Walk into a gun store and tell them that story and see what they say.

I've sold several guns right here for friends, always stating so, and always having the check or MO made out to them, shipped by them via an FFL, etc, etc. as long as the deal ultimately goes thru the current owner, I see no issues with a friend facilitating the deal.

The OP said "buddy wants me to sell it for him", not that he wants him to help him sell it but to sell it. Facilitating a transaction is one thing, the OP mentioned nothing in that vane. A gun transaction is serious business no matter what state that you live in. I remember two that went down in Texas when I was stationed at Ft Hood that turned real bad, real quick. One was a stolen gun brought back by a soldier on leave, he didn't know it was stolen, that didn't matter much when the feds got involved and another was a soldier selling a gun to one of my guys that he stole from an officer's quarters, that one ended in guns to the head and a not soon to be ex-soldier sitting on his butt in Leavenworth as a E-1 for a very long time.
I know how LGS' treat a deal like this because they take this stuff very seriously. If the OP was just on a fishing expedition, he should be told to go to the classifieds with that stuff.

rugerguy said:wow, the "forever skeptics" are out there...yes, the gun is worth every penny of at least $400 only thing wrong is the "missing finish" (wear) and them rubber grips (though some guys who shoot a lot do like them) make sure you take them off from time to time to make sure the gun is NOT "rusting" up under them rubber grips....so depending on the "bore", and just how good it shoots, the market will treat you "right" on one of these true "classics", the Browning Hi Power, about the ONLY 9mm I ever ever cared for....( nah, we liked the original S&W mod 39 too )
I'd give you 300 -350 in a heartbeat........................... :wink:
