Barrels i wish to sell maybe????

[Texasgrillchef]

i have a Baretta 92FS Inox and upgraded the barrel to a stainless one that has been threaded. So i have my original stainless barrel. Only fired a couple of hundred rounds through it.

I also have a Smith And Wesson M&P 2.0 45acp barrel 4.5” that i inly fired a few hundred rounds through it before i upgraded to a SilencerCo 5.25” threaded barrel.

My question is, does anyone buy barrels like these? Is it worth posting in one of the trade forums? If so, what are they worth and what should I ask for them? What are the laws about selling a barrel? I noticed that neither of these barrels have serial numbers yet the threaded barrels do.

I wouldn't mind shipping them to someone but is it legal to do so and how?

Thanks

Since the threaded barrels are probably aftermarket, the manufacturer put their own number on it, perhaps for warranty purposes. The gun manufacturers themselves in the US only have to number the frame. If they made an aftermarket barrel and numbered it, it would contradict the original serial #.

Some states may prohibit threaded barrels, but otherwise as far as I know it's legal just to possess a plain barrel.

As far as value, check the usual sources such as Gunbroker or Armslist.

Package them well. Ship them via USPS.

Well the Baretta one is from Baretta.
The one from S&W is from silencerco and not from S&W

They can have value. The current trend of threaded barrel or nothing does not apply to everyone.

They would probably be more marketable if they were 40 or 357 Sig barrels and were also Glock.

I have known folks who keep extra barrels for their pistols though.

Only you can decide if they are worth selling 50-75 each seems fair check eBay

I would advise keeping them. If you ever need to send them back for repair it would be best to put the factory barrel back in first. Likewise if you ever sell them it may bring better resale value to have the original barrel.

Lol im not selling my threaded barrels! Just the ones i replaced with my nee threaded barrels!

What are the NON-Threaded ones worth?

Interesting thought. If i were looking for a used gun to buy, barring all other possible issues, and i saw two identical guns for sale, one that has the threaded barrel and one that does not i would gladly pay a little more for the one with the threaded barrel. Because if i bought the one without the threaded barrel i know i would have to go buy me a threaded barrel for another $150 or more.

However if someone has no desire for using a silencer or muzzle break then their deaire for a threaded barrel gun is nil.

Plus if you sell it with the factory barrel you will still be able to sell the expensive threaded one. People tend not to want to pay more for a gun with aftermarket accessories than a stock one is worth. Just like a rifle and scope, people never want to pay extra for a rifle because it has good optics on it. You can usually sell a rifle and scope separately for more than you can together.

I have no idea what a Beretta or Smith barrel would be worth. But around here Glock take offs generally go for about $70, which is about half the price of new.

I've seen aftermarket Glock barrels for less than 50$, just not anything I own and I don't know what quality they were

Factory pistol barrels typically aren’t worth enough to sell, vs. simply keep in case you decide to sell the pistol later. Reverting it back to factory condition and reselling the aftermarket barrel either as an add-on to the package or as a stand-alone item tends to bring the total product value to about as high as it can get, and have the broadest market appeal.

I just sold a used hreaded barrel on Gunbroker for "decent" money. There is a market for plain barrels it seems, but maybe not much $ in it.

Don't list a threaded barrel on the "EeekBay." Ask me how I know............ lol

Lol well no desire to part company with my threaded barrels! Just never use the plain ones in the more and trying to get rid of crap i dont use or need!

There does not seem to be much demand for non-threaded barrels on the Beretta Forum and Internet. The gun market in general is in a slump. It’s appeal will most likely be someone who is building a “Frankengun” meaning they will want it on the cheap.

Id keep the barrels. They dont take up that much space. Not like having a spare bedroom full of empty factory gun boxes. Thats where I draw the line.
