Just to be 100% clear, Yankee Artifacts *is* The Village Gun Shop *is* Peter Dowd. Check the phone number. It's all the same operation. And just for the record, they sell most of their confiscated guns through GunsAmerica and the Yankee Artifacts website.
New England Ballistic Services in Hopedale sells all of their confiscated guns as "New England Guns & Parts" on Gunbroker. They are the single biggest seller on Gunbroker operating out of Massachusetts. Crazy, but true.
Both seem to do a very good business since the majority of these confiscated guns are very popular, high-value and extremely well cared for by their unfortunate previous owners. Potential buyers outside of MA have no idea that they are buying confiscated guns for which their previous owners received absolutely nothing in return but grief.
