What is a Gun Appraisal?

A gun appraisal is a formal assessment of a firearm's value, typically conducted by a firearms expert or Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder. It involves evaluating the firearm’s make, model, condition, rarity, historical significance, and current market demand.​​

Think of it like a vehicle appraisal—you want to know what your item is worth before selling, insuring, or passing it down.​
