Instant Estate Firearm Buyouts: Certified Valuation, Immediate Cash, Zero Liability
Licensed Firearm Dealer in Saint Louis
Estate Appraisals, Legal Transfers, and Confidential Firearm Sales in Saint Louis
Firearms in Transition Require Professional Acquisition
Firearms are distinct from any other estate asset. When a life transition, such as a death, divorce, inheritance, or retirement move, introduces firearms into the equation, families and professionals face immediate legal and safety burdens. Handling these assets incorrectly creates significant financial and criminal exposure.
MDRF provides a "Clean Break" solution for Saint Louis families. We are not just appraisers; we are direct acquisition specialists. We identify the value, provide a certified appraisal for your legal records, and purchase the collection for cash on the spot. We remove the firearms, the paperwork, and the liability in a single visit.
We commonly help with:
-
Firearms in estates and probate matters
-
Firearms involved in divorce or separation
-
Firearms retained or sold after a death or inheritance
-
Downsizing collections before retirement or relocation
-
Guns discovered during cleanouts, rehabs, or property transitions
MDRF Enterprises is a licensed firearms professional service based in Saint Louis, Missouri. We are not a retail gun store. Our work focuses on certified estate firearm appraisals, legal documentation and fast cash liquidation for families, and estate professionals navigating life transitions such as estates, divorce, retirement, and property cleanouts. We provide clear explanations, accurate valuation, and lawful handling of firearms so clients can meet their legal responsibilities and move forward with confidence.

Core Solutions for Families & Fiduciaries
Direct Collection Buyouts
-
We specialize in the immediate purchase of firearm collections. Unlike auctions that take months to settle, MDRF provides a fair cash offer and pays the estate immediately. This is the preferred route for executors who want to close a probate file without the hassle of consignment.
Certified Appraisals for Probate & Divorce
-
If you need to document value for the court, the IRS (Form 706), or insurance, we provide USPAP-compliant written reports. Our dual-certified (CAGA/AGI) status ensures your documentation is legally unassailable.
Professional Estate Cleanouts
-
For attorneys and fiduciaries managing property rehabs or total cleanouts, we provide secure removal and NCIC verification. We ensure no "contraband" firearms are left in a home, protecting the estate from future liability.
Why Professionals Choose MDRF Over Auctions
-
Speed: We pay cash today. Auctions settle in 90-180 days.
-
Certainty: Our offer is net to you. No commission fees, no "buyer’s premiums," and no shipping costs.
-
Liability: Once we purchase the firearms, the legal responsibility transfers to our FFL immediately.
Our services reduce liability, ensure full compliance, and protect your clients and your organization, even when estates contain NFA firearms that require special handling.
