FAMILY GUNS

Every day is a live-fire exercise for Christian and Alex, who buy, sell, trade, and restore some of the world’s rarest firearms.

Family Guns follows British antique-arms expert Christian and his brash all-American son Alex, the team behind International Military Antiques (IMA) – one of the world’s leading dealers in unusual wartime artefacts.

In this family, dynamics take on a unique flavour, where the questions of the day include whether or not to buy a $250,000 Korean War-era tank; or if it is better to unload a $25,000 British colonial cannon now or let it gain value for later. 

And with two experts in the family under one warehouse roof, the office politics can be as explosive as the weapons being sold.
