Firearm BS thread

The "safest" (least amount of risk involved for you to get cheated/robbed) is to sell it on consignment with a local shop. They take a cut, so it'll also net you the smallest profit. Other than that, Armslist or Calguns are good communities to sell or at least gain exposure, but expect the normal online haggle and "let me go and ask my wife" BS. Some chaps here would also be willing to buy depending on what you're selling, and you can easily arrange shipping to an FFL.

 

Cool thanks for the info. I figured consignment was probably the easiest. I just imagine that the rifle market in Santa Barbara isn't too hot right now lol. I'm selling a Sako .243 with Leupold scope. I'm 99% sure it's brand new as my dad bought it in 1993 right before he passed away. I'm keeping the sentimental ones and selling a few of the ones that we never use.

 

You could always post what you have here or in a local thread for your area. There's plenty of gun enthusiasts on here that should be close enough to you to make the process easier for both parties.

 

In PA you have to have pistols transferred through a FFL, so every pistol I've sold I just met at a shop.

Rifles don't have to be transfered and can be sold face to face. I've sold two; one was a Marin 336 in 35 Remington and the other was a CZ 452. Both times we just met in a public place (parking lot with cameras) they looked at it, and handed me money. I wasn't worried with meeting these guys since a niche caliber lever gun and a target-ish 22lr rifle isn't really something criminals seek out, so the though that I'd be robbed wasn't in my head.

 

I've sold/bought probably a dozen firearms with person to person sales in SC. Always carried but never had a sketchy encounter. If I did I'd just leave and not sell.

 

Well is anyone is interested it's a Sako L579 .243

$1500 is probably a good starting point

 

In NC private sales of handguns require the buyer to possess a permit. But if a buyer has a concealed carry permit but gets convicted of a crime and his permit gets revoked, How do gun stores and private sellers know that the permit is valid or invalid? Or do their permit get confiscated?

 

Went to the range today. It was a good day.

Disregard all of the stragglers, After i shoot out the center I look for other places to shoot. All in all I’m geting better as a shooter I think.

Did a lot of reload drills and stove pipe drills. All in all I’m pretty happy with today’s training.

 

cant see target!!

Anyone know of any decent Mag/Holster combos for a 1911 (commander size)?

Ultimately would love an IWB and OWB version. Or even just a slim dual 1911 mag pouch. I've got an Aliengear IWB Cloaktuck for the 1911 that is very comfy. But I need a better way to carry an extra mag or two. And the Aliengear IWB Mag carrier is worthless. Damn thing falls out or off the belt very easily. Plus it's not comfortable to wear at all.

 

Finally found a good AIWB for my Sig. real happy with it after a few days with it.

 

Who makes that?

 

Tuctite Holsters. Took about 3 weeks because I special ordered the color and design combo.

 

Ah not bad timing.


I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that my p229 need a wml since it’s my bedside gun, but since my apl-c is going to go on my 19 as soon as my holster shows up, I can’t decide which light to go with. I’m thinking a apl gen 3 or a x300... decisions decisions

 

Milt Sparks.

 

P229?

 

SP2022

 

I just finished this one (for a thigh rig) and made the mag detachable also so it could be worn as just the gun or if he wanted to wear the gun iwb in the other holster i made him he could carry an extra mag. and here is a double mag holster i did that a guy put an ulticlip on so its reverable iwb/owb
