Cerakote mail-in service: read before you order
Lux Arms LLC is a federally licensed firearms business in Magnolia, Texas. This service is for refinishing firearms and parts that you own. We return your item only to you, at the address on your ID that you give us on this order.
What we accept: rifles, shotguns and handguns, and their parts, that are serialized as federal law requires. What we don't accept by mail: suppressors or suppressor parts, short-barreled rifles or shotguns, "any other weapons," machine guns or their parts, destructive devices, unserialized or privately made frames or receivers that lack a serial number, ammunition, and loaded magazines. We don't accept orders from or returns to some states (see the list at checkout).
Your state's laws apply. You are responsible for knowing whether you may lawfully own your item where you live and have it shipped back to you. We may refuse or hold any order to comply with federal, state or local law.
Shipping: ship your item unloaded, with no ammunition, using only the label and instructions we send you. Handguns and frames must use the overnight service on our label. An adult (21 or older) must sign for the return. We can't change the return address after you order. If anything changes, we can ship to a licensed dealer in your state instead, and that dealer may charge a transfer fee and run a background check.
Serial numbers: we mask serial numbers and required markings before coating, and we don't remove, cover or alter them. We can't work on, or return, any item with a missing or altered serial number.
Refusal and refunds: we may decline any order. If we decline before work starts, we refund your payment in full. If we receive an item we can't lawfully return, we won't return it, and we may be required to report it to law enforcement.
Turnaround is an estimate, not a guarantee. Carrier delays and parts or color availability can change it.
