Why Gunslinger Auctions

What We Bring to the Table

Services

Auction Consignment

Single firearms, complete collections, and entire estates. We handle research, photography, cataloging, marketing, and shipping, with roughly 10,000 packages shipped per year. Drop off at either location and let the auction do the work. You get access to our established buyer base without dealing with listings, negotiations, or shipping logistics yourself. Contact us to discuss terms and current intake availability.

Firearms: The Core

Handguns, rifles, shotguns, and long guns of every configuration: new production, pre-owned, antique, and collectible. Off-roster California handguns, NFA-eligible items, and single-action revolvers are particular strengths. If it shoots, we can sell it.

Antique & Militaria

Pre-1899 antique firearms, Civil War and WWI/WWII military surplus, edged weapons of every era: swords, sabers, bayonets, daggers, spears, and knives. Historical militaria, uniforms, medals, and field gear. This is a specialty maintained since 1998 with deep collector market expertise.

Services

Firearms Appraisals

Written and verbal appraisals for antique, military, and modern collector firearms. Estate valuations, insurance appraisals, and pre-sale estimates. 125+ combined years of team experience. We've handled everything from single working guns to major private collections. If you need documentation for an estate, insurance carrier, or sale decision, call us before guessing at value online. Azusa: (626) 914-7010 • Orange: (714) 939-1172

Western & Cowboy Americana

Cowboy action competition guns, working and show saddles, custom leather holsters and tack, spurs, period riding gear, and Western-themed collectibles. Jeff Taverner is a two-time SASS World Champion; Western Americana is a house specialty, not a sideline.

Fine Art & Decoratives

Western fine art, wildlife art, original paintings, limited-edition prints, bronze sculpture, dioramas, and decorative collectibles. We have moved everything from signed oils to elaborate hand-built dioramas representing firearms history. If it appreciates, it can auction.

Estates & Full Collections

One firearm or 5,000; the process is the same. We photograph, catalog, research, market, and sell every piece. Estate deadlines are met. Nothing comes back. For large collections, we coordinate full transport and can travel to you anywhere in the country.

Services

FFL Transfers: By Appointment Only

We accept incoming FFL transfers at both locations. If you've purchased a firearm from another dealer or through an online sale and need it transferred through a licensed FFL, contact us before shipping to confirm current procedures. Azusa: (626) 914-7010 • Orange: (714) 939-1172

Appraisals & Valuations

Written and verbal appraisals for antique, military, and modern collector firearms. Estate, insurance, and pre-sale valuations backed by 125+ combined years of team experience. We have appeared as expert appraisers in national media; the background is real.

Firearms

Rifles

Bolt-action, lever-action, semi-automatic, and single-shot: hunting rifles, military surplus, and collector-grade arms across every era. Our inventory spans everything from working-grade field rifles to matching-numbers military pieces that belong in a display case. We see a lot through consignment. If you're looking for something specific, check the current auction catalog or call us. If you're selling, we'll give you an honest assessment of what it's worth and how it will do at auction.

Firearms

Shotguns

Pump, semi-auto, over/under, side-by-side, and single-barrel. Field guns, competition guns, and vintage American scatterguns. We see a lot of classic American and European doubles come through on consignment; it is worth checking the catalog before assuming we only carry modern production. If you're looking to sell a good double, we know the buyer base for them.

Firearms

Pistols & Revolvers

Semi-automatic pistols and revolvers of all eras. Single-action, double-action, pocket pistols, duty guns, and competition-grade handguns. SASS single-action revolvers are a specialty; Jeff Taverner is a two-time SASS World Champion, and that background shows in how we know and describe these guns. If you're looking for a quality SASS rig or have one to sell, you're in the right place.

Firearms

Black Powder & Muzzleloaders

Percussion revolvers, muzzleloading rifles, and flintlock arms. These typically do not require FFL transfer under federal law and can often ship directly to you, though classification depends on the specific firearm, and you should verify before assuming. Check individual listings for classification details. If you have questions about a specific piece, call us before bidding.

Firearms

Antique & Curio & Relic Firearms

Pre-1899 antiques and ATF-classified C&R firearms make up a significant part of what moves through our auctions. If you hold a Type 03 C&R license, you'll find plenty here worth watching. We flag C&R eligibility on every qualifying lot. If you're building a collection or looking to liquidate one, we know this market. Contact us to discuss consignment or to get an appraisal on what you have.

Firearms

Military Surplus & Historical Arms

Military rifles, pistols, and edged weapons spanning WWI through Vietnam and beyond. Matching-numbers examples, bring-backs, and demilled display pieces all come through on a regular basis. This is one of the strongest categories in our auctions. Serious collector interest translates to strong results. Estate collections in this category are especially welcome on consignment; contact us before deciding how to handle an inherited military collection.

Firearms

Magnum & Large-Caliber Firearms

Big-bore revolvers, magnum rifles, and specialty-caliber firearms for hunting and collection. We get a steady flow of high-powered revolvers and lever-actions chambered in the heavy calibers: .44 Mag, .454 Casull, .500 S&W, .45-70, and others. If you're hunting or collecting in the large-caliber space, check the current catalog. If you're selling, these typically do well at auction when properly described.

