I am thinking of selling my M1A pre ban and my M1 Garand. I live in Iowa and would like to know how I can sell it legally. From what I have seen here, to sell it out of state I would have to ship it to a licensed dealer, is that correct? What about in state? Do I have to do anything if I sell it to another Iowan? I have herad on other websites that if it's in state I don't have to do anything legally, but I want to make sure thats true.
Also, what are the current values of the guns? The Garand I bought used but was redone as far as I can tell. The coating on the metal parts looks to have been done and I redid the stock with polyurethane varnish, I know not original but it looks nice. I also have a new bayonet for it and extra magazines. The M1A I got new with a scope and the 20 round clip (pre ban). It still looks new and has only had enough rounds through it to get the scope sighted in, so maybe 40 rounds. Both guns have slings also. I would rather keep them but need the money to help pay for a place to live, which is why I am also selling my 2000 Z28.
Any help would be appreciated, and I will be posting them for sale in the classifieds here once I know what to do and what a fair asking price would be. Thanks.
