Price Check on Ruger 10/22 Carbine.

I still have my Ruger 10/22 Carbine from back when I first started shooting, and I'm going to be moving across the country soon. I don't think I want to pay 90-100 bucks to my FFLs to transfer a .22 I haven't used in ages. I could use the money from a sale to get a new .22, put it towards a new gun or, Browning forbid, something not gun related. Anyhow, give me a sale price that you've seen from a store or a physical sale, avoid MSRPs.

Also, if you're really good, tell me what I can get for for mine. There's very minor finish wear on the charging handle and a small chip in the stock, BUT I have fiber optic sights installed that cost me 45 bucks. I have two Ram Line plastic 30 rounders that work okay too with the factory 10 rounder. Anyhow, factor all that in and get back to me.

I'd say $220-250 price range, based on store price for good-excellent condition. With the sights you could push for $275 or mayeb $300 with the mags included.

I had to force my dad to not sell the first gun I ever shot, a Reminton 521 .22 long rifle, I have sentiment when it comes to that sort of thing. I have a couple 10/22s, one is a super race gun with a very powerful scope that can knock the ass off a fly at 100 yards.

Anyway, good luck with the sale.

A new Ruger 10/22 cost around $200 and comes with plastic trigger assembly. You're better off keeping it.

Anything FFL transfer above $15 is a rip off. Go to GB and type in your zip code to find the lowest rates.

I'm not the one filing for the FLL, remember, my legal guardians do, and they'd rather stick with a trusted business partner, our current gun dealer, than go to a pawn shop in a bad neighborhood where they know no one for 30 bucks off.

Also, I've grown tired of the .22 anyhow. I was thinking about saving up for a new handgun or higher caliber rifle, maybe just a better manual .22 like a lever or something.

I have given them away as gifts but never sold one.

I have a large gun collection and out off that I only use more or less 3 firearms. The only time I take them out out is to clean them to prevent rust.
