All you criminals and criminals in training:

Move along.  Nothing to see here.  This doesn't pertain to you.

The last time, I had a rifle I was working on that needed the barrel refinished plus one or two parts replaced.

I offered it here for the same price as the buy-back turn-in credit amount. 

I sold it instead of having it destroyed and received the same compensation.

Just putting that out as an option.  Someone might want a good deal on your firearm that's in need of repair. 

Never hurts to ask before turning it in for destruction.

Got my gift cards this morning.  Generally anything run by the C&C is a pain, but I must say that this event was well organized.  They easily had 50+ people working the event.  I was out in about 5 minutes.  Miller time!

Yes, stripped receivers count.  I had an old Mosin that looked like it was under water for 20 years and an old #1 rolling block receiver.  I asked about turning in a semi-auto 22 rifle for $200 since the flyer says 'any semi-auto' rifle, but the cop said it would be $100 is has to be an 'assault type' rifle for $200.  Making up the rules as they go - we're all used to that.

If you look at how the assault weapons ban bills are written, the state considers all semi-auto rifles "assault type" weapons.

It's not surprising they "accidentally" printed on the buy-back flyer the only difference between a 'rifle' @ $100 and a 'semi-auto rifle' @ $200 is the type of action and NOT the real classification.

We've all been warned the end goal is to ban all semi-autos.  This is just more evidence of that agenda.

Like usual, most of the guns that can be seen in pics or vids have wood furniture.
