Downsizing: Mossberg Shotguns and a Knight Black Powder Rifle Find a New Home

When families in Saint Louis face major life transitions, firearms are often part of the conversation. That was the case for one Brentwood family this week. Their father was moving into assisted living, and while some items were earmarked for children and grandchildren, the firearms presented a different challenge.

The daughter, not interested in keeping the guns, turned to Google. She searched for “best place to sell guns in Saint Louis” and came across MDRF Enterprises, first in a Reddit thread and then in the search results. Within a day, she was at our shop with her father’s collection.

The Firearms Brought In

This particular collection included three Mossberg shotguns and one black powder rifle:

• Mossberg 835

• Mossberg 9200

• Mossberg 500

• Knight .45 caliber black powder rifle

Each firearm was carefully inspected and appraised using certified standards.

The Process

Our approach was simple:

1. Fair Appraisal — Each firearm was evaluated for condition, market value, and resale demand.

2. Cash Offer — The daughter received an on-the-spot cash offer, backed by documentation.

3. Legal Transfer — Every firearm was logged into our Acquisition & Disposition records, ensuring full ATF compliance.

The family appreciated that the process was discreet, professional, and respectful. Most importantly, the daughter left knowing the firearms were handled legally and responsibly.
