You may need a professional appraisal for the guns if the person who left them to you did not have a will, a trust, or any other estate documents that say who should get them. The value of guns can change a lot depending on how they look, how rare they are, and what changes have been made to them. You may not get the right value if you just look for a similar gun online.
Angry Lion Firearms can come to your location take an inventory of your collection and help you determine their worth. We will sell them for as much money as we can to help you get the most for your collection. We can also help you move the Safes.
Angry Lion Firearms will treat your loved ones’ guns with respect and integrity. We will help you transfer them to a relative or sell them for a good price, so you don’t have to worry about being cheated and taken advantage of.
The best way to transfer the Firearms to someone else or sell them after you know their value is to work with a person or a business that has an FFL license. This is a special license that lets them handle the guns legally. They can do things like check the background of the buyer or the heir, register the guns, or make a bill of sale. If you don’t want to use someone with an FFL license, you should at least get a paper from the person who gets the gun that says they are allowed to have a gun by the state and federal laws. The paper should be signed and stamped by a notary. We have the ability to help you get this resolved legally and with the care you deserve.

Appraisal Costs:
During our initial phone call or visit (free of charge) we take the time to get your questions answered and consult with you or your representative so you feel comfortable with our process. Once we are all on the same page, we will schedule your appraisal. We charge $100 per scheduled appraisal appointment and $25.00 per firearm. Normally we request the firearms are brought to our location in Menifee, however for large estates we can travel to your home or other storage location. There may be an additional fee for this service. Please contact us below to schedule an appraisal.
Beyond safely storing and transferring the firearms it is important to remember that even though you or another family member is nominated in your loved one’s estate planning documents to handle the deceased’s final affairs, it may still be illegal for you to take possession ofthose firearms—even to transfer them to someone with an FFL. Federal law restricts certain individuals from possessing a firearm in any situation, even if that person is acting as a fiduciary of an estate or trust that owns firearms. Under federal law, prohibited persons include anyone who:
● Has been convicted by any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year;
● Is a fugitive from justice;
● Is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance (including marijuana, even if it is legal in your state);
● Has been adjudicated as being mentally defective or committed to any mental institution;
● Is an illegal alien;
● Has been dishonorably discharged from the Armed Forces;
● Has renounced US citizenship;
● Is subject to a court order restraining the person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner or a child of an intimate partner; or
● Has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.
In some cases, state laws can be even more restrictive than the federal law described above. Contact an attorney who is an expert in not only federal laws but also your state’s laws regarding possession and transfer of firearms. If your deceased loved one named someone to be in charge of the firearms, or to ultimately inherit them, the named person must be able to qualify to possess a firearm under both federal and state laws. If an executor or trustee takes possession of or transfers firearms to someone who is not legally permitted to possess them, stiff penalties may apply, including up to ten years’ imprisonment.Once you have determined who can lawfully possess your loved one’s firearms, look to any existing estate documents to determine to whom they should be distributed. Arrangements can then be made to deliver those specific firearms to the individuals named to receive them. gun appraisal & valuation firearms estate sales
