Any interest in an NFA trading post?

[Hound]

This statement and those before it kinda goes towards my point. There should probably be a distinct section for NFA for that reason.

nobody can find it because its listed in the wrong section. Serialized items such as Suppressors go in the Firearms Section.

There are other, better, places for NFA buying and selling. There are the well known NFA boards, and then the smaller, much more select - have to know someone - boards where you can buy things like 40mm toys, registered side plates, sear kits, trigger packs, and three holers flow like water from people who do nothing but deal/manf in the NFA trade every day. I don't know if COAR has enough of a pull to draw in the real collectors to make it worth the upkeep. My suggestion would be to see how many NFA things have been in the trading post over the last 12 months and then gauge from there -- but I am betting I already know the answer. Now if we had some more SOTs and FFL 7/9/10s on here, that would be different.

But ya know, you need one of those special "Class Three Type Licenses" to even talk about this stuff, otherwise the ATF will come into your house at 0200 without a search warrant and shoot your dog. Luckily I have my license.

Yep, honestly, that's what I expected. Just was wondering if interest had grown enough yet to where I was wrong. It's not even the NFA items themselves, it's all the other stuff too. Shipping in a MG42 tripod was much more of a PITA than the actual gun itself. Talk about a heavy, expensive SOB to pack and ship...

I've yet to see more than 1 possibly 2 non- ffl nfa items come up for sale. The parts & accessories is somewhat of a niche market. The 2 lahti mags I posted 4 sale some time back. Not even a, hey I might know someone with an interest. Other forums, a few tire kickers, telling me they had no value. But they'd be willing to "take them off my hands", If I'd give them away.


Perhaps a s subsection of the Firearms for Sale as a beta test might work.

Logistics wise, who would moderate the forum ? Who with a serious knowledge of all aspects of the NFA game, has that much spare time to do it. Or even want the headache, OOPS responsibility ?

There are more vault/storage container sales here than NFA, no need for a sub section for either... yet imo.

I would be interested in a forum or sub forum as a trial. I have considered selling one of my suppressors and wouldn't mind seeing what else is available in area.

Well...POST IT! Ain't as if it will be outshined by aaaall of the other suppressors on the forum.

I don't think it would add value. The time is too dilated. I don't currently own any NFA items, I am interested but I am well aware of wait time. I would not generally check or post in such a forum except rarely.
