We Buy Guns
Fair market prices from a licensed FFL — not pawn-shop rates. Walk in, get a cash offer in minutes, or roll the value into a new firearm.
Skip the Pawn Shop.
We're a licensed FFL and full-time gunsmith, not a generalist resale counter. That means we appraise your firearm on its actual mechanical condition and current market value — not a quick glance and a lowball number.
Whether you're parting with one gun or an entire collection, we'll evaluate each piece fairly, pay competitive prices, and handle the paperwork end-to-end. Nothing leaves our shop with a question mark.
How It Works
Bring It In
Stop by our showroom at 912 Industrial Dr in Aurora. Bring the firearm, any accessories, original box, and paperwork if you have them. No appointment needed.
On-the-Spot Appraisal
Our gunsmith inspects the firearm — function, condition, bore, finish, aftermarket parts. We check current market value and make you a fair offer on the spot.
Cash or Trade Credit
Take the money in cash, or apply the full value as credit toward any new firearm in the shop. Trade-in credit often stretches further than straight cash.
