Job description

Firearms Manager "Chief Gunner" - Nashville, TN
Ball and Buck is opening its newest retail store in Nashville - a full expression of the brand, with two standout additions: a world-class barbershop and a discreet firearms room stocked with a tightly curated selection of premium modern and high-end vintage luxury firearms. We're looking for a Firearms Manager - our Chief Gunner - to own that room. This is the person who guides guests to the right firearm, runs every sale with precision and full compliance, and keeps the room buttoned up from open to close - all while championing the broader store and the full Ball and Buck lineup. It's a role for someone who knows firearms, respects the responsibility that comes with selling them, treats the record-keeping as seriously as the product, and understands the firearms room is one special part of a great retail experience.
What you'll do

  • Lead the firearms department day to day and set the standard for the guest experience at the counter
  • Guide guests through the selection of firearms and gear, sharing real knowledge of fit, function, and use
  • Become an expert in the full Ball and Buck lineup
  • Work in tandem with the sales team to drive the store's overall sales, pairing each firearms purchase with the apparel and gear that complement it
  • Run every sale in full compliance with federal and Tennessee law - complete ATF Form 4473, initiate TBI/TICS background checks, and verify eligibility before any transfer
  • Own the Acquisition & Disposition bound book and all required records with exacting accuracy
  • Manage firearms inventory, intake, and reorders in coordination with the home office
  • Educate guests on safe handling, storage, and care
  • Keep the firearms area secure and standards-compliant through every shift
  • Stay current on ATF and TBI requirements as they change
  • Perform basic gunsmithing - cleaning, adjustments, accessory installs, and minor repairs
What you bring
  • 21 or older, and eligible to possess firearms under federal and Tennessee law (must pass a background check)
  • Experience in firearms retail, with working knowledge of ATF compliance - Form 4473, NICS/TICS, and bound-book recordkeeping
  • Leadership instincts and the discipline to hold a high standard
  • Deep familiarity with firearms across categories
  • A genuine interest in the full Ball and Buck product line and a knack for connecting it to what guests need
  • Sharp attention to detail and a meticulous approach to documentation
  • Gunsmithing or armorer experience a strong plus
The details
  • Part-time position
  • On-target compensation: Hourly, DOE
  • A role with real responsibility and the chance to build Ball and Buck's firearms business in Nashville from day one
