Full description and what we offer
Federal Way Discount Guns has operated continuously since opening 32 years ago, serving the Greater Seattle and Tacoma area. Important: This business is NOT affiliated with any other "Discount Guns" location.
The business operates as both a retail firearms store and an indoor shooting range.
Buying, selling, and trading firearms is the core retail operation:
- •Buy firearms outright
- •Sell from existing inventory
- •Trade firearms for credit
- •Special orders available at 10% over cost
- •Consignment firearms accepted (10% commission or $50 minimum)
They also offer gunsmith services on site. A master craftsman has been with Federal Way Discount Guns for the full 32 years the business has been open. The gunsmith works Thursday through Saturday, noon to 6pm, and handles:
- •Slide cuts and optic mounting
- •Cerakote finishing in multiple colors and camo patterns
- •General firearms repair and modification
- •Custom work (call for specific requests)
Firearm transfers from online purchases or other dealers cost $50 per firearm. NFA items like silencers have a $150 transfer fee, though the shop often stocks silencers in-house to save customers on transfer costs.
