An expungement basically means the charges and convictions are treated as if they didn't happen. Exact laws will vary depending on where you live, so get a lawyer to tell you exactly what happens, but it should mean you can ignore that charge for the purpose of buying firearms.
Actually, expungement means it is removed from your public record. Law enforcement agencies can still access the information, and it will sometimes (depending on the circumstances) cause a problem when purchasing a gun.
