About MDRF Enterprises | Estate Firearm Appraisals and Collection Resolution in Saint Louis

Why MDRF Enterprises Exists

Most people who contact MDRF Enterprises are navigating one of the most difficult weeks of their lives. A parent has passed away, a family home is being downsized, or an executor is trying to close an estate responsibly. Firearms are rarely the only assets involved, but they are often the most complicated.

MDRF Enterprises is a licensed professional service firm based in Saint Louis that specializes in identifying, valuing, and resolving firearm collections discovered during life transitions. Our work focuses on certified firearm appraisals, documented valuation reports, and the licensed acquisition of collections when families or executors decide to sell.

We are not a retail gun store. Our practice is designed to help families, collectors, and fiduciaries resolve firearm assets professionally, legally, and with clear documentation.

Our History

MDRF Enterprises was founded in 2012 by Drew McDermott to bring a higher standard of technical expertise and professionalism to the firearm industry.

Drew learned the trade from his mentor, Uncle Kenny Moore. Kenny believed that technical knowledge meant little without honesty and respect for the people you serve. That philosophy still defines the way MDRF operates today.

Over time, MDRF has grown into a specialized service firm helping families, estate attorneys, and fiduciaries across the Saint Louis region manage inherited firearm collections during estate transitions, downsizing, and property cleanouts.

Today, Drew’s son Declan is also part of the business, continuing the family tradition of providing reliable and ethical service to the communities we serve.

Our Professional Approach

Firearms are different from most estate assets. They are regulated property that often requires licensed handling, technical identification, and accurate valuation before decisions can be made.

MDRF Enterprises provides a clear process that helps families and fiduciaries move forward with confidence.

Our services focus on:

Private Consultations

• Confidential, one-on-one consultations conducted in our Saint Louis professional office or through scheduled on-site visits.

Licensed Firearm Handling

• All operations are conducted under our active Federal Firearms License (FFL) and Special Occupational Taxpayer (SOT) credentials.

Professional Documentation

• Certified appraisal reports and valuation documentation suitable for probate records, insurance documentation, and family asset distribution.

Licensed Acquisition of Firearm Collections

• When families or estates choose to sell, MDRF can acquire firearm collections directly through a licensed and documented process.

Our goal is simple: provide families and fiduciaries with a professional path to identify, evaluate, and resolve firearm collections responsibly.
