Arms & Accessories Day Firearms Auction #2059
The newest of RIAC's auction formats, the A&A Day Auctions have skyrocketed in popularity since their introduction and are being scheduled with increasing frequency. Different from typical timed “online auctions,” these events utilize a live stream of our licensed auctioneers to conduct the auction. With the exception of a live audience and physical catalog, it is exactly like our other auctions.
Sporting & Collector Firearms Auction #1040
Our Sporting & Collector Firearms Auctions are made up of affordable antiques, beginning collector’s items, usable sporting arms, and many non-firearm lots. Their origins lie in the demand for “everyday collector” guns. These exciting sales have grown continually in size over the years and can house more than 10,000 firearms.
