​

We purchase firearms including estate collections. We will buy it all! Cleaning out an estate property? We can help you make sure all firearms, ammo, knives, militaria, and other items are removed safely. Remember firearms and ammunition are regulated by the ATF don't just let and junk company take them away. They could fall into the wrong hands.

​

When we buy estate collections we will  purchase everything including:

Guns, Ammo, accessories, Knives, Militaria (Original helmets, bayonets, uniforms, swords, and much more), vintage hunting or fishing gear. We may purchase other old or antique items as well that are not firearms related.

 

See our Services Page.

 

Our knowledge is far greater than pawn shops or those that sell only modern firearms. We not only sell new firearms but we are also collectors as well. The owner has handled 10s of thousands of firearms and collectibles over the years. Handling all those items a person will gain a lot more knowledge than looking at pictures or reading books.

 

We will offer fair prices for any items purchased. Since we have a lower profit margin we can offer higher prices. Remember Auction companies charge 20% or more to the buyer and seller.  You will lose 20% and the buyer will not pay as much for an item due to the 20% or more buyer fee. We offer honesty and integrity though the whole process.

​

FREE firearms appraisals must be IN PERSON only we do not offer appraisals or estimated values by email or text. We must have the firearm in our hands. See the Free Appraisals Page.

 

Drop in or set an appointment. No appointment needed! Walk-Ins welcome! Up to 20 firearms without an appointment is no problem. We will work you in! FYI As with most businesses Monday and Friday are our busiest days.

 

Want us to purchase your firearms collection? Bring them in or we can come to you if needed. We will help you in any way possible. If you have a relative that passed away or has a sudden illness and you have no one to help contact us. Friends, Family, or Strangers may not be honest with you and give you a fair price for the items. I have had many come in the shop and brag about the deals they get from the little old lady down the road or relative that just lost a loved one.  They may carelessly sell them to anyone for a profit. See these pages for more info. Services or the Buy-Sell-Trade page
