Statewide
We buy guns everywhere in Michigan.
All 83 counties, from the Indiana line to the Upper Peninsula — and across the Great Lakes region for a collection worth the drive. Where you’re is our problem to solve, not a reason to rule yourself out.
Where we buy
Not on the list? It makes no difference — we buy in every county in Michigan. These are simply the larger markets.
And outside Michigan
Michigan is where we’re licensed and where most of the work is, but the state line isn’t the edge of the map. Each of these has its own page covering how we reach it and what collections there tend to hold.

Why we cover the whole state
Because collections don’t respect county lines and neither do estates. A family settling a parent's affairs in one part of Michigan often finds the guns are at a cottage somewhere else entirely, and the person handling it often lives in a third place. Drawing a radius on a map and refusing anything outside it would mean turning down most of the work worth doing.
So the honest answer to "do you come out this far" is usually yes, and it isn’t a question to worry about before making contact — that goes for the neighboring states as well as the far side of Michigan. Tell us what you have and where it is, and the logistics are our problem to solve instead of a hurdle you have to clear first.
Michigan has 83 counties and we buy in all of them. The point of the chart is that they aren’t alike — where the dealers are tells you where the guns have been changing hands for decades.
What that spread actually means
The federal license list is public, and read closely it describes a state with very different firearms cultures in it. Oakland County holds 202 licensed dealers, Macomb 176 and Wayne 130 — but what stands out is how many of those aremanufacturers rather than shops: 53 in Macomb alone, a legacy of the tooling trade that shows up as custom and precision work in private collections.
West Michigan is different again. Kent County holds 129 licenses and Ottawa 76, concentrated around a lakeshore hunting tradition that produces better sporting shotguns than anywhere else in the state. Genesee County has fourteen licensed pawnbrokers, one of the highest counts in Michigan, which means guns there have often changed hands repeatedly and condition varies enormously.
None of that’s trivia. It’s why an estate in Macomb and an estate in Barry County need to be approached differently, and why a single flat offer against a collection sight-unseen is usually wrong in one direction or the other.
How it works, wherever you are
Tell us roughly what you have. We’ll come back to you the way you asked — call, text or email — and arrange to look at it. For a collection or an estate we come to the house, identify every firearm, and give you a written list with a value against each one. You’re free to take that and do something else with it.
Nothing is advertised, listed or made public. For most families that’s the part that matters.
Tell us what you have
Anywhere in Michigan and across the Great Lakes region. Tell us what you have and we’ll tell you what we’ll pay. Nothing you tell us goes anywhere else.
