In Pawn Stars season 3 episode 28, titled "Ah, Shoot!", the team at the world-famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop gets a taste of the wild West with a number of firearm-related items brought in by customers.
The episode opens with Chumlee trying to negotiate a good deal on an antique shotgun. The seller wants $1,200 for the piece, which he says dates back to the 1800s and has been passed down through generations of his family. Chumlee consults with Rick, who tells him that they can't just take the seller's word for it - they will need to do some research and make sure the gun is legit before they can make an offer. Rick also warns Chumlee to be careful when handling antique firearms, as they can be very valuable and also very dangerous if not handled properly.
Next up is a customer who wants to sell a pistol that he claims belonged to the famous Wild West outlaw, Billy the Kid. Rick and the guys are skeptical, as this would be a major find if it were true. They examine the gun closely and consult with a firearms expert to try and determine its authenticity. In the end, they are unable to definitively prove or disprove the claim, so they decide not to make an offer on the gun.
Another customer brings in a vintage rifle that he says was used in the Civil War. The rifle is in rough shape, with rust and damage to the wood and metal. Rick and his team have to decide if it's worth the time and expense to restore the gun, or if it would be better to sell it as-is to a collector who can appreciate its historical significance.
The episode also features a visit from a celebrity guest - renowned marksman Jerry Miculek. Jerry brings in a number of his own custom firearms, including a revolver that can fire 8 shots in under a second. Rick and the team are impressed by Jerry's collection and his skills as a shooter, and they learn a lot about the art and science of designing and shooting firearms.
Overall, "Ah, Shoot!" is a fascinating episode of Pawn Stars that showcases the shop's expertise in the world of antique and modern firearms. Whether you're a history buff, a gun enthusiast, or just a fan of the show, you won't want to miss this exciting installment of the hit reality series.
