Company Information

We’re an American Firearms Auction with a Global Reach

Located in the very center of American Gun Manufacturing: The very best guns are and have been made within a few minutes of our auction facility in Connecticut: Colt, Winchester, New Haven, Ruger, Marlin, and Smith and Wesson in Springfield Massachusetts. This gives CT Firearms a unique position in the marketplace

We sell antique guns and modern firearms

Our Process: We evaluate and inspect the guns you would like to sell at auction. We prepare and sign a detailed contract with clear terms.  The firearms collection is tagged, photographed, cataloged and presented to the largest possible group of buyers through print media, internet, mail, and phone marketing. The guns are then sold at live and online auction and payment is collected. We ship the guns to properly licensed dealers and collectors. Once the auction is over, we provide a full report of all sales, and payment less commission within 30 business days.

We’re committed to gun safety: All members of our staff are trained to safely handle and transport, and properly display firearms throughout the sales process.

Security and storage: Our facility supports multiple long gun and hand gun vaults with the capacity for thousands of guns. We utilized modern alarm and camera systems, and all of our employees undergo background checks.

Connecticut firearms offers Probate, Estate and Insurance Appraisals for Antique and Modern Gun collections. Free Verbal appraisals by appointment, just call for more information.

Shipping: All shipping of firearms is done in-house. We carefully pack guns using custom boxes and packing material. Everything ships insured, tracked and signed for by an adult. All transfers follow Federal and local firearms laws for transfer and guns are only shipped to eligible buyers or Federal dealers.

We buy used guns and estate firearm collections

Some of our clients prefer an accurate and simple liquidation of their guns. We are happy to make a clear and fair offer to purchase your gun collection outright. We can evaluate the firearms, create an inventory, and provide you with an immediate offer.

The classic, great guns of history are becoming harder to find – unless you know where to look. Inexpensive, low-quality firearms flood the shelves of gun stores, but they don’t make’em like they use to. Tom Selmont and Ryan Brechlin opened CT Firearms Auction in 2017 to offer a new solution for collectors, enthusiasts, and owners to buy and sell old, great guns. Today, CT Firearms Auction is the premier gun auction in Connecticut.​
