Our Boldest Step Yet

The industry is changing. After 30 years in business, we should know – we’ve led it almost every step of the way. Now we take our boldest step yet, one of an unprecedented investment in the dignified field of fine arms collecting.

We believe in this pursuit and we believe in our business. We’ve watched first-hand the values of fine arms climb year after year and that’s why we’ve constructed what will be the premier international venue to buy and sell collector grade firearms.

Simply put, our new Bedford, Texas venue will elevate gun collecting, giving these arms a worthy setting for their history, their artistry, and their legacy. It is a realization of a 30-year dream, and yet such a destination for fine arms is long overdue.

It will be the finest brick and mortar auction facility in the United States, 90,000 square feet filled with cutting edge technology, relentless hospitality, and meticulous presentation. The new world selling headquarters for arms collectors of all disciplines will host auctions, accommodate lectures, display world-class firearms, and advance the world of gun collecting to new and exciting heights.

At Rock Island Auction, we use the phrase, “History Lives Here,” and now, so does the future.
