Minnesota Weapons Collectors Association

Largest and oldest weapons collectors group in the state of Minnesota.

The Minnesota Weapons Collectors Association was established by a group of collecting enthusiasts. The organization provides an opportunity for collectors to buy, sell and trade and a forum for social interaction and fellowship for those interested in the hobby of arms collecting.

The MWCA covers a broad spectrum of arms collecting, including aboriginal weapons through antique arms and edged weapons up to modern day arms including ammunition, accessories and accouterments. The wide diversity of interest is one of the strong points and benefits of the group.

Membership of the MWCA stands at over 1,000, with a significant number of charter members still actively involved.

The MWCA presently sponsors up to eight meetings per year in the Twin Cities, Rochester, St. Cloud and Blaine. These are 300 to 600 table shows of 100% arms and accessories with exhibitors from all over the country.

Our biggest, most popular all-around show is held at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds building in March of each year. Our Annual Trophy Show features many fine collections set up exclusively for display, competition, and education.

The MWCA is a non-profit organization. Proceeds go to the Boy Scouts, firearms safety programs, junior shooting programs and many other worthy organizations. Please join us!
