Frequently Asked Questions

How can I find custom firearms for a low price?

Actively monitor the used firearm market daily. By checking for just a few minutes each day, you can significantly increase your chances of finding custom-built firearms, like heavily modified Glocks, for a fraction of their original cost. These deals often appear when sellers don't understand the value of aftermarket parts.

Why do many 'GunTubers' only promote new firearms?

Many firearm channels promote new releases because they have partnerships and sponsorships with manufacturers. Their business model often relies on getting viewers to purchase new products from these companies, rather than exploring the value and performance available in the used custom firearm market.

What kind of value can you get from a used custom Glock?

You can find heavily customized Glocks with high-end aftermarket parts like custom slides, barrels, triggers, and magwells for prices significantly lower than buying new. For example, a Glock 34 with a Timney trigger and custom slide was acquired for around $150-$200, offering substantial savings.

Is it better to buy new or used custom firearms?

For maximizing value and performance per dollar, buying used custom firearms is often superior. You can acquire firearms with premium aftermarket components already installed, saving you the cost and effort of purchasing and installing them yourself. This approach bypasses the depreciation that occurs when selling firearms with modifications.
