About MDRF Enterprises | Estate Firearm Appraisals and Collection Resolution in Saint Louis
Why MDRF Enterprises Exists
MDRF Enterprises LLC is a Saint Louis, Missouri-based federally licensed firearms services firm specializing in certified firearm appraisals, estate firearms, inherited firearm collections, probate support, legal firearm transfers, and collection liquidation.
Founded in 2012, MDRF works with families, executors, trustees, attorneys, fiduciaries, collectors, and estate buyers who require professional assistance documenting, valuing, transferring, or resolving firearm assets.
Most people who contact MDRF are navigating a significant life transition. A parent has passed away. A family home is being downsized. An executor is trying to close an estate responsibly. A collector is preparing for retirement. Firearms are rarely the only assets involved, but they are often among the most complex and least understood.
Unlike a traditional retail gun store, MDRF focuses on firearm valuation, documentation, compliance, and estate firearm services throughout Missouri.
Our mission is simple: help families and professionals identify, evaluate, document, transfer, and resolve firearm collections through lawful and professionally documented processes.
Who We Serve
MDRF Enterprises regularly assists:
-
Trustees and trust officers
-
Probate and estate attorneys
-

Whether the goal is valuation, documentation, transfer, retention, or liquidation, MDRF provides professional guidance tailored to the client's needs.
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 firearms services firm helping families, estate attorneys, fiduciaries, and collectors across Missouri identify, value, transfer, and resolve 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.
What Makes MDRF Different
Many firearm businesses focus on retail sales. MDRF focuses on firearm assets and the legal, valuation, and documentation issues that accompany them.
Our clients are often dealing with inherited firearms, estate administration, trust reporting, collection liquidation, divorce proceedings, or major life transitions where professional documentation and licensed handling are essential.
The combination of certified appraisal credentials, Federal Firearms Licensing, and estate-focused experience allows families and professionals to work with a single resource throughout the valuation and resolution process.
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
-
