Used Gun Prices

Used gun prices can vary from state to state based on regional supply and demand as well as age and condition of the firearm in question. This page will provide resources for evaluating used gun prices and the factors that affect them. Please note that any firearm transactions that take place online across state lines fall under the jurisdiction of the federal gun laws. These laws require that the transaction take place between the holders of a Federal Firearms License (FFL) for gun dealers. Most local FFL holders will accept and process online transactions for a small fee based on the purchase price of the gun.

Condition standards have been developed to assist in the evaluation of used guns. The NRA condition standards are divided into two categories: one for modern guns and one for antiques. These are the most commonly used condition standards, although there are other published standards in use. Modern gun standards include the descriptions of new, perfect, excellent, very good, good and fair. The antique gun standards do not include new or perfect designation, but instead use factory new to indicate all original parts in mint condition. In addition, the antique gun standards also add the quality designation of poor as the worst category. Many modern firearm dealers will use the term 'as new' to describe used guns that fall in the 'perfect' standard category.ArmchairGunShow.com: NRA Condition Standards for rating firearms
