&W Bodyguard series. Side note: Ruger's new LCR has a better trigger than S&W Centennial models hands down!

Happy Ozark Customers 1   2   Happy Weatherby Customer   

Sammie, my service dog (service dog can mean about anything) was a gift after my last Afghanistan tour. She was pre trained and can do a wide range of multiple tasks. She is a 91# Lacquer Black Alpha, Female, German Shepherd. We are best buddies! (She works the gun shop, please do NOT let your pet out of the car.)
Outbound Shipping for local customers: is $25 over actual expenses. Reason: Takes way more time than filling out a 4473. This will give you more flexibility on the speed and the amount of insurance you want. The $25 helps keep the lights on and property taxes paid. Packing materials: Boxes, air bags, fish and tape are FREE.
Loyal Customer.  Joshua D.
All my guns are NEW IN BOX W/PAPERWORK. How they come from the factory is how we sell them.  If you have a problem it goes back to the maker and NOT Ozark Guns. Rarely will you have a problem with a new firearm. We do not sell used firearms. We will not modify a firearm for you. Some sellers will put night sights on, etc. We only sell new in the box exactly the way they come from the factory.

Hot News:  Marines Pick Colt for New Pistol
"It was performance based. . . . We picked the best-performing pistol," said Charles Clark III, who oversees infantry weapons requirements at the Corps' Combat Development and Integration office in Quantico, Va. "There were three candidates that made the final round of consideration," but Clark would not discuss the competitors.

In addition to Colt, Springfield Armory's Full Size MC Operator and Smith & Wesson's 1911 design were also contenders, sources tell Military.com.

Marine testers placed a high priority on accuracy. The winner had to be capable of putting five-shot groups on target that "didn't exceed four inches by four inches at 25 yards" from an unsupported firing position, Clark said. Reliability and magazine life were other important factors in the decision.  Read more here Military.com 

------------------------------- Being a 1911 guy, this is my take on the above Hot News  ----------------------------------------------------

Personally, I would have bought a minimum of 10 samples of each model 1911 from 10 different distributors. I would use a Ransom Rest http://www.ransomrest.com  for the initial test. Only then would I continue testing the best the way the article says. And the part about magazine life?!  Most gun makers have a magazine company make mags for them and have them stamp the gun maker's company on the bottom. The Marines have an awesome shooting team in Quantico, Virginia.  I hope they had an input on how to test a 1911.   Maybe it was just a poorly written article by a non-shooter.                                                                                                                  

Being a Colt fan I'm happy with the outcome. Bob Kotula     Picture of a Ransom Rest

WE HAVE NEVER CHARGED EXTRA FOR CREDIT CARDS/ Transfers have always been $15 cash only
Our favorite local customers pay with CASH.   CASH IS KING ON THE HILL.  With sales tax: round up or down. We don't want or give coins.  If you are local with a track record, personal check is great.  If you are out of state Visa or MasterCard is fine.  Being a merchant I get hit for 2.5%-3.5% for cc's. Just a cost of doing business out of state.

Excellent customers. Father and son.
We ONLY SELL NEW IN BOX (NIB) WITH ALL PAPERWORK - Most firearms are test fired at the factory for reliability and the mandatory spent shell. Some companies do a clean up job before boxed. Others will just box them up.  Either way, all firearms we sell are brand new. We do not take trades because we are NIB only. Bud's likes to do both and they like to wheel and deal.

We never sell used guns. Life of a new gun: Made at factory, test fired, one of the spent cases is saved, shipped to one of many firearms distributors, shipped to Ozark Guns, boxed opened and inspected by us, possibly used for website pictures, stored in one of our bank safes, customer buys, we package, insure and ship to a FFL dealer near you. Your FFL dealer transfers firearm to you with State and Federal paperwork. You pay your dealer a transfer fee and NO TAX.

Please Note: Your dealer can charge any amount they want. Do your homework and find out your dealer's fees BEFORE you order with us. This way you know we are saving you money. Have your dealer fax or email their FFL license, 704-824-3695. By law we have to ship to a dealer near you. The process is painless 99.9% of the time and a great way to save money.

