I don't like the idea of a govt buy back. Everytime a citizen contributes to these programs, we reinforce the idea that citizens need to divest themselves of evil guns and the government needs to be there to help.


Disassemble (the sawsall idea has merit) it and put a different part in the trash every week if you aren't willing to trust someone who says they want it for parts to use it for parts.

check with local gun stores they might offer you some money for it or they may take it off your hands and use it for parts. get a receipt that you transferred it to them under their ffl.

Put it in a box and ship it to me, I'll pay shipping

Everytime the government destroys a gun, a puppy and a kitten are killed.

Seriously, you should see if someone on the forum wants it. If you're that worried, you can have them sign a bill of sale noting that it's unsafe to fire and they assume the risk.

Of course, if you don't give them your info, how are they going to find you anyway?

Having LEO's destroy is just a waste.

I really didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings over my suggestion. From what OP said the gun is not really suitable for parts due to its condition and he seemed pretty certain that he didn't want to sell/give it to anyone. It was just a suggestion as to how to get rid of it quickly and without any effort on his part-hope I didn't kill any puppies or kittens.

OP, you've got guys willing to take this so called piece of crap gun off your hands for you, and yet still want to have it destroyed? I'm sensing lots of WTF in this thread. The Wall hanger project, use it for parts, make it into a lamp, whatever would be much better than trying to destroy it. In my opinion, guns should never be destroyed.

You're entitled to your opinion. The only WTF I see here is the guy who accused me of being from NJ. Bless his heart.

In my OP I didn't ask whether I should dispose of it, I asked how. It's my gun and I will do what I wish with it.

Got that?

torch, hacksaw many ways to get rid of it but I would think just haviing someone sign a bill of sale that and label it as parts gun in non working order and your liablity is gone from that gun.

You've got people that would take it. Hell probably even give you a couple bucks for it.

I'd like to find some junkers that I could strip and practice refinishing, before I do it on something with value.

I also want to do a piece over the fireplace.

There are plenty of people that would like to do the same thing.

If you want to dispose of it, sit on it and spin

Hey Gardner, your right, it is your weapon which gives you every right to do as you wish with and i understand that, however instead of looking to give it away have you considered maybe cleaning it up a bit and using it as some kind of decorative piece like alot of people have said? i mean who knows, you said your father got it a long time ago so if you havent already maybe look into doing a little research on the weapon who knows? maybe theres some kind of cool history behind that would cause you to want to hang onto it, not to fire or anything, but if your really set on just disposing of it than id have to agree with previous posts, saw it up into several pieces and throw a couple pieces in the trash weekly. Maybe look into plugging the barrel and welding the firing pin and sell it to an old antique shop or somthin?

That's kind of a crummy attitude.

People are offering you money for it, and your response is "no, I'm going to destroy it instead." Seems pretty spiteful.

You asked how to "dispose" of it; if you transfer it to someone else, then it is disposed of as far as you're concerned. What do you care whether it gets melted down or chopped up or hung on someone's mantle? If the bill of sale says "as is" and you have clearly represented it as being not in firing condition, then there is no liability.
