You've got your favorite firearms, now you can stock up on ammo and get those accessories you've been wanting!&nbsp;
At the center of this extensive auction is an impressive inventory of ammunition, ranging from thousands of rounds of modern range and sporting caliber ammo—including .22 Long Rifle, 9mm Luger, .223 Remington, and 12-gauge shells—to highly sought-after vintage and collector boxes like .32ACP and US Military surplus .45ACP. Beyond the ammunition cans, bidders will find an expansive selection of firearm accessories, including AR-15 builders kits, high-capacity and vintage rifle and pistol magazines for everything from Colt and Glock to AK-47s and M1 Carbines, and premium optics featuring Leupold scopes and Sig Sauer Romeo 5 red dot sights. The event also showcases a remarkable collection of hand-crafted knives from a local artisan along with vintage switchblade, butterfly, and lockback knives. Professional-grade leather gun belts and holsters, and magnificent taxidermy mounts—including a majestic full strut wild turkey and an upright ring-necked pheasant—culminating in a spectacular centerpiece: a non-firing, demilled M60 Machine Gun display gun.
Preview is Friday before the auction - noon-7pm.&nbsp;Pickup is by appointment. Please call 815-923-7000 to schedule.&nbsp;
