One gun or a whole safe
Not Sure What to Do With a Safe Full of Guns?
Maybe it is one gun you no longer shoot. Maybe a family member passed and left a safe full of firearms, and you have no idea what they are worth or how to move them legally.
The buyers you find online ask you to photograph each gun, box it up, and ship it to a stranger in another state. Then you wait to find out whether the offer was fair.
Bring them to our shop in Cumming instead, or ask about pickup for an estate collection. We appraise it, agree the number with you, and pay cash for the guns we buy. We buy from sellers across Forsyth County and north metro Atlanta.
What you get selling to us
- A cash offer from a national average appraisal, agreed with you before anything else happens.
- Trade value goes on your store account and works on anything in the store, suppressors included.
- Estate collections appraised as a whole, with an offer on the guns we can buy. Every firearm handled by the book.
- An appraisal in person, not a box in the mail.
How we put a number on your gun
Every appraisal starts from a national average, and nothing happens until you agree to the number.
-
The appraisal
Free, with no obligation, when you are looking to sell: a national average calculation, and a number agreed with you. An appraisal-only visit, with no plan to sell, may carry a fee depending on the time it takes.
-
Your options
Cash or trade. We also consign in some cases, so ask if that is what you want.
-
Trade credit
Goes on your store account and works on any item in the store, suppressors included.
-
What to bring
A photo ID, plus the original box, magazines and accessories if you have them.
-
Estate collections
Settling an estate? Email a list of the firearms to info@lakesidemunitions.com. We'll assess the collection and determine the best course of action. The seller can bring the firearms to our store or we can travel to locations in the Southeast. Our goal is to help the seller understand the value of the collection, including the guns they decide to keep. We will make an offer on the guns we can buy and pay cash. We may not buy every gun in a collection.

The guys over at lakeside are knowledgeable, honest and all around enjoyable to interact with. In the countless times I've visited they've never once had a sour mood or been pushy about a sale. ...
