Buying in DeWitt and Clinton County

Clinton County sits on Lansing's northern edge and holds 25 licensed dealers, ten of them manufacturers.

A commuter county with a farming spine, which produces two kinds of collection: guns bought new from Lansing shops by people who worked in town, and older family guns that never left the townships. Ten manufacturers in nine towns is more bench work than the population suggests, and it means custom rifles turn up here regularly.

Worth knowing before anybody opens a cabinet in Clinton County: 10 of its 25 licenses are manufacturing licenses, close to half. That puts gunsmith and custom work into local estates at a rate most counties never see, and a rifle somebody built is valued differently from one a factory made.

There is not one pawnbroker licensed in the county. Firearms change hands through dealers and between people who know each other, which tends to mean collections arrive intact rather than picked over.

What collections look like around here

The Lansing, Jackson and Ann Arbor corridor mixes university towns with old industrial and farming communities, and the collections split the same way. Jackson County holds 45 licensed dealers and Washtenaw 37. There’s a lot of inherited material here that arrived from somewhere else in Michigan as families moved for work, which makes for unusually varied estates.

Estates in Clinton County

Estates along this corridor often contain guns from several different parts of the state at once, which is exactly the situation where a blanket offer costs a family money. It’s worth having each piece looked at instead of the collection weighed as a lot.

We also cover St. Johns, Bath, Ovid, Portland, Eagle and Elsie — and the rest of Michigan besides. If you have something worth looking at, distance is our problem, not yours.

Is this the same trip as Lansing?

Yes. DeWitt, St. Johns, Bath and Ovid are all inside the Lansing run, and we would rather see everything in one visit than split it across two.

One thing worth knowing before anyone looks at it, wherever you are: don’t clean it. A polished or re-blued gun can be worth a fraction of an untouched one, and it can’t be undone.
