Federally Licensed Auctioneer | Compliant Firearms & Tactical Asset Liquidation
Inherited Firearms?
We're Here to Help.
If you've inherited firearms after the loss of a loved one, you're probably dealing with more questions than answers. You may not know what the collection is worth, what you're allowed to do with it, or where to even begin. That's completely understandable.
Every year, Burgess Auctions works with widows, executors, trustees, and families facing this same situation. We'll help you understand your options, explain the process in plain language, and handle everything with care, professionalism, and respect. When the time is right, we can also help you sell firearms safely and legally through our licensed firearms division.
Consignment Deadline: June 30, 2026Why Our Federal Firearms License Matters
Burgess Auctions is a federally licensed firearms dealer (FFL). For families, that means you don't have to worry about understanding firearm laws or handling the transfer process on your own. We follow all federal and state requirements for receiving, transferring, and selling firearms, so you can have confidence that everything is handled safely, legally, and professionally.
