About Antique Guns
AntiqueGuns.com is a small, family-owned online dealer of antique firearms, founded by Rob Robles with co-founder Griff Robles. The site has been online since May 29, 1997, and the company describes itself as one of the very first websites to offer antique firearms for sale on the internet. Customers deal directly with Rob or Griff Robles, and the business says it has more than 20 years of experience and has handled hundreds of thousands of antique guns, with a stated focus on describing its inventory honestly and accurately.
Billed as “The Place for Serious Collectors,” the site sells through online auctions, including no-reserve “Blowout” auctions, along with fixed-price Buy Now listings, and it keeps an archive of recently sold items that collectors use as a reference for values. It also ships to Europe. For collectors, antique arms are a distinct corner of the gun world: under federal law, firearms made in or before 1898 and certain replicas are generally treated as antiques rather than regulated firearms, though state and local rules can differ. As of 2026 the site remains active, and its home page counter reports more than 10 million views since its 1997 launch.
