We Buy Firearms in Chesapeake, VA and the other Tidewater 7 Cities — ODM Firearms (Chesapeake, VA)

If you’re in the Tidewater / Hampton Roads area and thinking “who will buy my guns or my whole collection?”, ODM Firearms is the local, experienced partner you want to call. Based in Chesapeake, VA, we buy single firearms and entire estates across the Tidewater seven cities — Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Portsmouth, and Suffolk — and beyond. Whether you have one pistol, a lifetime collection, or NFA items that need careful handling, we pay top dollar, move quickly, and treat every seller like a neighbor.

Why Tidewater locals choose ODM Firearms

Selling firearms is more than a transaction — it’s trust. At ODM Firearms we combine decades of hands-on firearms experience with real-world market knowledge to deliver fair, transparent offers. Here’s what sets us apart:

• Local expertise: We’re based in Chesapeake and know the Tidewater market. That means realistic, competitive offers grounded in current demand for specific makes, models, and conditions.

  
  

• Top dollar, not lowballing: We use recent sales data, auction results, and our buyer network to give you offers that reflect real market value — not outdated price guides.

  
  

• Full-service handling: From valuation to paperwork, transfers, and (when applicable) ATF/NFA processing — we guide you through each step so selling is simple and compliant.

  
  

• Personable, hometown approach: We treat every seller like a neighbor. No high-pressure tactics, no confusing jargon — just an easygoing, friendly experience similar to your favorite local gun shop.

  
  

• We come to you: Large collections, estates, or sellers who can’t travel — we do in-home visits across Tidewater to inspect and buy on-site.

What we buy — wide range, any condition

ODM Firearms buys nearly everything firearms-related. We specialize in estate collections, NFA transfers, and individual firearms, but our scope is broad:

• Modern rifles and carbines (AR platforms, bolt-actions, hunting rifles)

• Handguns: semi-autos, revolvers, concealed carry pistols

• Shotguns: pump, semi-auto, over/under, vintage field shotguns

• Antique and collectible firearms: pre-1968, military surplus, engraved/classified pieces

• NFA items: suppressors, short-barrel rifles & shotguns, transferable machine guns (we are experienced with ATF/NFA rules and transfers)

• Dealer samples, dealer-only pieces, and restricted items when legally transferable

• Parts, accessories, optics, magazines (where legal), and historical documentation

• Ammo, gun safes, manuals, training materials, and hunting gear

• Damaged, incomplete, or non-functioning firearms — we buy those too

  
  

If you’re unsure whether we’ll buy something, reach out. We can usually tell you over the phone or with photos.

How we value your firearms (and why it matters)

We don’t rely on a single “blue book” or an outdated list. Our valuation process uses a mix of:

• Current local and national sale prices (recent online and auction results)

• Condition and serviceability checks — cosmetic, mechanical, and functional inspection

• Rarity, maker, finish, and provenance — collectible pieces are evaluated with historical context

• Market demand in Tidewater and the broader collector network

  
  

This blended approach helps us offer more accurate, higher cash offers than buyers who use one-size-fits-all guides.

The selling experience — simple, transparent, and friendly

Selling to ODM Firearms is designed to be stress-free:

1. Contact us — call or email with a brief description, photos, or a list of items.

2. Quick appraisal — we’ll give a preliminary offer or schedule an in-person inspection.

3. On-site purchase or drop-off — for large estates we come to you; for individuals you can bring items to our Chesapeake location.
