I know that there are some gun enthusiasts on here so I hope someone can help me. Does anyone know of an online classifieds for firearm? My father is an avid hunter and gun collector and is looking for something like a craigslist for guns, but he's not internet savvy. I'm the exact opposite in that I'm pretty knowledgeable about the internet but know absolutely nothing about guns so I can't help him out much. I tried doing a google search, but I'm wondering if there is a popular and well-known online classifieds listing. Thanks.

I've used gunfinder.net for years, but there is also gunbroker.com, auctionarms.com and gunsamerica.com.

I use gunsamerica.com and gunbroker.com

Just don't pick up the gun from the guys house after you (or your father) buy it.. (might get shot

) Ask for delivery!

Also try Forums for the item your Dad is looking for.

I frequent Sigforum and Cult of the P7 amongst others. They have For Sale Forums like here on Head-Fi.

You must go through a FFL to transfer the gun unless depending on the state you do the transfer FTF.

gunbroker.com and gunsamerica.com have pretty much any type of firearm you can legally own in the US. I bought my first pistol grip 12 gauge Mossberg on gunbroker.com. I miss it dearly!

You can't legally pick up a gun at someone's home unless your state law allows private transfers.

glocktalk.com, ar15.com, and thehighroad.org all have pretty active FS/FT subforums.

Great! Thanks for all that information. I'll check out those sites and let him know.

Gunbroker.com is my fave.

gunboards trader is one good source for finding guns especially surplus

i bought my 1915 Tula M91 and my 1943 Izhevsk 91/30 sniper from gunboards

as well as a handful of accessories... if you need some part or accessory you can hit up the WTB forum there and usually you'll get results

though most of my collection was purchased through gunbroker or direct from an importer or dealer

 

[Chickenman]

Nobody got my joke.. I'm saying they might stick you up IF you agree to a pick up.

Do you really want to buy a gun online? buying new isn't a problem...but you can never tell the condition of a used gun from a crappy cell pic. It's pretty easy to hide any imperfections. Same goes for cars...some people swear by it, but I'd like to get behind the wheel before I throw down some cash.
