PLATFORM OPERATING MODEL ATHLETE-GUIDED WORKFLOW

How ArmsXchange Works: The Direct Concierge Protocol

Unlike generic classifieds or unmoderated peer-to-peer forums, ArmsXchange is an accountable, shooter-guided consultation platform. We deliberately reject automated shopping carts and anonymous checkout flows for precision match instruments.

STANDARDS MATRIX

Platform Verification Matrix

What ArmsXchange Explicitly Verifies:

  • Cylinder Timestamps: Explicit validation against ISSF 10-year expiration standards.
  • Authentic Macro Photography: True item photos documenting actual condition, never deceptive stock renders.

What Athletes Should Keep in Mind:

  • • Anatomical Sizing: Shooters must verify grip dimension (S/M/L, Right/Left) with our team before closing.
  • • Lawful Sporting Conduct: Handover protocols adhere strictly to Indian sporting target norms.
  • • GST Clarity: An additional 18% GST applies to non-renowned shooters on new weapons per statutory regulations.
