Has anyone ever turned a gun that was registered to them at a buy back?

[bohoki]

oh no evil thought report gun stolen then turn it in and see if it is returned

desertjosh you were able to pick up a Beretta Jaguar model 71.
that's a pretty good score.

There are so many unreliable 22 semi automatic's out there & I think that Beretta has a better reputation.

if you look at the "users" on this wiki page ...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beretta_70

you'll see that the Israeli Mossad and Israeli special forces both use the Beretta model 70/model 71, and I think it was more than just training with .22s...

if you know what I mean.

I'm about to turn in an old JC Higgins 12g for a Walmart gift card tomorrow. Does anyone know how to clear the record of me still owning it?

How much is the gift card for? I only ask, because MANY people on here would happily buy whatever gun it is in whatever condition it's in for the same price, regardless of value, just so that you don't give it to a buy-back program. Whatever the gun is, I'll buy it from you if you're local for $150, no questions asked.

It was for $50. Oh NOW you tell me! Lol
You'll go broke in that business good sir!

I wouldn't give them anything at all just based on principle

Oh I sure would. Like if I had one with a cracked frame or something. Any way to screw them outta $$ is good in my book.

That's ok, you're not local

I feel like guns and cars share a commonality... if it runs, no matter what it is, there's an inherent minimum value. For a car, if it runs, you're basically guaranteed $1000 for it. For a gun, that value varies I suppose, but I'd likely pay $150 for pretty much anything that fires.

For $51 I'd bet TONS of people on here would've taken it off your hands, and as an added bonus it wouldn't have been melted down. Maybe it would've been someone's 12th birthday present. That is, either someone who just turned 12, or a 51 year old who already got 11 other presents.

i wouldn't turn in any guns on principle alone. screw those guys that operate those buy backs.

this, a thousand times this.
