This isn't a high-volume firearms dealer pushing inventory. Bob Roods' 50 years in the gun business means you get actual expertise, not a salesperson reading specs. They handle estate sales—if someone's downsizing a collection, Northwest comes in and appraises or buys the whole thing. They'll also special order Pulsar products if you need something specific not in stock.
The pawn side is legit. 15% on gun pawns with a 10-day grace period is competitive. They accept everything from jewelry and gold to tools and outdoor equipment. Walk-ins welcome for gold and precious metals—no appointment needed. The tool inventory constantly rotates, so if you need used equipment at a discount, you might find deals before hitting a hardware store.
They don't accept furniture. If you're thinking about pawning or selling something specific and aren't sure they take it, call ahead at (406) 256-7871 rather than making the trip.
