I have aquired some guns over the years and I am considering selling one of my older shotguns. I received this as a gift from my uncle over 10 years ago and was never given any paperwork about registration. Now I want to sell the gun but do not know what steps I need to take to make sure the transfer is legal. If anybody can get my pointed in the right direction it would be helpful.

You need no paperwork to sell a shotgun. It would be safe to have a bill of sell for safety reasons (mainly to cover your end). Other than that you should be fine in all 50 states. If you are looking for a reasonable price, check http://www.gunbroker.com to see what that modle of gun is being sold for. It should put you in the right direction for an asking price. Good luck.

T. Barker was a popular cheap Belgium made shotgun imported from 1870 to 1914 They were usually Damascus and there fore not safe to shoot, especially if it does not lock up solid It also probably has a shorter chamber than todays ammo The only safe way to shoot it would be to tube it down to a smaller gauge restored it would be worth maybe $200, maybe I would consider a restored piece to be $100 worth of wall art The best thing to do would be to spray the gun down with Ballistol and let it soak in overnight Then wipe the gun down with some heavy denim cloth It will take some elbow grease but you will not damage the patina This will remove most of the surface rust and help free u any stuck parts If there is any pitting or scaling rust treat that with some 000 steel wool Clean the wood with Purple Power or simple green and then hit it with Murphy Oil Buy some of the wooden peg gun hangers and find a wall for it

I would just get a bill of sale with drivers license number and make sure they are of age. Registering a rifle or shotgun in most states isn't a requirement.

I belive this varies state by state. I know you can buy sell and trade firearms and "gun and knife shows" very easily. I think it's handguns that are restricted I may be wrong.
