I have a small inventory of black rifles (or "assault rifles" as some erroneously call them). Unfortunately, I have some family medical bills I need to pay and therefore I've made the decision to sell them.
I'm thinking I have three options:
(1) take them to a gun store and see what they'll pay
(2) put them on gunbroker
(3) sell them in private transactions (i.e., the NWFA classifieds)
I believe I've ranked those choices from lowest hassle to highest hassle, and from lowest price to highest price, but I've never really sold rifles. I would appreciate any advice. As for appraisal, I can look them up on gunbroker or in past for sale threads here, if that is a good method -?
Here is the list...all except the Norinco are in excellent condition as they've mostly sat in my safe, some for quite a long time. I haven't put more than 200-300 rounds through any of these.
AR-15
Colt AR-15 Sporter Match HBAR
AR-15 Parts
AR-15 upper (I think it's a 16.5" or whatever the min legal length is)
Another AR-15 upper (also 16.5", with a spike flash suppressor and quad rails)
6 AR-15 lowers (4 Aero Precision, 2 JC Weaponry)
A few misc. kits for grips, springs, handguards, etc.
AR-15 Mags
29 Magul Mags - mix of Gen 2/Gen 3, nearly all still sealed
5 colt-brand 30-round metal mags
1 colt-brand 20-round metal mag
20 metal mags from various manufacturers (green/black followers)
M1A
Springfield M1A National Match s/Smith mount + rings
pretty sure I have the original Springfield in a box, but the $300 Smith is better
10 20-round metal mags + the 5-rounder it came with
AK-style (2)
Romanian WASR-10 AK-style
Norinco MAK-90 (thumbhole stock edition - from the Bush-era ban) - this is a bit more beat up but it's just external wear and tear...how I got the thing when I bought it.
11 30-round metal AK mags + a 5-rounder
