Selling A Assault rifle Advice

[Uffdaphil]

I tried consignment and gave up. Store basically had a nice wall hanging for a couple months. The black rifle market is saturated right now so I would figure a fair price, deduct 10%, list here for a few days then Armslist if no one grabs it.

I've did this with two of my black rifles that I no longer had use for, and wanted something else. Just did this with one a couple of days ago.

With both guns, I took them to Lakes Trading in Forest Lake.



When dealing with this type of weapon, I want good honest folks to deal with, and I want to be positive that everything is done legally.

I'll take a little less for one of these guns just to sleep easy.

Just an idea for you to ponder.

your thinking way too much on this.. toss an add on here or armslist and be clear in the add that you want a receipt and require seeing a valid permit to purchase or dl. (saying you want this stuff will make the potentially bad seed not contact you and if they do they usually say "my permit got lost" ... "my permit is in the mail".. make the transaction happen at a local gun club in the parking lot (this will keep the goof balls from marking you on a map as a house with guns to rob at a later date and you don't have less worries of getting mugged as most gun clubs have well rounded alert citizens there). don't worry like most things the first time is a little scary and then you will settle into a rhythm and add some of your own moves to it.

Might want to think a little more about that: Most gun club have controlled access for their members, and don't allow uncased guns anywhere except on the firing range.
Plus any place that has a firearms related business likely gets nervous when non-FFL transactions take place on their premises.

This is bad advice. Federal law requires that you disclose that the package contains a firearm.

Firearms are common auto parts if you drive a good car. You can always get a 3rd party to ship USPS for you.

If you don't mind violating Federal Law. Isn't it against MGT TOS to advocate breaking the law? I can never remember.

Anyway, USPS, FedEx, and UPS all "reserve the right to inspect any package, either by opening or by X-Ray". All three are x-raying more and more packages every year. Shipping firearms as "auto parts" would be exceedingly stupid.

It is true, however, that you can probably get an FFL to ship a handgun or "assault rifle" via USPS, which is legal.

When all is said and done, and the dust has settled, I would still go to a top flight gun dealer with this.
Gary and Brian at Wolf's Den are extremely trustworthy to give you a great deal and to do all of the paperwork necessary also.

You think he's trolling? I think it sounds like exactly the kind of thing that he'd do and advocate that others do.

A lot of smart A$$ comments, I was only wondering if Mn had any special rules for assault rifles. That was my only concern. I'll probably consign it at a gunshop so I won't have to worry about anything.

Don't call it an assault rifle. That's the name that every person with an agenda uses. You can transfer it to anyone in the state it is a very easy process. Your best bet is to write up a bill of sale selling it yourself will be a lot easier, and you would probably make more money on your side. Although if you sell it through a licensed FFL dealer it would deffinetly put your mind at ease considering the rifle would go in the name of the purchaser.

As the State of MN recognizes the term and has some specific statutes involving the possession and transfer of such, calling it something else might only serve to obfuscate what the OP wished to learn.
And it's not true that "anyone in the state " can legally be transferred this, or any firearm.
I suspect that is the foremost issue at hand to the OP.

Minnesota Statutes: 624.712 DEFINITIONS.

Yes I understand my description was a little bit blury, and I'm sorry for that but allowing politicians to name a type of rifle as an assault rifle is purely surving a single single purpose by demonizing a sporting rifle by makeing it sound malicious buy those that are less aware of the certain firearm in question. And just back to the people writing these classifications I can almost gaurentee it's comeing from the silver spooners cabinet.

When Colt, Sig, Steyr, H K, FN, Norinco, etc, etc began marketing semi- automatic versions of their full-auto military rifles- they weren't calling them 'modern sporting rifles'.
That's a term developed to 'un-demonize' that which the arms makers originally called assault weapons, a term which now appears to suffer from being politically incorrect. So now those 50+ year old designs are termed modern...
