If you’ve ever scrolled past a rare rifle on your feed and wondered “what is that, and what’s it worth?” — Firearms Guide (FirearmsGuide.com) was built to answer exactly that.
Published since 2009 and now in its 16th Edition, Firearms Guide is the world’s largest searchable firearms, airguns, and ammunition reference database — plus a Gun Value Guide and the largest Professional Gunsmithing Library online. It’s used by gunsmiths, collectors, dealers, armorers, historians, law enforcement, ballistics labs, and everyday shooting enthusiasts in over 18 countries.
For the everyday firearms enthusiast:
Scroll through 84,000+ antique and modern guns, airguns, and ammo from 1,820 manufacturers across 62 countries. Every entry comes with tech specs, values, ballistics, and up to 12 high-res zoomable photos. Found a mystery gun at a gun show or inherited an old rifle? Fourteen search filters — caliber, manufacturer, action type, country of origin, year, and more — let you identify and value it in seconds, something a plain Google search can’t do. The Gun Value Guide (rated 100%–30% by condition) tells you if that garage find is a keeper or a sale.
For gun shop owners, dealers, and traders:
Whether you deal in new firearms or antiques, Firearms Guide gives you instant access to comparable values, specs, and provenance for pricing and appraisal — no more guessing what a walk-in trade-in is actually worth. Side-by-side comparisons make it easy to advise customers and move inventory with confidence, on antiques and modern guns alike.
For gunsmiths and armorers:
This is the real profit center. The Gunsmithing Library holds 27,650 printable, zoomable schematics, factory repair manuals, armorer’s manuals, exploded parts diagrams, blueprints, parts catalogs, and price lists — covering brands like Colt, S&W, Remington, Browning, SIG, H&K, Glock, FN, CZ, Mauser, Beretta, Winchester, and more. Original blueprints for the AK-47, 1911, AR-15, Luger, M1 Garand, M14, MP44, STG44, P38, and UZI are all in there. That means faster diagnostics, accurate part numbers, and fewer hours spent hunting down manuals — time that turns straight into billable repair work. Firearms Guide is used in most of gunsmith schools in the USA where each student gets access to Online PRO Edition.
Bottom line: Firearms Guide turns identification, valuation, and repair reference into a single searchable tool — helping enthusiasts buy and sell smarter, and helping gun shops and gunsmiths work faster and more profitably.
