What gun, how old, etc. etc.

[Maximusmax51]

smith corona 03-a3 30.06, sporterized. maybe 15-20yrs old.

I have bought and sold sporterized 03's for around the 500 mark. Less if they have been abused. All the ones I have seen have scopes and modified bolt handles. Many need to have a shaved or aftermarket safety as well.

There is no registration of long guns in CA.

To lawfully sell it you simply meet the buyer at an FFL and have the FFL process a PPT between the two of you.

No serial number information gets submitted anywhere.

The buyer pays the FFL $35 and comes back 10 days later to pick up the gun.

That's it.

If the gun was more than 50 years old, then you could cash and carry it to someone else you have good reason to believe is not a prohibited person.
