Historic Firearms through Eastern Insurance. Call Laura and she will square you away: 1 (800) 545-9326. I used Collectibles for a few years, but switched to Historic because they are less costly and have better benefits with fewer exclusions.

Two choices, Collectibles or Eastern.
Serial #s only required if item is high value like over $25,000 Proof of loss required if you have a loss. Ball park rates are $7.50 per year per 1,000 insured which will vary but this should be close. If you have an extremely large collection the previous rates are likely high, I have seen some pretty good rates on six figure collections. Finally, the question everyone asks, has anyone had to file a claim and had problems? Over the years there have been numerous threads here where Members had to file with both Eastern and CollectInsure AKA Collectibles, no negative company issues have been reported that I have seen. |

My homeowners insurance company provides me (with additional cost) an $25k collectables policy for sporting goods.

I have a Personal Article Policy through State Farm. I think it is for around 50k and I pay $160 yearly.

I called the insurance company that handles my home owners and they only cover $2,000, over that they want $30 per thousand per year and that only covers when they are on your premises, they also want descriptions and serial numbers for all.
I sent Eastern an email last week and no response. Called them twice this week and set on hold for 20 minutes with no answer. I will give them a couple more calls tomorrow. After that I will move on to somebody else. I used to have a policy with Collectables, may have to go back to them. |

Eastern for me also. They are a good company and the cost for the coverage is very reasonable.
@G21 I think the person that handles the firearms policies has been out this week. I say this only because I had to contact the the company and received an auto-reply email saying she was out this week. |

Collectibles cost more but better (a lot better) customer service. |

I tried a few more times and could never reach anyone at Eastern, and they have never answered my quote request online from 3 weeks ago..
Called Collectibles and had a policy in 5 minutes. $30k was only $222 per year. That covers firearms', scopes, magazines, ammo and knives. Even if you are away from home with them. |

We've used Collectibles (Collect Insure) for years, they're good to go.
No articles list, covers your stuff while traveling, and they actually respond. |

Just went with collectibles yesterday. Very easy to get coverage online and very responsive to questions. I hope I never have to use them

Collectibles is less than half that price once you get into higher numbers. More like $3/$1000 insured value. And it gets progressively cheaper as you go up. So if in doubt, insure to a higher value. |

I don't know if Eastern does this, too, but i really love that I can set up my Collectibles policy to auto increase 1% every month.
I KNOW I'm going to buy more guns, so it's nice to not have to keep calling them to increase my coverage. |

How do you prove how much ammo,mags etc you have? |

I have a policy with Gun & Trophy, which was very cheap. They are very responsive, as well. I will probably be looking to switch at the end of the policy period because Gun & Trophy does not cover reloading equipment, though.

I used Collectibles for a few years, but switched to Historic because they are less costly and have better benefits with fewer exclusions. I also use Eastern. Covers everything and allows for additional ammo riders to cover the fort. They also give a discount for being an arfcom member. It’s about $5 per $1000 covered. I also have a large ammo rider to cover the fort, which adds to the cost, but not much. |
