When handing estate collections, we are cash buyers of your pre-1899 cartridge guns and then we help make arrangements through three trusted auction houses to handle the sales of your remaining muzzleloading antiques and any modern (1899 and later) guns. We will travel to buy large estate collections of pre-1899 cartridge guns. We will also consider some trades on our antiques, with some key provisos:Ģ.) We generally don’t trade our handguns for your long guns.ģ.) We don’t trade our original guns for your altered guns.Ĥ.) We don’t buy or trade for muzzleloaders or cap & ball guns. But of course any modern (post-1898) guns or receivers would have to be transferred to you through your local FFL. We have a few modern guns that we will consider trading for antique cartridge guns. If you’d prefer, we can pay you in silver. Our offers of course depend on the quality of what you are selling. And we will buy guns that have been sporterized, but only if they have nice bores, and the sporterizeing was done nicely. We even buy some incomplete guns (stripped actions or barreled actions). This makes us eager buyers of pre-1899 rifles, pistols, and shotguns.
At Elk Creek Company, we have to constantly replenish our inventory.