Firearms

Sporting & Competition Guns

SASS/CAS rigs, target pistols, trap and skeet guns, and action shooting platforms. We know this market well; if you're outfitting for a specific discipline, come in and talk before you buy. Jeff Taverner is a two-time SASS World Champion. That's not a marketing line; it means we understand what makes a good competition gun, what to look for in a used SASS rig, and what your setup is actually worth on the secondary market.

Ammunition & Accessories

Firearm Accessories

Holsters, slings, cases, grips, stocks, and related accessories, available both in-store at Azusa and through auction as part of estate lots. We don't maintain a deep accessories retail inventory, but the auction side moves a lot of gear as package lots. If you have a large accessories collection to move, consignment is often the most efficient path.

Collectibles & Militaria

Edged Weapons

Bayonets, fighting knives, swords, and daggers: military and civilian, domestic and foreign. A specialty we've maintained since 1998. If you're building a collection or looking to sell, we know the market and the buyer base for these pieces. Contact us to discuss consignment or to get an appraisal on what you have.

Collectibles & Militaria

Military Surplus & Militaria

Helmets, uniforms, insignia, medals, field gear, and historical military artifacts from multiple nations and eras. These lots draw serious collector interest at auction and sell well. Estate militaria collections are always welcome on consignment. If you've inherited a collection and aren't sure what you have or what it's worth, call us before making any decisions. Provenance matters in this category, and proper cataloging makes a real difference at auction.

Collectibles & Militaria

Jewelry & Precious Metals

Jewelry, coins, and precious metal items come through regularly as part of estate consignments. These lots are cataloged, photographed, and auctioned to a broad collector audience. If you're including jewelry or precious metals as part of a larger estate consignment, we handle it as part of the package. Contact us to discuss.

Collectibles & Militaria

Art & Collectibles

Artwork, Western Americana, and general collectibles are part of the auction mix. The inventory changes with every consignment; check the current catalog or sign up for auction notifications to stay current. If you have art or collectibles as part of an estate you're settling, contact us. We'll evaluate whether the material is a fit for our buyer base.
Know Your Options

Three Ways to Sell

Most sellers have already thought about their options before they call. Here’s an honest look at all three:

Sell to a Dealer

They’re going to lowball you. That’s not an insult; that’s just the nature of the beast. Same as taking a car to a car dealer. They buy things at what is known as cost. You can walk out with cash that day, but you’re going to be leaving money on the table.

Consign at a Gun Shop

Your best stuff is going to go right away. The rest of your stuff is going to sit there forever. A shop can only put your items in front of whoever happens to walk through the door that week; when nothing’s moving, they’re not exactly motivated to push it.

Auction Consignment

This is where it becomes a partnership. Your items reach a worldwide collector audience of buyers who know exactly what they’re looking at and are prepared to pay for it. The more you get, the more we get. That alignment doesn’t exist anywhere else.

In His Own Words

Why This Is a Partnership

That’s what makes this a partnership. When you consign with me, we become partners. I want to make you as much money as possible; the more money I make you, the more money I make me.

I’ve never turned anyone away. Not a single gun, not an estate of 150.

Jeff Taverner, Owner — Gunslinger Auctions

You can give me one firearm or 5,000 firearms. We will get them into the auction and we get them sold. There’s no tapbacks. Stuff doesn’t come back.

Jeff Taverner, Owner — Gunslinger Auctions

Give me ten guns. Three will sell for more than they’re worth. Three for exactly what they’re worth. Three a little less. But because the first three sold for more, it works out in the end. And one’s always going to be a wild card; you just never know.

Jeff Taverner, Owner — Gunslinger Auctions
The Process

How Auction Consignment Works

Gunslinger Auctions photographs, describes, securely stores, markets, and sells your firearms to a worldwide audience of buyers from across the country; hundreds pack the auction room on the day of the sale, with absentee and phone bids on top of that. Our commission comes from the final sale price. You pay nothing until your item sells. Call to discuss rates on high-value collections.

California Sellers

Off-Roster Guns Are Worth More Than You Think

California’s Handgun Roster keeps shrinking, and that scarcity drives real value at auction for off-roster handguns. Collectors know this. They bid accordingly; they’re willing to pay a premium for guns that can still legally transfer via private party through a licensed FFL.

Here’s how that works in practice: a California buyer purchases your off-roster handgun through us. It goes through a private party transfer; the buyer pays a $47 transfer fee, it takes about 15 minutes, and all they need is their ID. That’s it. The gun transfers legally, and the price reflects the scarcity. You benefit from a market that a shop window can never reach.

If you have off-roster handguns in your collection, call us before you do anything else. Don’t take $400 from a dealer for something a collector will pay $900 for at auction.

Need Cash Fast?

We Also Buy Direct

Sometimes you need the collection gone and you’re not interested in waiting on an auction cycle. We’ve heard every reason: estate deadlines, storage constraints, out-of-state executors closing a property. Gunslinger Auctions will make you a straight, competitive offer with no pressure and no games.

Worth knowing: when we buy a collection outright, it goes straight into auction; that’s how confident we are in the platform. The buyout is the right call when timing matters more than money. We’ll tell you that honestly, and we’ll tell you what the difference is.

We Come to You
