In today's episode of the TFB Behind the Gun Podcast, we've brought on Joel from the Rock Island Auction Company. Joel has been with RIAC for close to 10 years and has a wealth of knowledge, passion, and experience in the firearm collecting world. Today Joel and I discuss some common collectible firearms types, what to look for when you start collecting, and of course some of Rock Island's most high-profile and historically significant auctions to date and the rich history behind each piece. We'll also dive into what fans of the Rock Island Auction Company can expect from the Upcoming Premier Auction #87 which features two fairly significant historical firearms both belonging to former US presidents. If you're interested in starting a collection of your own, Joel also has a few tips and suggestions for where and how to get started.

If you'd like to receive a FREE copy of the December Premier Auction #87 catalog featuring hi-res photos and detail writeups on each piece, Joel is offering physical copies of the Catalog to the first ten people to go over to the Rock Island Auction Company Instagram page and leave a comment letting them know you've listened to the podcast and are a TFB reader! These will go fast so act quickly!
