Attention all local FFL's show up ... big signs .. FREE APRAISALS

35.00 ... i'm sure you can part it out and still make $$ or just a big Fu to the buyback ...

"Persons who turn in non-working or antique firearms will receive a $25 card. "

Tell the city to buy their guns on Gunbroker.com like everyone else.

Now if they had a 9mm ammo buyback program with that pricing mentality, that would be a worthy scam.

Forty-seven guns taken off streets in Kingston buyback - Mid Hudson News

KINGSON – An assault rifle, 15 handguns, 17 rifles and shotguns and 14 non-working or antique guns were turned in to Kingston City Police on Saturday during a guy buyback program sponsored by State Attorney General Letitia James’ office. The 47 weapons were redeemed for gift cards provided by...

An actual, honest-to-goodness, fully automatic assault rifle?
In New York?
Not one of those "modern sporting rifles" the media and Rights-infringers try to call an "assault rifle"?

I have a hard time believing this.

The black thumbhole-stocked rifle , sitting two above the AR is a Gamo break barrel pellet rifle. Check the position of the zip-tie. Right where the barrel breaks. Probably the deadly .177 caliber... Pheww. I'm sure glad that now it wont fall into the wrong hands...now I can sleep.

How much does it cost to 'print' a plastic gun? -- could be a business opportunity here...just wondering.

Since taking office in 2019, James’ office has taken close to 1,000 firearms out of closets and dresser drawers and attics statewide
through gun buyback programs.

It would be cheaper and easier to make a slam fire shotgun from some pipe and a chunk of 2x4. There are tutorials online to make one for this exact purpose.
To answer your question though the bulk majority of the printed guns out there are just the frame with a factory parts kit. There are very few "bargain" models to build, any cheap kit supply is swooped up in a matter of hours as soon as a new model releases. There have been builds based on the highpoint and some other cheap throwaway pistols, the parts kits were very cheap at sub $50, but are now unavailable or more than an new pistol. The actual cost for the printed frame of a say a glock pistol is only a couple bucks but add in a $30 rail kit, another $60 for the lpk, another $200+ for a populated slide...you can see where this is going.
The "liberator" style printed pistol is a viable option for buybacks I suppose, other than they may not believe its a functional pistol and pay you accordingly. There are some other 22 designs out there that are fully printed but again, they may not believe its an actual working pistol because it doesn't look traditional.
