Is it illegal to buy or sell a 22 rifle over the internet? I could not find one on E-bay?

Not illegal at all - eBay just doesn't want that business. If you want to arrange a firearms purchase over the internet (you can't really BUY a gun online unless you're a licensed dealer) then head to one of the links below.

Seconding Mike B...you can buy guns online...I just done it today, got it in about four hours ago and went shooting.\nYou just have to contact a gun dealer in your area and have the firearm shipped to him, and you fill out the paperwork and do a transfer in his shop.  No big deal, really.  Plus, if you buy it from another state, no sales tax!

Yes\nFirearms Shipping Guide (last updated on 8/13/2005 4:23:56 AM)\n\nOverview\nThis page provides information about Federal Laws, step that must be followed, and notes on using specific shippers when shipping firearms. This page is oriented toward the seller of an item. If you need information about how to buy a firearm through GunBroker.com, please refer to our Buyer's Tutorial.\n\nThis page contains information oriented toward persons shipping firearms within the United States. For sellers located outside the United States, please see our Import / Export Page.\n\nShipping Legalities\nFederal Law requires that all modern firearms be shipped only to a holder of a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL). The recipient must be have an FFL; however the sender is not required to have one. Any person who is legally allowed to own a firearm is legally allowed to ship it to an FFL holder for any legal purpose (including sale or resale).\n\nHere is exactly what the ATF 'Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide' (ATF P 5300.4) says:\n(B9) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by carrier?\nA nonlicensee may ship a firearm by carrier to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm. [18 U. S. C. 922( a)( 2)( A) and 922( e), 27 CFR 178.31]\n\nB8) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U. S. Postal Service? [Back]\nA nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. A nonlicensee may not transfer any firearm to a nonlicensed resident of another state. The Postal Service recommends that longguns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms.\n\n'Antique' firearms need not be shipped to a licensed dealer. These can be shipped directly to the buyer. An antique firearm is a firearm built in or before 1898, or a replica thereof. The exact ATF definition of an antique firearm is:\nAntique firearm. (a) Any firearm (including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system) manufactured in or before 1898; and (b) any replica of any firearm described in paragraph (a) of this definition if such replica (1) is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition, or (2) uses rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition which is no longer manufactured in the United States and which is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade.\n\nKnives, air guns, accessories, and most gun parts need not be shipped to an FFL holder. We say most gun parts because each firearm contains at least one part that the ATF considers a firearm. This part is typically the part that contains the serial number. This part must be treated as a complete firearm when shipping the item.\n\nAmmunition must be clearly identified as 'Small Arms Ammunition' on the outside of the box. Some shippers treat ammunition as dangerous or hazardous materials.\n\nThe section of the US Code that governs modern firearms is called Commerce in Firearms and Ammunition (CFA). This code is available online at: www.atf.treas.gov/regulations/27cfr178.html\n\nWhen in doubt, we suggest arranging for transfer through a licensed dealer. Violation of the CFA is a felony and penalties for violation of it are severe.\n\nFederal and State Law Resources\nThe Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) has a very comprehensive site containing information about the various Federal and state law

Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst, NEVER list the full serial number on-line ...it is like posting your credit card number! (Anyone could claim the rifle to be theirs and report it stolen, and YOU have just lost your rifle or been severely inconvenienced!)\n\nYou have a Swedish Mauser manufactured in Sweden by the Carl Gustafs Company. Your rifle is more than likely chambered for the 6.5mm x 55mm Swedish Mauser round! There is also (probably) a brass-like disk on the right hand side of the butt stock, which I have heard is used for ballistic information (I do not have first hand experience on this). \n\nI would like to say that this rifle is a Model 96, but I can't be sure of the designation. Please see link, below!

