South Shore Tactical

South Shore Tactical operates as a full-service firearms dealer in Hanover, Massachusetts, handling retail sales, consignments, transfers, and estate liquidations. Walk in and you'll find inventory ranging from collectible military rifles to modern hunting guns and handguns—with inventory that rotates constantly as firearms move through consignment and estate purchases.

Military Surplus & Vintage Rifles The shop carries serious collector pieces: WW1-era Colt 1911s ($2,200), 1944 M1 Garands ($1,500), Czech CZ VZOR 50 pistols, and multiple SKS rifles in 7.62x39. If you're hunting for historical guns that still shoot, this is worth a phone call before driving out.

Shotguns Remington 870s, 1100s, Mossberg 500s, and vintage Winchester pumps stock the shelves. Prices range from $125 for budget bolt-actions up to $750 for well-maintained semi-autos. The 1958 Winchester Model 12 ($500) is the kind of gun your grandfather probably carried.

Semi-Auto Rifles Ruger Ranch Rifles (Mini-14s), Remington Woodsmasters, and Mossberg .22s give hunters and shooters affordable options. Most come scoped and ready to go.

Handguns: Semi-Auto S&W M&P compacts, 1911s (both vintage Colts and modern builds like the Girsan MC1911SC), and .22 target pistols. The Ruger Mark III 22/45 ($425) in the original box with factory accessories is the kind of deal that moves fast.

Handguns: Revolvers Vintage Colt Police Positive Specials and Detective Specials from the 1950s-70s, Ruger Single Sixes, and compact North American Arms .22 Magnums. Prices $300–$495 for used pieces.

Black Powder & Muzzleloaders Remington 700 ML and Thompson/Center Black Diamond inline muzzleloaders for hunters who want straight-wall cartridge seasons or black powder seasons.

"Hanover's best kept secret." That's how they describe themselves—and it fits. No storefront drama, just guns and the people who know them.

The inventory changes constantly. Estate guns come through regularly, which means you might find anything from rare military rifles to high-end hunting guns to vintage handguns. The kind of shop where you go in looking for one thing and leave with something better because it was actually there.

Federally licensed, legitimate transfer service, and they handle consignments fairly. If you need to move a collection or buy something from out of state, this is straightforward to work with.
