    Looking to sell collection of hunting rifles/shotguns

    A friend of mine who is not on Calguns inherited some a variety of rifles and shotguns from a couple of relatives who passed away. He is primarily a hunter but doesn't need this many rifles and shotguns. He's looking for an FFL who might be interested in purchasing all or most of them in a single transaction. Another option is that he would like to get a higher end rifle and shotgun and use these for trade-in.

    He's not on Calguns and doesn't want to sell them PPT one at a time. He can always go the consignment route which is an option as well. Here's the information he sent me.
    - Weatherby Vanguard 30.06 with a Nikon Scope (this is the synthetic stock with the stainless looking barrel on it)

    - Remington 700 30.06 with a leopold scope on it (this is the synthetic stock with the matt black barrel)

    - Remington 721 (i think that is the model) 30.06 with a Quigly - Ford Scope on it

    - Sears Special (not sure the model, but I think my dad bought this in the late 70's/early 80's) 30.06 with a Bushnell scope

    - Remington 721 .270 Winchester with a Bushnell scope

    - Ruger (not sure of the model, but it is a clean wood stock - bolt action) 6MM with a buris scope

    - Remington Model 11 (probably 110+ years old) 12 gauge that was my primary bird gun

    - Remington Wingmaster 12 gauge that looks like new

    He lives in Riverside County but would be willing to travel throughout So Cal if that what it takes to get rid of them.

    Just to be clear, he's not looking for anyone to tell him the value or buy them sight-unseen. He really would like to talk to an FFL who might be interested so he doesn't have to go gun store by gun store.

    I appreciate any help you can provide or any suggestions.

    Here's my 2 cents....

    It shouldn't be hard to find a gun store to take them all, since they will offer around 50% (or less) of what they are worth.
    Or they will take them on consignment for a 30% commission.

    He should call Mt. McCoy Auctions (used to be part of Lock, Stock and Barrell Investments) in Simi Valley and have a conversation with them.
    They will take them all on consignment (make an appointment) and charge 25% commission.
    They put the guns on gunbroker and have quite a following, they will get the most for them (whatever the market determines).



    After dropping the guns off, stop at Green Acres and have some great barbeque.
