Madison County Firearms

Madison County Firearms operates as an FFL office in Huntsville serving shooters across Alabama and beyond. This isn't a gun store with shelves—it's a streamlined transfer service and consignment operation run by M.D. Smith, a 40-year veteran of reloading and shooting sports.

• •FFL Transfers - Buy a firearm online from anywhere and have it shipped to Madison County Firearms. They handle the paperwork, NICS background check, and transfer for $25 per gun (first gun in a multi-gun shipment from the same dealer is $35, additional guns are $25 each). Fast turnaround—they call you within 15 minutes of arrival and you can pick up during business hours (9 AM–3:30 PM, Monday–Friday).

• •Consignment Sales - Bring your firearms and Madison County will photograph them, write listings, handle all the research and web programming, sell them on GunBroker, and ship to the buyer's FFL. Commission is 20% of sale price or $75, whichever is higher. You do nothing except wait for your proceeds.

• •In-Stock Inventory - They maintain listings on GunBroker with items available for direct purchase in their office (saves you shipping). Any firearm you see listed there can be picked up in person.

"I have been a gun collector, shooting sports enthusiast and reloader of my own ammunition for over 40 years. You won't find anyone better qualified to advise you on guns, ammo and any question you may have."

Smith runs this operation with the precision of someone who actually reloads ammunition and shoots competitively. He doesn't just transfer guns—he pairs your information with his FFL so nothing gets lost. He photographs and lists your consignment guns himself rather than handing it off to someone who might not represent them well.
