Hammond Watson Auction Service

Hammond Watson Auction Service handles specialized gun consignment auctions throughout the year. Rather than operating a fixed retail location, they organize periodic firearms sales events—typically held at the Palmyra Fairgrounds Sesquicentennial Building—where collectors and shooters can buy and sell.

Their inventory spans serious range:

• •Rifles: Winchester lever-actions (.22, 30-30, 44-40), modern ARs and tactical rifles (AR-15, RAS47, XM-15), vintage Remingtons, Marlins
• •Shotguns: Remington 870s and 1100s, Mossberg 500s, Winchester pumps and semi-autos (12ga, 20ga, .410)
• •Handguns: Glocks, Sigs, Springfields, Rugers, S&W revolvers and semi-autos, vintage Colts, Taurus Judge
• •Black Powder & Collectibles: Navy Arms cap-and-ball revolvers, Thompson Center Contenders, derringers
• •Rimfire: High Standard pistols, Ruger 10-22s, vintage .22 rifles from Winchester, Remington, Marlin

"All buyers must pass a background check to purchase a gun"

They accept firearms on consignment and organize sales events where bidders can purchase. This model appeals to estate liquidation, downsizing collectors, and shooters looking for deals on used inventory.

If you're selling, this beats sitting on inventory. If you're buying, auctions often have deeper selections of older, harder-to-find models than typical dealers stock. Hammond Watson's events draw serious collectors and shooters looking for everything from working .22s to premium vintage rifles.
