looking for an FFL to sell a collection for me

My wife and I are looking to liquidate or substantially reduce our properties in advance of moving. I am looking for a shop that is TRUSTWORTHY and will not screw me. I have a nice collection of garands, G43, WW Bolt actions and some investment quality military pistols. Rather than list them separately here, I am looking for a place that will sell them. I am not listed in 50/50 splits or anything stupid...10% is the highest I will go commission wise.

I also have some ammo I would be looking to sell

any recommendations would be helpful

You might want to consider listing some popular items.  I'd be interested in 1911 guns and you won't have to pay anyone and then take the balance to an FFL.  I know that some FFLs will probably tell you not to consign but sell them the pistols due to the crazy NJ gun laws.  If they book it in for sale and not for gunsmithing you'd have to permit it back out if you wanted it back or it didn't sell. 

 

Where you moving to?  I hope some place warm.

Also something to think about - I don't know what the going rate is, but unless these are very high-priced items, I suspect you'll have a difficult time finding anyone to consign them for 10%.

I'd have to agree, there is no question you would get far more with a private sale.  The gun shops have to make money too and 10% is probably not going to be worth their time to liquidate an entire collection.  I can certainly understand you not wanting to list them all individually but you are going to wind up paying for that convenience.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
