Each one of us has a different taste for things, including firearms, which makes it hard to for us to pinpoint which model of firearm you should own.
One of the common reasons why people buy guns is for personal defense and protection. You can also experience the FRAS Next-Gen Protection with SAFE LIFE DEFENSE.
However, we have researched our database and found that many of our customers prefer specific types of guns.
We will separate them into four categories – the four different classes of firearms: concealable handguns, rifles, shotguns, and hunting rifles.
We will give you two examples of each so you can make a clear choice next time you think about adding to your collection.
Handguns
We chose the compact handgun as the number one choice on this list for many reasons. Most of us tend to carry our weapons around as much as possible.
The compact handgun is comfortable and very easy to use. Most people do not even notice it if you carry one around.
However, since we have a Winchester firearm consignment, we will only discuss antiques here. So let us present two of the models that are most popular with our clients through our auctions.

Winchester dubbed the “Rifleman’s Rifle” Model 70. But it is not the company that holds this gun in high regard- it has been a personal favorite of hunters and sport shooters since it was introduced back in 1936.
The original model had more of a Mauser-style extractor that ensured a reliable feed – a feature that is crucial to big game hunters.
It has a timeless design that is just as effective now, in the hands of deer hunters, as it was when it was first introduced to the market over 70 years ago.
