    How to sell a firearm these days?

    Hey guys,

    I trained with Todd (RIP) back in the day and lurked here for years. Due to some lifestyle changes and moves I am looking for the simplest way to sell a few AR lowers and a few pistols. I live in northern Virginia and when I used to sell FTF was the way. Things have changed and I want to make sure I am complying with the law but not getting screwed by taking them to a gun store (unless that is the newest best way of course). Thanks and sorry if this question is misplaced.

    I’ve bought and sold several firearms on vaguntrader.com. Lots of members on that site are up north, and I see a lot of great deals that are too far away from me. Most gun stores will do a face to face transfer these days, and it seems pretty standard to have the buyer cover the cost of the transfer.

    Glock 43x, BCM lower. Didn’t want to come across as trying to sell here, but since you asked!

    Post ‘em up here to start, and see where it goes. I’d rather cut a fellow forum member a killer deal and be done with it than eke out an extra hundo or two—but have to agonize and labor over the sale. P-F, and bud’s “shipmygun” FTW. JMO.

    Gladly! Where would I post that. Just in general? I couldn’t find the BST forum.

    My fault. I forgot that the FSOT section went private/site supporter a while back. Apologies.

    Not positive but you may have to be a supporting member to access that section.
