Buying in Oscoda and Iosco County
Iosco County holds 18 licensed dealers along the Lake Huron shore and inland.
Sunrise-side country: a mix of year-round residents and cottage families, which produces two very different kinds of collection. The cottage guns sat in a closet for thirty years and are original but neglected; the local guns were carried every season and are honest but worn. Both are worth looking at, and they’re often in the same estate.
Roughly a quarter of Iosco County's 18 licenses — 5 of them — are manufacturing licenses. Collections here tend to include at least one gun that somebody worked on rather than bought, and those are the ones worth slowing down over.
No pawnbroker holds a license anywhere in the county. Guns here move dealer to dealer or hand to hand, and estates are correspondingly more complete than in places with a pawn counter on every other corner.
What collections look like around here
Northern Michigan collections are built around deer camp and the lakes. Grand Traverse County holds 31 licensed dealers serving a much wider area than its size suggests, because people drive for an hour up here without thinking about it. Expect rifles and shotguns that have been used hard and honestly, and the occasional very good gun bought in a better year.
Estates in Iosco County
Cottages and camps are where northern estates get interesting. Firearms left at a family place are often forgotten entirely for a decade or more, and they’re also the ones most likely to have suffered from damp storage. Both facts are worth knowing before anyone agrees a price.
We also cover Tawas City, East Tawas, Hale, Whittemore and National City — and the rest of Michigan besides. If you have something worth looking at, distance is our problem, not yours.
Some of it’s at the cottage and some at the house.
Normal on this side of the state, and worth telling us before we set off. We would rather plan one trip covering both than find half a collection an hour away at the end of the day.

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.