The internet is full of good info for buying online. Just Google it.

There are 4 ways to pay at Ozark Guns. 1. MasterCard   2. Visa   3. Bank Check   4. Cash - And a 5th option for local customers with a good track record with Ozark Guns:  Personal Check........History shows good gun owners do not write bad checks.   In the used car business it is a different story, we do not take personal checks..........CASH ONLY.

Dan Wesson is a fantastic firearm company. Owned by CZ. They fall in the production category HOWEVER if you look closely many parts are hand fitted. At $1599 you are getting more than you are paying for.  Ozark Guns: love the flat top slide. Adds class. Very tight fitting 1911.   If you don't know Dan Wesson, do your homework.  The internet is full of the happy customers.  As always, we want your business!  Bob Kotula

IMPORTANT:

Local customers: the best way to save the most amount of money buying a new firearm is to use a discounter from any state other than North Carolina. Pay only the $15 transfer fee and NO sales tax. Each lower/frame with a serial number is $15. 4 receivers=$60 cash      No discounts.

 

Question often asked: how does Colt stack up with Dan Wesson.  First of all Dan Wesson costs more. When Dan Wesson first offered 1911's they were grossly UNDERPRICED. They make less pistols and they have more hand fitting.  Anytime labor time goes up, so does the price of the 1911. The 1911 design is a very complex pistol. Lots of parts. Everything has to function as a team.  One bad part will cause problems.

 

Both Colt and Dan Wesson are firearms you can be proud to own and pass down to friends and family. I own both.  You are buying an appreciating investment that could save your life. Win-Win.

 

Happy FFL transfer customers

Buying Tip: There are plenty of polymer pistols on the market. Some are very simple and very reliable. They make for good self defense guns and LE guns.  Don't get sucked into the thinking if brand A is good than brand B is bad.  You see tons of this type thinking on the net.  In reality, both guns will get the job done.   I own lightweight polymer pistols. (Steyr is my favorite.) They work fine and prices are more affordable than a quality/custom built 1911. Polymer is easy to work with and far more inexpensive than Scandium, or aircraft grade alloy.

REMEMBER: SHOT PLACEMENT IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT in a self protections situation. A 22 will kill you just as dead as a 44 magnum.  Bob Kotula - Owner of Ozark guns. Same location since 1999. Same transfer price since 1999. Only $15 cash. We want your business and look forward seeing old customers and meeting new customers.

 

Please Note: I live 3 miles from the shop. After hours, I can meet you at the shop. Bob Kotula cel  704.813.3539

I doubt any other gun shop will open the store after hours, give you a FREE drink and then only charge $15 for the transfer. We have the market cornered with this kind of service. Try calling another shop on a closed day and see if they will open up just for you. I will if I can. Call me.

Along with guns, I'm a Rolex and Sinn watch guy.  Current collection: Daytona Panda, Blue dial Submariner, Polar Explorer, and the new model GMT II 2 tone, Sinn 656.  3 two tones and two ss.  The gold/ss make for better pictures.  All my watches have a story to tell. All have combat time on them.  All are mechanical. No batteries! No safe queens!  Each one was bought at a certain significant event in my life.

 

None of the above are for sale. Heirlooms for future generations.  Eye candy for some and excess for others. Rolex sport watches appreciate every year. Unless you beat it up or get run over by the train, you will never lose money. Marco Deillon from Sumpter's Jewelry in Charlotte, NC is my watch maker. Factory trained.  Same location for over 20 years. For servicing or complete rebuilds, Marco is tops. Throw my name out and it could save you money. They usually have a great selection of pre-owned Rolex.

Warning: Do not come into my shop wearing a fake/replica Rolex. You are supporting terrorism and will be going home without your $15 transfer.  Bob Kotula - Business Owner & Property Owner - Same location since 1992

Adults do not wear fake anything. Patent infringement is illegal and demonstrates poor judgment.
