Where can I donate old hunting rifles and cartridges?

Question

I need to dispose of these - will donate, sell whatever, but don't know where to look.

Answer 1

I haven't a clue where you could donate them. Why not just take them to a pawn shop and get some money?

Or you can turn them into the police department. They will destroy them.

Answer 2

What do you have i am looking for a hunting rifle at a good price for my hubby

If not the best thing i could tell you to do is take them to a pawn shop and sell them, because i have no clue how you would donate a rifle.

Answer 3

Donate to a local organization. National Wild Turkey Fedaration chapter near you or some other hunting group that could auction them off for charity or fund raising.

Answer 4

Please take them to a good local gun shop. Most likely if they are "old" they are worth money and have historical value. They may not be worth anything to you but they are gems to some. Pawnshops will rip you off, police departments will destroy the guns. Either scenario is a shame. Go to a local book shop and buy a book on gun values Fjestad's blue book is the best.
You may have many treasures in your possession, or you may simply have a few good rifles that someone will love and appreciate.

Answer 5

Stay away from pawn shops - they buy for pennies on the dollar and turn huge profits. It's true that police departments will destroy them. I would be interested myself

If you are set on donation, try whitepages.com and type in gun clubs or huntiing clubs in your area. If you locate any, ask them about handicapped hunts/disadvantaged youth hunts etc. (just don't mention the guns until they give you contact info on the hunt trips or they will simply take your guns for themselves.) You can also contact your local fish and wildlife bureau and ask them the same question.

Answer 6

Look in your Yellow Pages under "guns". Call a few shops and arraigned to bring them in.....unloaded of course.

Also, most VFWs will gladly take your old guns and raffle or sell them. VFW halls are full of hunters.

Answer 7

Take them to a gun shop--they buy used arms. As others have pointed out, pawn shops don't give you anything near what the guns are worth.

Or advertise them in your newspaper under "Sporting Goods."

Answer 8

What kind of rifles I'm interested

Answer 9

check a sporting goods store as sometimes you can donate to them or take it too good will as you can write that off for donating.

Answer 10

well go to your local gun clubs and see if they want to raffel them off and maybe split the money with a charity of your choice
