If you don't want to give it to a buy back you can try to see if a local gunsmith will take it

you can cut it up and throw it away...i think there is a special way you have to though??.


but why not bring it to a buy back and make a hundred bucks off it

The gun buyback is a good idea.

The traditional method would be to see if it can swim.

Give it to me, give it to a gunsmithing school or student, gunsmith, etc!

I'm sure the local police dept would take it. Ask them to destroy it, a company comes to mine every now and then and destroys them in a cool shredder thing.

So do not cut the cylinder.

Cut the hammer after blocking it from moving.

Cut the top strap and bottom strap.

It is not all that hard to figure out how to handle it safely.

Not a lot of 'buybacks' in Virginia.
