Give Your Old Gun a Second Life
Donate Your Broken Gun .
No gun is worth throwing away. Donate your old or broken firearm to Northwoods Firearms — Bobby will dismantle it, salvage every usable part, and put it to work restoring other people's cherished guns.
Nothing Goes to Waste
Every Part Has a Purpose
When a firearm is too far gone to restore as a whole, its parts still have life left in them. Bobby Connor has spent years sourcing hard-to-find components for restoration work — and donated guns are one of the most valuable sources. A broken stock, a worn trigger group, an old barrel — these are exactly the parts that bring someone else's heirloom back to life.

Young Shooters Depend on It
Lots of young kids get started with older, well-worn firearms — hand-me-downs from parents and grandparents that need work before they're safe and reliable. Your donated gun could be the source of the exact part that gets a young hunter into the field for the first time, or puts a family heirloom back in working order for the next generation.
No Gun Left Behind
We Take It All — Junk Guns, Air Guns, BB Guns
You'd be surprised what Bobby can use. If it has a trigger, a spring, a pin, or a screw — it has a purpose. Don't throw it away. Bring it in.
Junk Guns
Rusted solid, cracked stock, seized action, missing parts — it doesn't matter. Even the most beat-up firearm has hardware that can save someone else's gun. Bobby turns junk into working parts.
Completely non-functional? Still wanted.
Air Rifles & Pellet Guns
Old air rifles and pellet guns share trigger components, springs, seals, and hardware with other platforms. Bobby accepts air guns for parts — they're more useful than you think.
Crosman, Daisy, Benjamin & more.
BB Guns
That old BB gun sitting in the garage or barn? Bring it in. Springs, sights, stocks, and small hardware all have a second life in Bobby's restoration shop.
No gun is too small or too old.

Why Donate Instead of Trash It?
No Gun Is Worthless
Even a firearm that can't be repaired as a whole still has springs, pins, stocks, barrels, and hardware that are genuinely useful. Bobby will find a home for every part.
Restore Someone's Heirloom
Your donated parts may be the missing piece that brings a family's cherished firearm back to life. Restoration work depends on sourcing original components — your gun could be that source.
Help Young Shooters Get Started
Young hunters and sport shooters often rely on older, budget firearms. Donated parts keep those guns running safely and reliably for the next generation.

Air Guns & BB Guns Too
