Hello to fellow forum members/readers and thank you in advance for any help you may render.
Here's my situation:
I have a J.C. Higgins10313 22lr rifle. It is a good shooting gun...until recently. It started failing to fire. The indentions on the rims of the shells were very faint. I replaced the striker spring, but that did not fix the problem. I believe the firing pin must be to blame, but while working the action tonight, the bolt handle fell off. I only gave $80 for this rifle, and I don't want to put any more money in it. I would rather scrap it and sell the parts off of it for what little I can get and put the money toward another rifle.
So, here's the question: Since the best marketplace any more is the internet, what parts of a firearm can I legally sell on the internet? Or, maybe it would be better to ask: what parts of a firearm are illegal to sell on the internet? I was thinking I had been told or I had read that certain parts like maybe bolts or receivers were illegal or that you could sell bolts and receivers via mail, but just not IN THE GUN...any clarification would be appreciated.
Also, does anybody wanna buy some J.C. Higgins 10313 parts? The rifle is made by Marlin, and it is actually a Marlin 881 that was made for sale by Sears. So, if you've got a Marlin 881 that needs parts, this is a good opportunity for you.
Looking forward to answers...
