thanks for the response. where online can you list a weapon like this. eBay kicked it back off

I'll take it. I have an original bayonet that goes with your model rifle. Shoot me an PM or email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it for what you want for it.

Forget ebay. There tied in with paypal and there both antigun. As payment for your rifle don't accept paypal. Even if you use them discreetly they will ask for a link to what you sold just to verify there policy was not abused. USPS MO or Certified Check is the best route. If you accept a check make sure it clears of course before shipping.

if you don't sell it here ,,you could list it on gunbrokers.com or auction arms ,,both are online gun auctions... it is concidered an antique being it was made before 1898 so you can ship it to anyone provided they send you a copy of there current drivers licence + a signed statement from them stateing..."they are allowed to own a firearm and there are no state or local laws forbidding the pruchase of such firearm"..they will charge you a fee simular to epay and you have to regester on the site ,,it's about the same format as epay but gunbrokers pic's are free and theres no limit and they charge 50 cents to list and then a final value fee..there your best bet for selling it ..if i were listing it i'd proably start it at 350 with no reserve and see where it goes from there ,,i'd run it for 5 days and start the auction on monday or tuesday,,don't forget to add for shipping,,for shipping i'd go with ups ground insured,,set your shipping at 25-30 bucks fixed that should cover it shipped anywhere in the US ,,insurance thru ups ..figure 1.00 pre 100 of insured or final value price,,
you could be pretty surprised with what you might get at an online site!

If you post it for an auction please provide the link to your post.

Thanks,

There's also gunsamerica.com and gunsinternatonal.com

I've never had paypal ask for a link to an auction, I know they are anti-gun and don't really like it but selling guns is just sticking it to them as far as I'm concerned.

You sell send the buyer a paypal invoice for a used mechanical ejector or whatever and it's done.

The seller also needs to be aware that 3.5% or 4% of there profit (whatever it is now) will be turned over to paypal(not my pal)as profit. All your doing is supporting the anti's. You should be putting that % to the NRA instead as a donation to help support the second amend.. My 0.2.
