V.Q. Gunworks LLC, owned and operated by Kenneth Ramey, is a Certified Firearms Appraiser and Federally Licensed Firearms Dealer (FFL) based in Salem. The business focuses on what most gun shops won't touch—professional appraisals and legal liquidation of firearms collections.

• •Insurance appraisals for coverage and claims
• •Estate appraisals following death or inheritance
• •Legal appraisals for divorce, bankruptcy, and court proceedings
• •Firearm liquidation by direct purchase or consignment
• •Compliance assistance with Oregon firearms storage laws

Ramey has identified and built expertise around a real gap in the market—seniors with no legal outlet to divest firearms due to a spouse's death, medical condition, or move to a care facility. V.Q. Gunworks handles the entire process legally, and many clients are surprised at what their forgotten collections are worth.

Many of them have been extremely surprised in what these forgotten assets are worth. The removal of this stress and the financial windfall they receive has greatly increased their quality of life.

With Oregon's Firearms Safety Act of 2015 and SB 554 (2021), private firearm transfers now require FFL processing and background checks. Storage laws have tightened significantly—your closet won't cut it anymore. You need an approved safe, gun room, or trigger lock. Failure to comply can result in criminal liability if a firearm is stolen and used in a crime.

V.Q. Gunworks cuts through this complexity. They understand the regulations and can guide you through legal compliance.

Each appraisal includes: - Detailed condition assessment - Three comparable sales (when available) - Full photo documentation - PDF delivery via email - Optional: Custom memory stick for safe deposit box storage
