For 30 years, KIKO has been the name people trust when it matters most, from major life transitions to selling your family home or downsizing valuable personal collections. No matter what we’ve sold, we’ve always delivered the same level of focus, integrity, and commitment to treating your possessions with care.
Over the years, we have honed our expertise in one category in particular – firearms. We’ve seen collections handed down through generations, pieces with important stories, and investments that deserve more than a quick sale to the first offer.
After decades of firearms auctions, we knew these collections needed a dedicated approach built specifically around their unique requirements.
That’s why we created KIKO Auctioneers – Firearms.

Compliance and Performance – Simplified
KIKO is giving firearms the focused expertise they require. Because when you’re dealing with valuable assets and strict regulations, you need someone who knows exactly what they’re doing.
Our mission is simple:
- Every transaction conducted with full ATF compliance to deliver the legal peace of mind that you deserve.
- Performance that leverages our nationwide reach and decades of market knowledge to get you faster sales and better results.
- A consignment process so straightforward, you’ll wonder why anyone does it differently.
This is KIKO, refined for firearms. White-glove service. Real results. Zero guesswork.

A solid quarter for KIKO Firearms
KIKO Auctioneers – Firearms had a strong second quarter of sales in 2026, with more than 1,400 firearms and accessories sold across our live and online auctions. From modern tactical rifles to Civil War-era relics, the breadth of what crossed our block this quarter reflects the diversity of the collectors, shooters, and sellers who trust KIKO with their firearms.
Our auctions this quarter served every corner of the firearms community. Handgun categories ranged from collector-grade revolvers like the Colt Python and Colt Diamondback to high-end 1911s and competition pistols. Rifle offerings spanned American classics from Remington, Winchester, and Ruger alongside a deep bench of military surplus — Springfield 1903s, US M1 Garands, and Mosin Nagants — giving militaria collectors a rich selection to pursue. Shotgun buyers had their pick of premium sporting doubles from Caesar Guerini, Browning, and Beretta, plus vintage side-by-sides from AH Fox, Ithaca, and Iver Johnson. Rounding things out, accessory lots including optics, ammunition, and collector knives kept bidders engaged from open to close.
