What to do with cheap junk guns?

[cbzdel]

I have an old .22lr revolver that was given to me years ago and in mint condition it would be worth all of $100ish according to GunBroker. However, this revolver is beat to hell and rusty, so I am guessing its worth next to nothing at this point. And with the transfer fees to sell it I cant see anyone wanting to buy it. I am sure I am not the only one with a junk gun, what do you guys do with yours?

Wait for a gun buy back in Portland or Seattle and probably get $100 for it.

Pics on this thread would help; many of us here are tinkerers and love a good project gun.

Kindly describe this old gun. There are companies that demil them by cutting the frames and then sell the parts. "EveryGunPart" is one of them.

I believe you could just give it to a gunsmith that holds an ffl. They can transfer it in to their inventory and since they have a legal ffl, no bgc and transfer fee required. They world likely want to run the serial check to verify its not stolen, but other than that I think you're good. Someone tell me if I'm wrong.

Some good ideas here^^

I was going to suggest maybe destroy it on social media, and that goes viral, use the money to buy more guns.

I dont have any pics at the time being but it is a .22lr Iver-Johnson Cadet revolver.

Waiting for a gun buyback is a good idea as well as someone noted above.

Keep it & shoot it

Wait for Sirhan Sirhan to make parole, then sell it to him for nostalgia's sake?




(dumb joke, I know... a Cadet was the gun he used to kill Robert Kennedy)

Mmmmmm, it was the gun he SHOT at RFK with, but it was a 38 spl police revolver that killed him



and yes, that is an actual (if not factual) thing

Might be able to get a few bucks for it IF it can be restored. If you were closer I might be interested. Whenever I am changing out a trigger, putting new furniture on something or even just cleaning firearms, my 12 year old is ready to jump in and take over. This sounds like it could be a good project for a kid

Scrub the serial number and leave it near a homeless camp?

Practice you gun repair / gun cleaning / gun re-finishing skills....

Give it a good cleaning...fix what is broken...maybe even try your hand at engraving....re-finish it.
You won't hurt the value of it...and you may learn a new skill or something new.
Then go out and shoot it .
