Florissant

10 Rifles and a Ruger .44 Magnum in a Safe Tucked in a Closet

Sometimes the most unassuming homes hold the biggest surprises. We recently got a call from our friends at Saint Louis Estate Buyers about a family in Florissant working through the estate of an uncle who had been an avid hunter.

Tucked away in a closet safe, we found a collection of ten rifles alongside a Ruger .44 Magnum Redhawk. The mix spoke to a lifetime of hunting seasons, range days, and careful collecting:

• Ruger .44 Mag Carbine Rifle

• Marlin Lever Actions in .410, .22LR, and .357 Mag

• A solid Remington 700 ready for the next deer season

• Plus several other well-kept hunting rifles

Despite the quality of the collection, none of the surviving relatives had an interest in keeping the firearms. Like many families we work with, they wanted the process handled legally, safely, and with respect for their uncle’s legacy.

That’s where MDRF Enterprises came in. We provided:

• Secure removal and transport of the firearms

• Professional appraisal of condition and market value

• Confidential purchase so the family could focus on closing the estate without complications
