In a sort of surprising small-town Oklahoma news, the Pawnee County Sheriff’s Department is auctioning off its surplus of guns they've collected over the years. That's not the part that's surprising, but the selection of firepower is what is surprising. This time, it’s about 300 handguns, rifles, and shotguns up for grabs to the highest bidder.

Here’s The Rundown

The online auction is already underway, and yes, some of the firearms are already closing in on maximum value, at risk of overpaying, but there are some steals on there too. On Friday, November 28, the auction closes and whoever has the highest bid wins. Simple enough.

Like all auctions, payments are due the moment the bidding ends, and a steep buyer's premium takes effect after the fact.

What I like about this is that it’s very Oklahoma: a small department doing the hard work of clearing surplus, letting folks around here take a look, bid, see what’s on offer. No big city flash, just a lot of firearms, action, and maybe some good deals.

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang

Now, full disclosure: auctions like these come with caveats. The gear might be “cleared for sale from the evidence room” (per the department’s FB post) so you’ll want to look hard and know what you’re bidding on. Also factor in transport/logistics, paperwork.

One Oklahoma-forum junkie noted: “Pick your piece, set your out-the-door price … no muss, no fuss, no regerts.”

If you’re local (or willing to drive), this could be a good haul for you.

In short: a heads-up for folks around Oklahoma who like old-school deals, firearms, and local stories. Whether you’re a collector, a shooter, or just curious, this one’s worth a look.
