I am seriously considering selling my semiauto rifle.

It's not, by any stretch, an "Assault Weapon"...if we want to conflate/derive terms, it's a "Battle Weapon", a target specific model based on the AR-10 "battle rifle". The HK G3, the M1 Garand (the "greatest battle implement ever devised" per Patton), the Gewehr 41s, all shoot true high power .30 cal rounds - same as mine. It's not a gun that can be shot standing, or from the hip, it's a four-foot-long fifteen-pound precision rifle that must be shot off a rest, or the bipod.

That being said, I'm already getting offers of over $4000 for it, which I don't WANT to take, because I tremendously enjoy shooting it and am also damn good with it...but they're very tempting. I can have the actions on both my M700s (300WM and 338RUM) blueprinted, Krieger barrels fitted, McMillan stocks bedded, the scopes aligned, and the rifles Cerakoted, all for about $500 more than I could sell the AR for. It's very tempting.

ETA - every firearm I have ever sold has been through an FFL. I eat the transfer cost myself and keep a bill of sale with the name of the dealer and the date of the transfer. CYA, dude.
