Arms/Class III Trust

John was very friendly over the phone. We have not met in person although I'm sure it would be a great experience. He is an advocate for our 2nd ammendment right and efficiently expedited my trust to procure class III tax stamps from the BATFE. I would highly recommend him to anyone intersested in... this service. HIs price is very reasonable.

Fast turn around time.

I turned to Mr. Pierce for an NFA Trust. I called him up, he walked me through everything, answered all the questions that I had, and took time to explain everything to me and my wife. He was able to get all the info from me in that one call and the next day I had a NFA Trust set up and going.
