If a person wanted to sell a new pristine condition (un-fired) Sig Spear LT (5.56), with mounted accessories including new EOTECH EXPS3-0 and EOTECH G45 magnifier (with mount) and a new Surefire dual fuel pro turbo scout light, what website(s) would you recommend for advertising it in Texas? It's easy to read, understand, and follow Texas transfer laws governing individual private transfers, but I think there may be a new ATF / Biden Admin law preventing this type of transfer now? Short of contacting a lawyer for clarification, do any of you have direct knowledge of the new process which I believe may be required as of 2024?

I've never been in the business of buying weapons with intent to sell for profit, in fact I'm certain that I've never made a profit selling any weapons. I simply own a rifle that I'd like to sell; not interesting is starting or having a firearms sales business. The problem I'm having is trying to understand if I can legally sell this rifle to another private person in Texas without breaking some ambiguous law. Is the 'safe' option to contact firearms dealers in Texas to see if they would be willing to be the 'go-between' me and the buyer, thus performing the required background and paperwork typical of normal transfer process?

If you are concerned about the sale, just use an FFL for the transfer. Or, you can put the item on consignment with an FFL.

Just be aware that with consignment, if you change your mind, or the item doesn't sell, you will have to fill out a 4473 in order the get your item back.

you are able to sell as you usually would....

Without a FATF license, you can only sell to a resident of the same state.

Post it on the EE here and use USPS to ship a rifle to their ffl if out of state. If in state mail it to their door step.

Thanks for the good advice and clarifications; much appreciated guys.

Shipmygun can also be pretty affordable.

Though for rifles you can ship via USPS.

100% wrong, once again.

He cannot sell a FTF WITHOUT going through a FFL. Depending upon which state the buyer is from, he could do a FTF with a FFL as the intermediary.

For a selling tip, you are more likely to get more by selling accessories away from the gun.

Once a firearm is transferred on a 4473 to a non-licensee it is used, never new.  You can say it's in great/excellent condition but it's still a used gun.

Legally there is no new process or background check required in TX to sell one firearm you don't want/need any more to another TX resident.  Just advertise and sell it for cash in a FTF transaction.

There is no Texas law. Only laws that apply here are Federal.

I would sell it here, TexasGunTalk, GunBroker or take it to a gun show.

WTF you talking about?  Texas has an injunction against this bullshit.

OP, you're GTG til the middle of the month.

If you're in north Texas, here are the gunshow listings:

It will be funny if SCOTUS deems FFL’s to be unconstitutional and we all get to mail order rifles again.

He is saying in state only without have a FFL. That is wrong. You can sell to anyone but must use a FFL. You can even sell in state to an out of state resident provided that person's state is eligible for longgun/shotgun purchases in TX.

Dude, I don't know what Communist state you live in, but currently, in state Texas transactions between a Texas resident & a Texas resident need no FFL.  A Texas resident who is not an FFL may not sell to a non-Texas resident at all without running the transaction through an FFL.

This.

Disregard anything UV18 has posted.

That and 4473s is literally the argument Hunter Biden is going to make.
