The above link contains all the information about the upcoming Austin PD gun buyback.
I got rid of a bad .22 rifle in the last APD buyback in June 2010.
Wish I could find some more bad guns to turn in.

There is a limit of two guns per person
I could have carved lots of "replicas" before then.

Anyone want to stand on street corner nearby and offer to pay more for quality guns?

That's what the police at these things think too, but I've never heard nor seen cited what law we would be breaking.

So, buy two fake plastic Steyr AUGs here: " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Take to APD, get $400.
That's about $350 profit. Then take that and help buy yourself a nice, new REAL rifle.
Thank you, APD!

You can have my Lorcin, but that .380 ammo is like gold

I have a little glenfield model 75c .22lr I have had problems with feed failures. Thinking I should take it in and get $100 for it.
Your thoughts and opinions??

But without a way to check the serial numbers on the weapons you'd likely find yourself in possession of stolen property after the 1st buy. Then you are in trouble.

Only law you would likely be breaking is a city ordinance.
I would not give these folks anything to improve their statistics.

would be kinda silly for some one to be taking a stolen weapon up to the PD to trade in dont ya think?

My math is a little different, netting
($39.49), $23.99 per gun plus $11.49 shipping minus the $20 APD would give you. They pay $10 for replicas and toys, not $200, even if they are copies of "assault rifles".