Bound's hubby here:\n\nYou have asked a question that is a double edged sword:\n"What can you hunt with a .22?" (within the cartridge's abilty) versus "What can you hunt with a .22?" (what can you legally hunt with it).\n\nLegally, that depends with your state's Fish & Game regulations.\n\nWhat is the cartridge capable of bagging? Rabbit, squirrel, small varmints ... but keep your maximum range to about 50 yards. Try not to shoot birds with a .22 ... using solid bullets makes your rifle dangerous to over a mile, and using .22 shotshells will be frustrating, since the #11 shot (commonly called "dust") is effective to about 10 feet!\n\nGood luck!

google that.   i.e.\ngo to www.google.com \ntype in value of a 32 winchester special rifle pat date Aug 21 1894?\n\nThen check out the sites.  I do this in regards to many things.  Guns, old wines, novelty name brand items such as oreo, hershey, anchor hocking items ( you used to get cups and stuff out of oatmeal containers way back when ).  I find it very helpful.  I once bought a bottle of 1975 burgundy wine at a garage sale for a dollar, I did a google search and found that particular bottle and type was worth $300!

A rebuild kit may not be (and is not likely to be) available.  These were cheap enough at the time to be disposable in case of severe damage (the only fix then - as now would be a gunsmith).\n\nThey are called that because they are like blacksmiths and can make a part if it doesn't exist.\nI suggest that to be your best recourse if restoring this rifle is worthwhile of such expense - depending on your personal critiria.\n\nI think you might want to search on eBay - and the Internet as a whole - for entire guns.\n\nYou may also want to look for "for parts" guns - and hope that the same part is not broken.  I took mine apart and couldn't get it back together.  That would've been about 5 years earlier than yours.\n\nIt was eventually replaced by a .22 rimfire ($39.95 from K-Mart) and tossed out.\n\nThat was probably the fate of most of these.\n\nP.S. Perhaps a gunsmith could advise you of the feasibility of finding a rebuild kit, or what options are available.  I suggest that you persue that also.

i just checked into this myself for i live here also, but all you have to do is be shure the buyer is 18 years old,. if its a private sale and your not a dealer you dont have to get a backround for a rifle ,ALL pistols or anything in the pistol class such as a asslt rifles w/ folding stocks must be registered with the local police,...I suggest a bill of sale on all firearms in triplicat at least with one witness so that if anything bad happens with said weapon...say stolen and used in a crime, you are not liable. Rifles are traced by the original sale of the weapon,not by the subsequent sales unless sold by a dealer,or reregistered to the new owner via the police station.

What you are about to do is illegal.  READ THE YELLOW FEDERAL FORM.   The firearm must be for you.  If you buy it then give it to him you have committed a felony because the gun was never meant to be for you!!!!!!!!!

its BB guns and they are not illegal they can be bought and sold without a f/o/i/d card but they are only for target practice or out at the creek or river or in the country not in city limits

You need to find some way of proving the weapon belongs to you.  Perhaps the person who sold it to you recorded the serial number and can write a receipt/bill of sale to you? When you filed a police report, (for the breakin) did you document any unique markings/damage to the weapon in the description?  \n\nGood Luck

contact the BATF, but this differs from state to state...if you live in communis...sorry california and some new england states then there is a long list of illegal firearms and banned guns, but if you life in a relatively free state then the only weapons that are banned is anything fully auto and anything silenced, UNLESS you purchase permit and have it registered with the BATF...why do you ask?

Depends on the quality of the rifle. Best to take it to a PROFESSIONAL firearms dealer (not your buddy who read about it in G&A) and have it evaluated "for auction"

i have 2 ruger 10/22s a remington 597 and a marlin model60. I agree you can deck out the 10/22 to look pretty sweet but anything over 10 round mags fail often and jamb frequently, acurracy is also an issue, the 597 is a nice rifle for the money but remington hasnt improved the magazine flaws yet thusly the jamb also the marlin model 60 BY FAR the most popular 22 LR in the world...more of them sold than any other very accurate I have owned mine for over 12 years and not once has it failed
